This dud iPhone 16, battery drained overnight, bed at 11 up 8 hours later - phone dead.

Apple what about a response to the iPhone 16 issues, better yet what about fixing the issues.

When you go to Settings/Battery which apps use the most energy? There are only 2 things that drain the battery; cellular data connections and apps. So the only possibility is an app. And anyway, you should be charging your phone overnight. The absolute best way to get maximum use on a charge, as well as slow the decline of battery capacity long term is to enable Optimized Battery Charging (Settings/Battery/Battery Health) and charge the device overnight, every night. The battery will fast charge to 80%, then pause. During the nighttime pause the phone will use mains power instead of battery power, allowing the battery to “rest”, and thus reducing the need to charge the battery quite as often. The phone will resume charging to reach 100% when you are ready to use your phone; it will “learn” your usage pattern. If you enable iCloud Backup (Settings/[your name]/iCloud - iCloud Backup) the phone will back up overnight also, assuring that you can never lose more than the current day’s updates.
