Apple iPhone 16 Series Users Report Battery Drain Issues Being Worse Than iPhone 13 Pro Max

A user who bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max wrote, “I just got the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I noticed the charge left while idle is way worse than my iPhone 13 Pro Max."

Apple launched the iPhone 16 series last month, but it seems like it hasn't been received well by the users. iPhone 16 series users have been complaining about several aspects of the handset, and now one of those issues has become a bit too noticeable. As per multiple posts on online channels like Reddit and Apple Suppert forums, users are unhappy with the battery backup of their new iPhones. Notably, Apple claimed that these iPhones would last for up to a whole day, but it seems like users are having contrary experiences. 

Several users have reported excess battery drain even on the iPhone 16 Pro Max which has the biggest battery ever to go into an iPhone.

Here's What iPhone 16 Users Have To Say

A user who bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max wrote in a post on Reddit, “I just got the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I noticed the charge left while idle is way worse than my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Literally, within like 3-4 hours of being idle while I sleep, it lost about 15-20 per cent, which compared to my iPhone 13 Pro Max is abysmal because it loses only a few percentage points. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue, and is it related to iOS 18? I really hope so because I don’t want the phone to have problems like this.”

Another user who bought iPhone 16 Pro wrote, “I have the iPhone 16 Pro, and the battery is terrible – lasts about 5-6 hours of on-screen time before hitting 20 per cent. It’s been a week of use, and nothing changed.”

Many iPhone users are currently hoping for a software update to resolve these battery issues, but Apple has yet to acknowledge the problem or commit to releasing an update that might address it.

Is There A Way To Fix This?

Currently, there is no definitive fix for the battery issues affecting the iPhone 16 series. Some users have found that deleting the calendar app or disabling key features like always-on display and ProMotion has helped improve battery life.

Others have resorted to fully resetting their devices, though this hasn't shown consistent results. Since these are important features, turning them off isn’t seen as a long-term solution.

Apple is anticipated to roll out the iOS 18.1 update, featuring improvements from Apple Intelligence, by the end of October. Whether this update will effectively address the battery concerns remains to be seen.
