I have the 15pro and can barely get 5 hours screen time from it. Worst battery in an iPhone for many years.

That’s definitely seems like a bug in software… or you got the worlds worst battery

iphone 16 will fix battery issues and ios18 will be bug free software we have ever made

i tried it for like 10 days recently and the worst part is that battery is ok. it's not outright bad to make the switch to other model simple and it's not great so you keep doubting the decision of getting pro instead of max

Not trying to be snarky, but are you sure there isn’t something wrong with your phone’s battery, or have you not updated iOS?

5 hours usually leaves me with 40-50% depending exactly on what I did that day.

What does your usage in those 5 hours comprise of?

I barely get 4 hrs before I reach 30%. This is just the news app, music (in background), and some messaging.

Yeah what’s going on. I use my 15 pro as the lightest possible use, the same way I used my 6S. Basic 3rd party Reddit app that’s all text, a couple of safari google searches, 20 photos. I even have promotion OFF (60hz) and AOD off. Indoors so way below max brightness.

2h 30 screen time used up 40% of my battery. That puts me at 6 hours with the most basic possible use. I see YouTube battery tests and they get 9 hours with heavy use, zoom calls, games, YouTube instagram etc. . I’m on 17.0.3.

You might want to do hard reset on your phone.

I think this trend isn’t terribly recent. My 13 Pro Max lasts dramatically longer than my partners 13 Pro. Both bought at the same time, and same battery health. For the last several years, it seems like the non-Max Pro has been the worst battery performer (aside from the Mini, of course).

14 pro was the worst for me, this one is about the same. Was a huge drop from the 13 and prior

I’m always so curious what people do on their phones for the Pro / Pro Max battery to not cut it…

I have a 13 Mini and with my current usage patterns can get over 8 hours on the regular…

Exactly what we’re doing now except for the whole day lol

Wow that’s insanely bad. That’s easily less than half as good as my 15+
