📱 @Apple I recently upgraded to the #iPhone17 and the battery drain issue is really disappointing. Even with normal use, the phone loses charge way too fast. For such a premium device, this shouldn’t be happening.
Please address this with a fix/update soon. 🔋⚡

I had iPhone 15 Plus I loved it because of its bigger screen It has 85% battery health even in this condition it was way much better than brand new iPhone 17.

Comparing this iPhone to my last iPhone as far as battery, my 16 plus puts this one to shame. I never once had to worry about even bring a charger with me it would last all day even playing games and using lots of apps, this phone can’t even handle half that before it’s almost dead. I even deleted apps before installing the backup so that definitely is not the problem. It’s weak, that’s the problem.
If you bought the phone from Apple, you have 14 days to return it if you're not happy with it.
My iPhone 12 lasted way better when new than my week old 17, and with the exact same setting i feel like the battery just isnt on par with what is advertised. The advice of turning off app refresh is in my opinion good for old phones with bad batteries but it shouldnt be relevant for a brand new iphone.
Well, it was common knowledge to at least the almost 600,000 users who have read this tip→When to charge your iPhone or iPad - Apple Community
But it is also explained in detail in the user’s manual.
I hope this helps you, i may have an 17 pro but everytime i overuse it, it regulates itself. Make sure to turn on adaptive power😉😉
Yeah, some social platform apps did drain the battery pretty fast in the background:/

I’ve had my new iPhone 17 Pro for about three weeks, and I’m noticing the battery drains really quickly even with minimal use. I live about two miles from a T-Mobile tower, and I’ve already gone through the settings to turn off background activity for my apps. For example, today I started at 100% around 6 AM, checked a little social media and email, mowed the lawn, took a couple of work calls, and by now I’m already down to 60%. My brightness is set to medium, so I’m not sure if the privacy screen could be affecting it, but something doesn’t seem right.
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.
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 💁♂️
iPhone 17 battery drains quickly with normal use
