Apple’s brand new iPhone 16 series might be suffering from a major issue related to its battery life. Users have come forward with complaints regarding their 2024 iPhones getting their batteries drained unusually fast even when left alone. Previously, iPhone 16 Pro users faced display freezing issues, so here’s everything you need to know regarding this new problem.
Why are the batteries of the iPhone 16 models dying so quickly?
Several users of the iPhone 16 series have started complaining about battery drain issues across Reddit, Apple Support Communities, and other forums (Via 91Mobiles). All of these point to the same problem, the new iPhones dying too soon. One user stated that his iPhone 16 Pro Max lost around 15 to 20 percent of battery life within a couple of hours despite being on idle. Others also faced an identical issue with their iPhone 16s, claiming that the battery percentage drains rapidly from full charge to 60 percent.
Such drain wouldn’t be too surprising if the phones were being used for intensive tasks like gaming and video recording. However, the issue with these complaints is most iPhones were completely idle. One user even said that his fully charged iPhone 16 went from fully charged and unused overnight to dropping to just 18 percent by morning. Funnily enough, one person put the iPhone 16 Pro through his own experiment, comparing it to the iPhone 14 Pro.
Despite the newer and older iPhone being kept in the same settings and going through the same use, the iPhone 14 Pro only dropped to 85 percent, while the iPhone 16 Pro was at 58 percent. This is a sizeable difference in battery efficiency. It seems like Apple’s iOS might be the reason behind these issues. So updating to the newest version could fix this problem. Users have even claimed that the iOS 18.0.1 update or iPhone 18.1 beta has helped solve this problem. Unfortunately, the specific reason is still unclear. So stick around for more updates.
