iPhone 14 Pro battery draining quickly

Anyone else having issue with the battery health for iPhone 14 pro, especially after the latest iOS (17) update? If so, has anyone find any solutions to this?

In the past few weeks it went from 100% to 95% in the blink of an eye and I haven't changed anything in my usage or the apps I usually use. The phone is 10 months old, I feel it is just too new for the battery to be degrading like this. I always knew that Apple devices have these issues with the battery, but it just starts to be worse and worse with every device they release...

Unfortunately Apple Support has been totally useless, telling me essentially to stop using certain features (like "Always on display") or reset the phone and manually set it up. All of this while still being in warranty and paying for the extra warranty on top of this. Super disappointed in the solutions and the support received.

same thing here with a iphone 14 Pro Max. I'm on 17.5.1 and now i have to constantly keep my phone charging at work.

this is definitely due to recent update because i was able to use my phone normally until this week.

battery health is at 88% capacity. phone is 1 year old. WTF apple?

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

What you could also do is trade it in for the 13 it lasts longer

Yeah, I already tried and they told me I should disable my VPN (which I also used from day 1 of buying this phone) and reset my whole device and manually install it from scratch. Either of these options seem a bit bogus to me honestly. In the era of AI and automation, setting up a device manually and not being able to restore from backup seems just rudimentary to me. Especially when we have logs that can be checked lol.

Same I bought my iPhone 14 Pro on day 1 of June, and last time I check which was like a month ago I was 99% sure I use my phone while charging and don't have auto brightness. But yet my 14 pro went down in one month from 99% to 95% my 12 pro went down to 95% in 8 months. And yet when I still had it in April I was at 87%

Same…all of the sudden phone doesn’t make it past midafternoon without needing recharging. iPhone 14 Pro. I know I can do things listed to improve battery life but I have those features on for a reason. It’s annoying. I have to carry a battery pack with me now. This is just the last month or so…

It is happening to me also. I've purchased this iPhone about one month ago, I come from an iPhone Xs Max, that last me 5 years or so and the battery couldn't handle the time spent on calls, in the middle of the day I had to recharge my cell phone. At first, the 14 Pro Max's battery lasted until the end of the day at about 20%. Now in the middle of the day I'm at about 40% when I was at 60/65%. When I look at it, I saw that what drains the battery the most is calls but in some occasions on days when I have spent little time on the phone, that´s what doesn't make any sense to me. I am very disappointed with this model.

Same to me and it keeps degrading. I’ll try to contact Apple Support again but I highly doubt they’ll fix something. It’s super frustrating cause this shouldn’t be happening for less than a year phone.

I have exactly the same problem. I bought my phone through a mobile operator * important to mention that I am located in Europe on the Balkan Peninsula where there are no licensed Apple repair shops and stores. The operator told me that this is normal and there was nothing they could do, although my warranty covers battery replacement . In my case, 93 percent.I am extremely disappointed with Apple. Hopefully with their new model phone things will change because otherwise I'm ready to switch brands.

And now something similar is happening with the watch... after iOS 10.2 it went completely wild and the battery doesn't even last a full day. 4 days ago it was literally lasting with high usage for 1 day at a half minimum (it's Apple Watch 8 bought in April!)

Dec 26, 2023 1:39 AM in response to kerrycrow

Can relate. My phone just turned two MONTHS(!!!) old. iphone 14 pro max.

It won't charge past 80%.

And since last software update, I am averaging 1-2 calls around 15-30 minutes each, then phone not used, and it is out of battery in afternoon!

What the heck did last update do?!
