iPhone 17 battery drains quickly with normal use

Me tooo.. I purchased my iphone 17 on 4 days back and today i just used the camera for not even 10 mins and the battery dropped to 73% from 80%. I previously had iphone 11 with 74% battery health and it used to work so much better. I am regretting this purchase.

On my iPhone 17. After every reboot battery percentage drops by 3 %. I did this 10 times and battery drained 30%. Non sense apple says this is normal. How?? With very nominal usage I am loosing whole battery on my phone.

my iPhone 16 plus with similar or more usage giving 2.5 times battery life than iPhone 17.

I just got my new 17 pro max 4 days ago. I build houses so I leave the phone in my car most of the time. By the end of an 8 hour shift the battery goes from 80 to 60 % just sitting there. I had the 15 pro max and the battery would last three days when new. There is definitely something not working properly. Apple please fix the issue.

You should be charging your phone at night. Makes no difference what device you have or iOS version, the phone is always running while on and will use the battery. If overnight means 8 hours, that is a mere 1% per hour and would not indicate anything is wrong.

I began my day with 100% battery. I’ve used my phone for nothing other than listening to an audiobook. It is now 4 PM in my battery is less than 10%. I’ve had this phone for less than 10 days. I am sorely disappointed.

Can someone tell me if the issue I am having with my iPhone 17 Pro is normal? Me and a family member got the same model when the phone launched and my usage is bare minimum. The day I got my phone I set the charging limit to 80%. I have the optimized battery charging turned on, adaptive power on, background refresh turned off for all apps. I don’t have any of the power draining settings turned on including always on display things. Now I can’t say the same for my other family member. The most disappointing thing I found out was my cycle count in the battery was 25 as of now and my family members is 15. Like how? Besides turning on all these settings and my usage is bare minimum compared to theirs how is this possible? And also even with no usage at nights by turning off WiFi and turning on low power mode I see a significant battery drain like let’s say it goes form 51% to 39% when I check morning and this issue frustrates me. Apple did a battery test through remote and they said there seems to be no issue in hardware but this issue is bothering me. What could be the reason?

No any update from apple and team, shame on you apple and team, apple behind of Oneplus for software updates and security updates, I don’t like iPhone 17 due to battery draining very quickly, no network stability, crash every apps, no support of jio 5.5g/5GA, no support of backup calling. Apple is a looser for everything.

Hello,

New iPhone 17 owner here. The battery drain comparing to an old, loaded iPhone 14 is hilarious. iPhone 14 lasts longer than iPhone 17 with Baseus 6k mAh power bank attached 😂

Come on Apple 💁‍♂️

You need to define “longer”. If you charge overnight with Optimized Charging enabled the iPhone should not require charging before the next nightly charge unless you use it very heavily during the day. This is normal and expected.

The battery drain for a iPhone 17, which is about 100 times more powerful that an iPhone 14 with features like Apple Intelligence, which is not in an iPhone 14, will use more energy; that is simple physics. If it didn’t there would be something out of kilter with the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Of all of the billions of smartphones that have been bought over the past 15 years there has not been even one user who was satisfied with their battery performance. Maybe an exaggeration, but not much of one. 

I just bought my IPhone 17 promax on Oct. 24. I paid the full amount of $1,305.41.

It’s only been 6 days and I am beyond disappointed. It was suggested to have the battery optimally charged at 80% & restart charging at 20%. IPhone 17 promax is supposed to last for 36 hours. Mine does not even last for 16 hours. And I am just using the phone to text, google and check my email at this time.

For the price I paid for this phone, it’s not worth it. I am planning to return it in 14 days to the Apple store at the World Trade Center, NY.

Is Apple going to fix this problem?????

I have upgraded my phone with iPhone 17 pro just 2 weeks ago and now it’s battery dissipating me everyday. I used to charge my phone from 20% to 85%. From last couple of days I’ve noticed that the battery drain dramatically without doing anything. If go to sleep with 50% battery and the next day i can see only 30% left.

I don’t know what’s happening with such a premium phone like 17 pro. And what’s the solution?

I’m seeing the same issue. It’s been a week since I received the phone and updated it. Quick internet search indicates this is a common issue with the new phone. Would someone at apple be able to assist?

My apple 17 iPhone battery is terrible. Goes from 80% - 20% in a few

hours with little use. Pictures are difficult to send via text even on WiFi. How do I address this? I bought this 2

months ago and sorry I did.

upgraded from the 14 pro max to the 17 pro max…fully charged both last night and I’ve been doing exactly the same thing on both all day, 17 is about to run out and the 14 is still on 87%…I seriously wish I hadn’t upgraded now

I just purchased the iPhone 17 & it’s the battery life is the first thing I noticed. I am very disappointed with this phone & the battery life. I must charge it every night & Find My iPhone is the number one battery drain each morning. I have decided to just turn it off. I have researched this & tried everything, but nothing works. I am beyond frustrated. The phone is not cheap & I certainly expect better from Apple.
