iPhone 16 Pro battery drain disaster, culprit suddenly revealed

Many iPhone 16 pro users reported that their batteries were abnormally damaged after updating to iOS 18.

Although Apple confidently advertises that the iPhone 16 Pro has a battery life that is 4 hours better than its predecessor, the 15 Pro, many users are complaining about the unusual battery drain of the device. Notably, many people believe that the cause may come from the iOS 18 update.

Severe battery drain

According to a report from MacRumors, many owners of the brand new iPhone 16 Pro are facing a battery situation that is not as expected. Specifically, one user shared that even without connecting the Apple Watch, his phone still dropped from 70% to 59% after just 4 hours and 20 minutes of sleep. Another case said the battery dropped from 100% to 60% after only half a day of normal use. Some people even reported that the phone drained battery at a rate of 1% every 5 minutes even when in standby mode.

Compared with the previous generation

A notable comparison was made between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro with the same usage for 36 hours. The results:

- iPhone 16 Pro: Battery remaining 58%

- iPhone 14 Pro: Battery up to 85%

Questions about the "culprit" iOS 18

Based on user feedback, many experts believe that the problem may lie with the iOS 18 operating system. Although Apple has released the iOS 18.0.1 update to fix the problem, the unusual battery drain problem seems to have not been completely resolved.

Particularly worrying is the phenomenon of "self-draining battery" when not in use - many users report that their phones lose 10-15% of their battery overnight without any activity.

This situation is frustrating for many users, especially considering the high price of the iPhone 16 Pro and the promise of superior battery life from Apple. Users are now waiting for an official response from Apple and an update that actually works to address this issue.
