iphone 15 pro battery drain IOS17.1

To be honest when I first bought the 15 pro max the battery life was fine. It would barely budge through out the day. When I updated it to 17.1 that’s when I noticed the battery is draining very rapidly. I’ll fully charge my phone to full, turn off all back ground apps and close everything before bed, and I’ll wake up to about 61% power. My 13 pro max’s battery life was way better than this.

I am having the same issue, I went from an 11pro to a 15pro and my usual Sunday (teaching three hours of class to music) and walking a couple miles with an audiobook and my 11pro would be around 72-80% when I got home. Today the same exact routine with less walking so less time, first time on my iPhone 15pro had the battery at 60% when I got home. It should have been more than my 11pro just because it started raining and I didn’t complete my usual walk and took a car. I expected great battery time when switching from an 11pro to a 15pro and this is very disconcerting.

I just did my second feedback on this issue. The first was an iPhone 15 yellow that I purchased about two weeks ago that had severe battery drain issues and I had to return it because that was the only solution that Tech Support could offer on my ticket. I purchased an iPhone 15 Pro yesterday, in hopes that it would perform better, I made sure to ask the associates at the store to make sure my phone has been manufactured recently. They told me my 15 pro had been manufactured December 29, 2023. So I thought perhaps I’d get a phone without the issue, but this phone has the same battery Draine issue as my iPhone 15. I have turned off everything and turned off background refresh, and turned off screen always on, etc. etc. all the things we’ve discussed in this group and nothing has helped. I just now tried to “reset all settings” as someone else on this forum suggested that might help, and I will let you know if that helps. I put in my second feedback about this iPhone 15 Pro. I have right now. This is crazy.

Did ios 17.1.1 fixed this issue?

It does on my phone. I was to using se2020 it was taking about %30-35 at the night because of Find My app. Now I’m using 15 Pro Max. The app still does work at the night ant it takes %8 battery at the night. I don’t know if it is a bug and I have still this trouble beacuse I set my phone using Icloud backup but I don’t know how can i fix it. Anyone fix it and know the solution please help! And my battery drains so fast. The battery gives same performance as se2020…

Same here this also happened with my iPhone 13, the latest update cured it. But I have just updated the 15 Pro and it's still draining the battery. I will wait and see what happens next . I have had iPhones for years, this never happened!?!?!

Same here. I bought a 15 PRO last week and the battery of my 13 is way better. Battery drained from 100% to 91% in less than 1/2 hour. The worst battery life in an iPhone. At the Apple Store they told me it was fine.

Subject: Urgent Battery Drain Issue on iPhone 15 Pro

Dear Apple Team,

I am writing to express my severe dissatisfaction with the recurring battery drain problem on the iPhone 15 Pro.

A couple of years back, I faced a similar issue with the iPhone 13 Pro. However, a simple reset of all settings rectified the problem and made the functioning pretty smooth.

Fast forward to now, the same problem has arisen with the iPhone 15 Pro, but this time, the tried and tested method seems futile.

I am disgusted to report that this isn’t an isolated problem. An increasing number of iPhone 15 Pro users have reported identical issues, each one adding to our collective frustration. Our wallets suffer while our materials get destroyed.

We are collectively gathering evidence of these malfunctions. If necessary, we will forward this information along to force recognition of our grievances, since our high-end, expensive phones are conflicting with their inherent promises of longevity and reliability.

If Apple chooses to remain nonchalant about this serious issue, rest assured, we have other means to register our protest.

Awaiting your swift and favorable response,

You can't compare an iPhone 11 Pro to an iPhone 15 Pro. Even a 15 Pro at its worst will be better than an 11 Pro at its best. If you came from a 14 Pro, even a 13 Pro, you'd experience the same, and you would understand.

Yes, I can compare my experience with one phone and another phone. You may not find it useful but it remains my experience.

When it comes to something technical and you're comparing, it should be apples-to-apples, not apples-to-bananas. The iPhone 11 Pro is over four years old.

You apparently missed the point of my post. I'll try to explain it so that you can understand. I was comparing my experiences and how I felt about the new phone. I was not making a technical comparison between a band new phone and phone with a seven month old battery. Though, I don't believe that comparison would be as in-apt as you seem to think.

If none of that makes sense to you, I won't mind in the least if you just give up and stop attempting to make me post the way you want.

I just bought the iPhone 15 also..big mistake! Same problem w/battery. Not a bit better than my 3 year old iPhone 12 with it's bad battery. Consumer reports recommended much cheaper phones but went with this since I have the Apple suite of products --but this will be my last.

The other day I turned my phone off and turned it back on and saw my battery go from 48% to 38% out of no where. It then dropped again to 33%, and I’ve tried everything to fix the issue but I’m still having sudden drops in battery percentage. Is anyone else experiencing sudden drops in the battery percentage?

the only reason I bought the 15 pro was the battery life. What a disappointment. There is no way this battery lives up to the advertising. No better than my SE 2, and that battery was down to 85% full capacity. I feel really ripped off

Yea, it’s happened multiple times too since. Last night my phone dropped 20% in battery. It dropped from 48 to 38 after I quickly turned my phone off to go do something and then a minute later I came back and turned it on and it was at 38%. All my location services are either set to never or only while using the app
