iPhone 14 Pro battery draining quickly

All of these setting are nice, HOWEVER, when I set the iPhone 14 pro the very same way I set my iPhone SE, the iPhone SE outperforms the iPhone 14 Pro battery Significantly. Apple know they have a problem with the iPhone 14 Pro which is why they NO LONGER SELL the iPhone 14 Pro. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE for Apple. However, given the expense that iPhone 14 Pro customers shelled out for a very inferior product, the least Apple could do is provide a "Special Upgrade Price to a iPhone 15Pro" as an incentive to keep Apple Loyalty high. This Special Pricing would include a Higher-than-Normal Trade-In value towards the purchase of the iPhone 15Pro. But, if Apple doesn't care about customer loyalty, then they won't do anything about this issue. It's All About Numbers at this point.

Same here, my iPhone 8 after all these years only lost charge to 89% capacity. My iPhone 14 Pro Max has gone to 95% capacity in a year. It was 100% before the ios17 updates

Same for me :/

It is drastically noticeable that after the latest updates the battery is much worse.

thats so sad Apple

Even my iphone 14 pro's battery is draining like ****, in a day I have to charge twice. It's health is decreasing day by day. Why it's happening like this? It's not even a year

After I installed iOS 17.4 on my iPhone 14pro max, my battery health decreased and then my battery usually last for few hrs instead of roughly 14hrs… pls apple kindly fix this problem

Yes! Mine updated last night, and usually the battery lasts til at least 10 pm but today around 230 it said I had low battery and it gets quite warm, which just started today too.

I have 14 pro for 14 months. It was 99% till I upgraded to iOS 17. Usually I wait for a while to see if iOS has no problems. My bf has the same phone bought at the same time as mine and he has automatic updates. he had no issues. He still has 100% battery. So I updated somewhere in November 23’ and since then, so two months battery lost 3%. so one year 1% and in two months 3 more % lost. And I’m not heavy user. Strangely to say after latest update to ios 17.2 the battery was more down 1% next day.

Almost from the day one I own the phone I turned off all futures to safe battery, not overcharging, turning off at night, at work using wi fi only and airplane mode. It is so ridiculous to sacrifice all that to preserve battery life. And for what? So Apple with new updates can trow all that to down to drain?

it is highly annoying

When I traded my old iPhone 10x after 4 years use the phone had 80% battery life with all futures fully used. 14 pro battery won’t last that long if this s* happening.

Well, at least I can tell this is definitely iOS 17 problem.

Is that solution stop being paranoid with battery saving and start using fully till it’s very low capacity and then just buy new battery??? Give it two years?

Just this week I can’t even charge my iPhone 14 Pro all the way to 100%, even overnight! And it does very quickly! In the last 2 days the highest I have been able to charge it is about 70%, and that lasts a few hours at most! I’ve only had it since September 2023!

Is Apple addressing this issue?

Just checked again since first posting. Got the phone 14 Pro 1Tb in November 2022 and just checked and it’s at 84% with “heavy” usage would be maybe 2 hours active on the phone (texts/calls) off charger and most other activities on my Series 8 watch (which still gets close to 2 days on single charge and purchased at the same time as the phone).

all tweaks and battery charging optimizations active at all times since setting them up while sitting at the counter waiting on the service to activate

My iPhone 14 Pro Max is 1 year and 3 months old. In December (so 3 months ago) battery started to drop from 97% to 96….and today to 92%. I haven’t been using it any differently.

I really don’t get. Other people and Apple suggest to “update your phone” but people here complain that it drains even faster now after iOS 17.

My one year limited warranty is no longer active. Why is Apple not starting a battery replacement for all since the issue really seems to be with the iPhones battery and not the user.

Same story here. 85% max charge. I was given some “helpful hints” by Apple but it sure as **** doesn’t explain why the battery charge availability all of the sudden drops 15% after the IOS 17 upgrade.

It’s infuriating after dropping well over $1200 less than a year ago on a 14 Pro Max.

I had this issue and fixed it. Go to Settings:

1. Check your apps running in background. You can put a time limit on these in Screen time.
2. Turn off “fetch” for mail. Get your emails when you request - not all the time.
3. Make sure videos that you are not watching are not trying to keep playing.
4. Zoom and Skype both use up battery faster.
5. Display/ brightness - turn off “always on display”. Shorten time before auto lock.
6. Stand by: You can set to auto turn off display when not using phone.
7. Battery: Turn on Low Power Mode
8. Turn off Notifications from Apps that are low priority to you.
9. Avoid using your Hotspot with another device. That definitely depletes battery faster.
10. Keep software updated.
11. . Try to always watch videos, use Zoom or Skype, or edit videos when phone is plugged in.

If all this fails, check with carrier for network reset, and contact Apple tech support for help.

I noticed my battery life also improved with latest software update.

Status now: I went from charging 2x/ day to being only 40-50% down after 14 hours.

I average 10+ hours a day on my phone using it more like a second laptop.

Same. Had this iPhone 14 for 7 months the maximum capacity is at88% what’s going on Apple.

In this case, you can directly contact the Apple Support team to diagnose your iPhone Official Apple Support
