battery drain ios 17.2 iphone 15 pro max

I’m about 4 days in with my new iPhone 15 pro.. I’ve been debating exchanging it for the normal 15 to see if the battery is better on that phone.. but it sounds like it may be a waste of time right? It most likely doesn’t matter which phone bc the cause is the software? Any idea? Is it worth it to switch to the 15?

I really wonder what’s happening to iOS versions released lately. It cost a fortune to buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max in Ghana my home country. Within just two months, my battery life has reduced from 94 to 89 with the installation of iOS 17. What’s happening? Now most of my friends who wanted to buy iPhone are now diverting into Samsung. The earlier these problems are corrected the better. It’s like apple now rushes to release iOS versions without testing its limit. Am planning on selling my 14 pro max to get a Samsung phone. This sucks.

I got mine 15 pro max on 29/12 and had no other option than iOS 17.2.1. However so far it’s battery last less than my pervious iphone 11 which has 84% battery health.

So Apple pls fix this asap and due diligently system test the new iOS instead rushing to release it. Thx.

Brand new iPhone 15 Pro and I can basically sit and watch the battery drain. Less than a week old. Disappointed beyond belief. Have tried a lot of the things online and hate the thought of going back to spectrum as have had 2 visits and both were over 2 hours each time. (Was given wrong phone first, then had to go back to get to get upgraded to 15 pro. I should have kept the 15). Any suggestions on how to fix this without going back to waste my life. Have tried hard reset, adjusted some of the settings, backed it up, updates are done. For $1000 I expected a lot better than this. Any help would be appreciated. I am not ‘real’ tech savvy. Thank you!!!

I have an old XS phone that overheat as soon as I touch it and I have turned off everything on the phone really that can drain it. (Since the update before the battery was fine), it eats my battery to the point that I have to have It in the charger all the time, 100% to 0% take 3h (if i dont use it alot).. I now need a new phone.. but who want to buy a new phone with the same problem. That battery will for sure be damaged so fast. :(

I just purchased a brand new iphone PM15 yesterday. I still have my iphone Pro 13. Both phones were at 79% this morning. I was only on the phone for several hours on PM15 and the battery went from 79 to 25 in two hours. My 13 is at 59 - I used my apps because PM hadnt downloaded the apps. PM15 will be returned.

My 11 pro max has been awful since I updated to iOS 17 I was hoping that these other updates would cure it

not used my phone much today but already on 46%

Same as mine 😕🤚 I thought maybe switching to eSIM has impacted my battery life

The only thing I have learned from the Apple products I have used so far is to never update them. Because each update reduces the battery charge and we have to charge it more than twice a day.

It happened to me too after 2 days of updating to iOS 17.2 but it resolved itself after 4 days or so.

Also same experience with 14 Pro Max...terrible battery drain iOS 17.2

I have my 14 pro, i get the 17.2 update and my phone was heating and battery lose 10% at least one hour. Please fixit. Don’ make me regret chose Apple.

And no, I had turned off the always-on display since I bought the phone, so the screen was fully off

Me as well only I have 14 Pro Max these updates get worse and worse

Same here. No apps open and I can literally watch the battery level dropping. Battery is getting pretty warm. iPhone XR. 17.2 is way too buggy. iCloud also never finishes syncing. Same as messages.
