iPhone 15 battery draining fast

Only had iPhone 15 pro max for 2 weeks my battery is shocking. It drains quickly.

i don’t even use it all the time and I have 99% half a day in and I'm on 33%

how can this be, wish I kept my old phone now. For the price of my contract I shouldn’t be getting these issues

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

“Battery life” is the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged. “Battery lifespan” is the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.


"With iOS, you can easily manage your device’s battery life, because you can see the proportion of your battery used by each app (unless the device is charging). To view your usage, go to Settings > Battery."

I had an iPhone pro 15 that drained battery much faster than the iPhone 13 Pro it was replacing.


Drain was higher all the time but I noticed at night the drain was happening while findmy was active. I could see this by selecting the section of battery use and that nothing else was showing except findmy. battery was dropping 40% or more overnight while not in use.


I returned the phone within the refund period and all is back to normal with the older iPhone 13 Pro so seems to be specific to the newer model.


if I’d missed the return window I would probably have just turned the phone off each night. But appreciate that won’t help battery drain during the day. I think findmy activity might be at the root of the problem so might be worth experimenting with that eg what happens if you turn off all the other Apple devices apart from iPhone, to see if that makes any difference. Findmy is an important feature though so turning off to solve battery drain is problematic.
