So I just got the iPhone 16 Pro last week and honestly the battery life has been a big let down. I was expecting it to last all day, but mine is dropping way too fast. I’ll charge it to 100% overnight, take it off the charger in the morning, and by like 2–3pm it’s already down near 40% and that’s with pretty normal stuff like scrolling Instagram, a couple WhatsApp calls, checking emails. I’m not even gaming or doing anything heavy.
I’ve tried turning off background refresh, lowered brightness, even turned off location for a bunch of apps, but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. Now I’m wondering if this is just how the 16 Pro is, or if I maybe got a bad unit.
Is anyone else having the same battery drain issues with their iPhone 16 Pro? Did you manage to fix it or is this something I should take to Apple?
Hello, my iPhone 16 Pro is not lasting at all. I charged it to 79% this morning and after light use like texting, checking email, and a short FaceTime call, it was already at 18% within about 3.5 hours. I also noticed that after charging back to 80%, it fell to 72% in less than 40 minutes. Is this just my device or a common issue with the 16 Pro series? Please share if you’ve found any working solution.
