iPhone 16 pro battery draining fast

My battery was 96 now it’s 92% I was just playing monopoly on my phone just for abit and it’s draining so quick I just got the phone on Tuesday

If you are < 30 days from purchase. Please take refund. My 16 pro battery is getting worse and now 33 days from purchase ! Can’t get refund or replacement .

I have tried it with apple - no chance of improving even with the best settings.

If you can, best is return before it is beyond 30 days.

My battery life has been slowly getting worse, my phone heated up and battery drained on the MagSafe charger while I was asleep and got hot enough that the phone quit charging and set an error message. Then today it drained from full charge to 18 percent with less than an hour and a half of screen on time…. I contacted support and will follow their suggestions to turn off location and background activity but I don’t have high hopes. Anyone else have other suggestions? My old iPhone didn’t have battery issues on iOS 18 before I upgraded and my wife’s iPhone on iOS 18 has been running fine. Starting to feel like I got a dud.

Same. How do you fix this? I was expecting a similar battery performance coming from the 11 Pro Max, but no, the battery is draining much more significantly... I lose about 60% of battery with 4-5 hours of light use. Could this be because of IOS 18? Or is it the iPhone itself? Apple, we need a response asap.

my iphone 16 pro battery is draining soo quickly 80% to 20% within 3 hours is there any solution to solve this draining issue in 16 pro series and now i charged 80 percentage but within 34min it cane to 72% plss give any solution for the battery issue

The same is happening to me. My iphone 16 pro battery drains within no time. Charging it to 100% but It doesn’t even lasts for around 17-18 hours. I’m using it normally no gaming, less video streaming etc. yesterday charged my phone to 100%. One FaceTime call for around 1 hour and battery percentage gone below 75%. My iPhone 14 Pro battery health was around 87%, 100% charge lasts more than 24 hours with video streaming, browsing social media, listening music etc. But iPhone 16 pro being very new phone it is not the case. Battery drains so fast.

The performance, battery life and overall stability is far worse than my iPhone 14 Pro.

Apple must look into this.

Exactly same. 100% to 17% over the course of the day. I have looked at my phone maybe a handful of times in the day for approx 1 minute each time. Been so busy at work. I think the lock screen is lighting up to full brightness in my pocket and when not in use. I can’t think of any other explanation. The battery app tells me the Lock Screen has used 59% of my battery today.

Best is to return 16 pro. Worst of the Apple products I have used so far. I have a Genius Bar report stating that no misuse. Needs replacement ! Apple won’t replace it as bought from Currys . Currys won’t as I contacted Apple <30 days ( asked for proof etc - provided )and now it is just beyond 30 days.

bye for Apple for now and move !

if you are < 30 days - please take refund

I had purchased my phone through AT&T. And since they only give you 14 days to exchange (AND you must pay a $55 restocking fee) I wasted little time and exchanged it for the Pro 16 Max. Perhaps I've just gotten used to the much better battery life of a larger size phone. It's an improvement for sure.

Hi , even I’m facing the same issue ,I got it 2 days back n I just used it normally today to see the performance and the way battery drained is crazy ,my iPhone XR is comparatively has better performance considering its 5 years old !! this is shocking, what can I do ? What’s the solution for this?

Absolutely not working. I've been checking any possible setting, waiting 12 days, been to the Genius Bar... my old 11 pro with 68% battery is still lasting the same as the new 16 pro. They're gonna come out with some excuse eventually and declare that some lots suffered from production flaws... as usual.

I'm also experiencing the same faster battery draining issue with my newly bought 16 pro Max. Whether my last Iphone 13 Pro max was 78% battery life but still that could support day long heavy use. But my new 16 Pro Max drains the battery like tornado with its 100% battery life, without operating any heavy task. Why Apple is not answering till now regarding this battery drain issue? I am very upset. I shouldn't trade-in my last 13 Pro Max with this silly battery life - iphone 16 Pro Max.

Thank you for sharing that link! I do think that it’s just not right that disabling Siri be a solution for a 16 pro phone, especially when Apple intelligence has just been launched and something that they’re promoting. The 16 pro phone should be well equipped out of the box to perform well with Apple intelligence, and yet… so disappointing…
