iPhone 16 pro battery draining fast

It feels like the 16 pro drains battery like crazy. Mine has gone from 95% to 81% in 38 minutes of light use and some picture taking. Phone also gets really hot when using the camera!


Anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

My 16 pro battery was draining very fast but after disabling siri and search settings and removing whether app widget as suggested here 11 Proven Steps to fix iPhone 16 Pro Battery Drain Issue and following other recommendations too, there was noticeable improvement in battery draining. Note that I didn't turned off raise to wake and push notifications.

Same here, my phone is brand new just 3 days and the battery drains very fast. My 4 years old 11 Pro Max at its 77% capacity can hold the charge better than this one, it's so frustrating. I lock the phone, put it on airplane mode, disactivate location and all background updates, NO use at all and still the battery goes down!!

Hope they can fix it with a software update and it's not a faulty batch needing replacement, because honestly that would be so disappointing. I can't imagine with Apple Intelligence the battery will run out in a couple of hours. I expect from this new phone battery to last at least a day and a half with a light use :( and being a light user I've stretched it up to 24 hours on a weekend, but now that I'm at work and I need to use it it doesn't seem that it's going to last until the end of my working day.

I recently faced heavy battery drainage on my new iPhone 16 Pro, and it was pretty concerning at first. However, after a few days, the issue resolved itself. Now, with about 50% battery usage, I’m getting around 5 hours and 30 minutes of backup, which is solid! So, if you're experiencing similar issues, don’t panic—just give it some time, and it might improve like mine did!
