iphone 15 pro battery drain IOS17.1

i just bought an iPhone 15 pro and I’m experiencing faster than normal battery drainage. I thought the iOS 17.1 update was meant to fix it but it didn’t. My battery is worse than the 11 pro max. As I’m writing this post my battery went down 2 percent (in 4 minutes)

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Using: iPhone 15 Pro Max

I was dealing with the same situation. My battery was dying SO fast. I went to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and toggled it to off and now my battery has not only lasted all day but I’m only at 79%. And I use my phone pretty heavily. I also just got it a couple days ago; so with getting it all set up and all I was using it more than normal, but still.. it shouldn’t have been dying so quickly. Thank the stars it’s under control now. It made 110% difference.

I found a solution for iphone 15 battery drain out issue.

I noticed “hotspot” was turned on and also “Call on other devices” post update.

I turned off hotspot by going to settings —— hotspot and switch toggle to off

2. settings ——— cellular——— turn off call on other devices.

in addition make sure your bluetooth is off when not in use. Make sure to turn off through settings and not just from control panel. Settings —— Bluetooth—— turn toggle to off.


this has immensely helped me with iphone battery drain issue and my iphone 15 Pro Max is holding the charge all day despite me playing games and spending lots of time on social media. Hope this helps

As bojan103 and marin282 recommended, I did a reset all settings. This seems to have mostly brought me back to pre 17.1/17.1.1 battery life. I did this after having done reboots and force restarts, a reset network settings, and a full wipe and restore - none of which seemed to help.


I had avoided reset all settings because of the huge job it is to re-do everything. But it was worth it for me. If you are going to try this and you have a lot of settings to recreate, you might want to take some screenshots/notes first.

You just have to do a factory reset of all settings


Before you do that, take some screenshots about the location, services app background, refresh, or settings like the keyboard

Or just settings that you have set up for this phone

you don’t lost any data or apps or something like that


you just have to put in your Wi-Fi password after that

this will help

and please turn off on time screen because this is the big problem when you have turned it on

You might want to look at this article:

I switch from an iPhone 11 Pro to an iPhone 15 Pro and am absolutely blown away by how much better the battery is.


Going down 2% in 4 minutes is, by itself, not useful data. That could be quite normal, especially if it then drops only 2% in the next hour.


Go to Settings>Battery and look at what's using your battery.

You have to perform a factory reset all settings

You will nothing lose

Just have to type in the Wi-Fi password after that


And I suggest you to make screenshots about your settings, app, refresh location, services, keyboard settings, your own, and other settings

I got this situation 2 years ago with my iPhone 13 pro and now with the 15 pro the same

chaim195,have you checked your ph storage capacity to make sure you have enough head room. If you have added a large amount of new apps and have a huge supply of undeleted email(with pictures) messages with same undeleted ph recents and voice mail which all use a lot of power when all added together but if nothing has changed then it’s a puzzle.

I have wrote the whole time that you have to a reset all settings


And suddenly this has helped


I know have no issue with the phone battery on my iPhone 15 Pro


just to reset all settings wait five days turn off time on screen


And you have to turn some services on location settings because this was the maintain that caused the battery drain

Share location

HomeKit

suggest and search

Manage device


please turn this location services off

Wait five days and you will see a noticeable change on the battery
