According to several user complaints, the iPhone 16 series may have some serious battery-related problems. It seems that the iPhone 16 battery drains too much even without much use. According to a report by MacRumors, this problem is not limited to the iPhone 16 alone, and older iPhones updated to iOS 18 may also have the same battery drain problem.

iPhone 16 battery drain problem

• The report highlights complaints made on Reddit, Apple Support Communities, and even the MacRumors forum, where iPhone users have reported similar battery problems.

• According to a user of the iPhone 16 Pro Max on Reddit, their device drains around 15-20 percent of battery within 3-4 hours of being idle. More users responded to the same Reddit post that the battery dropped quickly from 90-100 percent to less than 60 percent.

• Interestingly, users feel that the iPhone 16 Pro Max battery drains when the phone is kept idle.

• Another bizarre experience by a user claims that they left their iPhone 16 (model not named) fully charged overnight and did not use it, but the battery dropped to 18 percent in the morning.

• A user also experimented with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro while maintaining the same settings and usage. After 36 hours, the battery of the 14 Pro dropped to 85 percent, while that of the 16 Pro was down to 58 percent.

The reason behind the battery drain is not yet known, although new software updates are usually responsible for it. The iPhone 16 series comes with iOS 18 pre-installed, so there might be some underlying issue with the software update. According to some users, the iOS 18.0.1 update and iOS 18.1 beta have fixed the battery drain issue, but this is not officially confirmed yet.
