It’s been more than a month since the iPhone 16 series smartphones have been on the market, but buyers seem to be complaining about battery drain. According to multiple posts on online channels such as Reddit, Apple Support forums, and other user forums, users were dissatisfied with the battery life of the new iPhones, which Apple claimed would last all day.
Even with the larger iPhone 16 Pro Max (Review), which has the largest battery Apple has ever put in an iPhone, many users are reporting excessive battery drain.
An iPhone 16 Pro Max user on Reddit said, “I just got my iPhone 16 Pro Max and noticed that the idle charge level is much worse than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It literally idles while I sleep. Within 3-4 hours, it loses about 15-20%. This is terrible compared to my iPhone 13 Pro Max, which only loses a few percent. Is there anyone who has it? Also, is it related to iOS 18? I hope so, because I don’t want my phone to have problems like this.”
Will the iPhone 16 pro max not last long?

Similarly, another disappointed iPhone 16 Pro user said, “I have an iPhone 16 Pro (Review) and the battery life is terrible, about 5-6 hours of screen time before it hits 20%. I’ve been using it for a week and nothing has changed.”
Most iPhone users are now hoping for a software update to fix these battery issues, but Apple has neither acknowledged the problem nor promised to provide a software update to fix it. .
innovative treatment
At this time, there is no concrete solution to resolve the battery life issue of the iPhone 16 series. However, for some users, deleting the Calendar app may resolve the issue, while for others, disabling features such as always-on display or ProMotion may resolve the issue. In fact, some users go so far as to completely reset their devices, but the results are less than encouraging. Again, these are some of the important features of your iPhone, and removing and disabling them is by no means a permanent fix.
Apple plans to release an iOS 18.1 update powered by Apple Intelligence by the end of October. Only time will tell if this update really helps improve battery life on the latest iPhones.
