iPhone 15 Pro Battery drain on iphone 15 Pro help

[xxBlack]

Like I said before checked battery stats. Got the pro Friday morning and still Monday night I had 1h background usage from iMessage and photos (while charging but don’t know if they do something during the day too)

Your phone could still be indexing files and that could account for the slightly extra overnight battery drain.

I wasn't articulate when I wrote location and notifications settings.

What I specifically meant is, go through your notification settings AND go through your location settings to make sure they are set up the same way as before you got the new phone.

I know when I updated to iOS17 there were some changes. Meaning some notifications were automatically turned on and some location and privacy settings were also turned on.

I will follow your advise, thank you

5% of drain overnight is nothing and I would consider that normal on a modern phone. A lot of stuff happening in the background.

That said, I'm quite disappointed with the 15PM battery so far, but I feel that with every charge/discharge cycle it's getting somewhat better. I'll wait 2 weeks before falling my verdict.

But when I had the 14PM, when I left my phone overnight in the same room I leave my 15 Pro, I only had at max 2% battery drain.

I am hearing people say that they are disappointed with the 15PM battery which is surprising tbh. I thought it would be even better than the 14PM.

You were lucky then, I never managed to have an overnight drain of only 2% ... but it can depend on so many factors, 2% or 5% is negligible. I think you shouldn't focus on that, but on how it performs during daytime usage, when you actually use it.

If you are near an Apple store, I would still take it there and ask them about the drain. They may say it's normal, or not, but at least you would have an answer from the phone's maker and a record.

… and they tell the truth LOL

My 15 Pro experienced about 10% drain overnight and I could watch the percentage tick down during the day on a clean iPhone without any apps. Your complaint is on par with many others, and I just sent my phone back for a retail swap. I’m hoping it’s software since the issue seems to be decently widespread enough, with even some iPhone 14 and 13 users reporting significant hits to battery as well.

Those having unusually high battery drain. Do you also happen to own an Apple Watch?

I have the original Ultra running 10.0.1.

Interesting question, curious to see where this might go.

So I am one of those having battery drain (or excessive battery usage) on my 15 Pro Max. I spent some time excluding variables that could be triggering that.

Well, I disabled my second SIM card (I usually run on dual SIM, a private and a work SIM). And... the drain is gone. Just gone. I'm having a battery usage of about 10% for every hour of SOT. Before it was about twice that amount.

Of course YMMV, not everyone uses dual SIM. Also, I've never had issues with dual SIM before on my 14PM, so no clue why it suddenly is a problem. But disabling it solved my issue - for now.

It's not "solved solved" because, well, I need dual SIM. So I will think about how to deal with that.

I do! And I also have battery drain on the Apple Watch Ultra 😂 ever since installing watchOS 10 (which was before I got my 15PM). I'm not really lucky with batteries.

I ask as I’ve tried everything on the watch and yesterday disabled WiFi and Bluetooth on the watch only.

My watch and phone are now back to normal battery life.

Today, turned all back on and it’s back to running out. These two are having some crazy ass conversations in secret and sucking the battery as they do.

iPhone standby time hasn’t been good since iOS 11, even on original iOS versions. 5% overnight is normal, sadly. To get something better you’d have to go back to an iPhone 6s or 7 on iOS 10.

The new device you got, is the same thing happening or is there an improvement? I might send mine back for a replacement as well, but if your new device is having the same issues, it could be software related like you said so no point returning the phone for a replacement.

Try the 17.1 Beta. My battery life improved significantly
