📱 @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. 🔋⚡

My battery drains without using.
When I kept 40 before sleep and in morning it will in 20 percent. I’m very disappointed
My 16pro lasts 3 hours!!!!
What did the tech at the Apple Store / Genius Bar say when you took the phone in to be checked and tested?
Agree. Horrible battery usage on the 17. Goes from 80% to 20% in a few hours without use. Is there a cell phone “lemon law”?
I went from 15 pro max to 17 pro and I am LIVID. They don't want to offer me to return it. Just sending me to a service center.

The insane battery drain is happening not just on my old iPhone 17 but ALSO ON THE REPLACED UNIT FROM APPLE, I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!
SHOULD I RETURN IT?
I am very disappointed. I have traded my iPhone 15 Pro Max in which has had a ways better battery life than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. After Apple had promised an improved battery for the new iPhone 17.
Did you buy the phone directly from Apple?
There are two ways to extend battery life: Set an 80% limit, or charge overnight, every night with Optimized Charging enabled. The reason to use either one is leaving any LiIon battery at 100% charge for a period of time will cause faster degradation. That’s why electric vehicles say to charge no higher than 80% except in preparation for a long trip. This has nothing to do with how frequently you need to charge; it is about the long term life of the battery. Batteries lose some capacity each time they are discharged then charged; once the capacity drops below 80% operation will become erratic, and the battery should be replaced.
