The iPhone 14 series has been on the market for less than a year, but some users are already reporting battery health issues. A growing number of people have noticed that their phone’s battery health is degrading faster than previous generations. In some cases, battery health has decreased by as much as 10%. This looks concerning, as it suggests that the iPhone 14’s battery may not last as long as previous models.
iPhone 14 Battery Degradation Issue
CreativeBloq first reported that many iPhone 14 users are taking to social media to complain about their battery health. Sam Kohl of Apple news outlet AppleTrack said that his iPhone 14 Pro’s battery health is now at 90% in less than a year, which he described as “unacceptable.”
Another user Andrew Clare also showed that his iPhone 14 Pro lost 10% of its battery health in almost a year, compared to 15% for his two-year-old iPhone 14 Pro. Replies to Sam’s and Andrew Clare’s posts tell a similar story, with many iPhone 14 users reporting rapid battery degradation. In contrast, older iPhones seem to be holding up much better.
There is no clear explanation for why iPhone 14 users are experiencing rapid battery degradation. It could be due to an individual’s usage pattern since some users use their device more rigorously and charge it more frequently. Another reason might be the climatic conditions since many countries have seen record-hot summers this year. However, not all iPhone 14 users are experiencing this issue. Some users have said that their iPhone 14 batteries are holding up better than their previous models.
This is not the first time that we have heard about battery problems with the iPhone 14. In May, we reported that many iPhone 14 Pro users, as well as iPhone 13 users, were reporting severe battery swelling issues. It seems that the number of unhappy customers is growing.
Apple has not yet commented on the matter. The iPhone 15 series is expected to be released next month, and many are hoping that it will provide an improvement.
