Hi everyone,
Has anyone noticed their 16 pro max battery draining quicker than it should? Got the phone on launch day, under Settings>Battery it mentioned some updates running in the background may affect battery and thermal performance so I waited. Now that the message is gone, I still notice the battery draining quicker than usual.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
My phone used to drain battery rapidly even when it was idle, and I couldn’t figure out why. A friend recommended this guide 11 Proven Steps to fix iPhone 16 Pro Max Battery Drain Issue. I followed their tips, turning off few features that I didn’t need to be running in background, especially background apps like the weather and map widgets. Now, I’m seeing a noticeable improvement in my battery life! You should try them aswell.
I was testing if an app is doing this but to no avail, the iPhone 16 pro is still drawing pretty fast, in the specs they show some battery performance similar to the 13 pro max but, of course, my 13 pro max still has this amazing battery life… I don’t know if should I wait for the 18.1 update or send it to warranty, because AT&T does not accept returns.

iphone 16 pro battary draining insanely fast! (74% bat iphone 13 mini gets 7 hours screen on) while light use on the 16 pro only gets 6 if im lucky
Please refer to my post above.
My battery seems to drain when it’s charging with the included charger.
Same here. Really noticeable battery drain and horrible standby battery life
I suspected that it was Apple Intelligence, so I disabled for last 24 hours and it is draining the same without it enabled. Definitely something else going on.
Same experience with iPhone 16 pro. Got it on launch day. Apple health app is using ~20% of the battery, with only 3 minutes on screen. Didn't have this issue before...
I am facing the same problem with iPhone 16 as well.
This is how mine looks too. About 5 hours on screen time before hitting red.
My old Iphone 11 with 71% battery life lasted as long as my new Iphone 16 Pro
Omg , I have the same problem. I am so disappointed with this new iPhone 16 . I will probably return and keep my old iPhone 11
My 13 pro max battery runs laps around this 16 pro max, what’s the deal…
The battery on my new 16 Pro Max is draining at about the same rate as my 3 year old 13pro Max. I am trying to find things to shut off. So far, still the same.
Same boat. Bought my 16 Pro on Friday, and battery life was a primary reason for purchase. It’s draining as fast, if not faster, than my 13 Pro. Pretty bummed I already traded that one in.
Why is my iPhone 16 Pro Max battery draining so fast?
