Description:
The iPhone 16 line is seemingly exhibiting unusually fast battery drain for a number of users.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youve noticed excessive battery drain from your iPhone lately then youre not alone. There are numerous reports of this issue across the internet, with the vast majority of complaints relating to phones in the iPhone 16 family on iOS 18 .

As spotted by MacRumors , there are lengthy threads on Reddit , the Apple Support Community , and elsewhere complaining about massive battery drain, in many cases even when the phone is in standby.

Most reports seem to relate to the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max , but the standard iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus are also mentioned.

Some users have additionally claimed that iOS 18.0.1 or the iOS 18.1 beta
have improved matters, but not everyone has found these updates have solved their issues.

So, its possible that one of these updates will fix things for you, but if not, you might be waiting a while for a fix, especially as Apple hasnt even acknowledged the issue yet. That said, its not clear how widespread this particular problem actually is, and if youre not already experiencing unusual battery drain on an iPhone 16 model running iOS 18, then youre probably safe.

But what to do if your battery is draining fast? For now, you could try turning off the always-on display feature, disabling ProMotion, turning off background app refresh, or getting rid of widgets.

All of these features drain battery, so disabling them would naturally help improve matters, but thats not ideal, since its also limiting what your phone can do.

Its also possible that factory resetting your phone will help, with some
users saying as much, but others havent been so lucky.

If that doesnt help, then youll probably have to wait for a patch to fix it properly. So, hopefully well see one soon. You might also like Best iPhone : which Apple smartphone reigns supreme? An upcoming iPhone feature will make
