iPhone 13 Pro Battery Dropping iPhone 13 pro

I’m at around 3h SOT a day using 45% of battery a day (always 4G). 13P should make around 7 hours SOT using 100% of the battery according to YouTube testing videos so it sounds about right. Yours seems a little worse but depends on which app you are using. 8h is only attainable with the max, or maybe with the pro with dark mode Wi-Fi and browsing
I have the 13 pro max and my battery is not nearly as good as advertised. Lost 16% overnight.
Glad to see I am not the only one, hopefully 15.1 fixes our issues. I am fine with 8 hours of usage before it dies but my Xs max had 6 so not a big difference so far for me.
Yeah I’m hoping for the same. I even did a factory reset today without restoring from iCloud but it still doesn’t look that good
It looks like my overnight drain was a smidge better on 15.0.1. Here are Thursday and Friday before and after:
I’m going to see how long I can use my phone today before I have to charge it so I can get a total screen on time value.
It’s safe to say though, that after a week with the 13 Pro after setting it up as new, I’m not wowed by the battery as many seem to be; in fact it seems to really be struggling. Getting approximately 4hr of screen on time and 8-10% battery drain overnight doing “nothing”.

If u use icloud, have a ton of apps or any of the background app refresh you wont see some of the quoted things. But if you stream or play video see if you can get an hr of usage and dropping 10-12 % or less. if so I think you are good.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but you too off charge at about 4-5pm and at 6am the next day you had about 75% left..? What’s the issue?
Yeah but half of that is when no usage (When asleep). I’m seeing a similar pattern. Not too impressed
I'm having the same issue with my 13 Pro. Seems to drain up to 20% overnight even with all apps closed. Really annoying.
Yeah man it really is especially knowing that these phones do have great battery life cause everyone else is. Can’t wait for a software update
Yeah, I hope it's as simple as that. iOS 15 seems to be struggling out of the gate lol. 15.0.1 didn't seem to change anything for me either. 15.1 maybe??
Man I wonder if that is the issue. I have Esim too for the first time ever. I don't know man im trying to figure out why this is happening, could it be that?

I’ve got a normal sim and experience same drop. Was going to exchange phone but do younthink it’s more software. Seen no other complaints anywhere.
My hunch is that it's software. Apparently a lot of people last year had similar issues with the 12s. Assuming that got fixed with later releases of iOS 14.
My thought is if we keep the phone just ticking along doing not a lot, most iPhones will show similar drainage (although some report only a few percent overnight) whereas I assume the pro will excel with real actual power use - intense camera, gaming, streaming etc. that’s my thoughts anyhow.
I had battery problems so I set it up as new and manually did everything. Massive difference now. Still have 46% after starting at 6am.
I was having bad battery life too. My phone ended up dying during an IPWS update through my Mac. Apple gave me a new phone, it’s early but so far I can tell the battery life on the new phone is much better. Anyway I’m not sure if it can be fixed via software but I thought I’d give a data point for the rest of you.
I suggest either return or replace you 13PM while you can. IOS 15.1+ will fix nothing. My 11PM works 12 hours straight with with video messaging, apps, pics sharing, international calling cia various apps, you name it. By the end of the day I have 15% battery left. By the way it works excellent with Ios 15.1.
