The iPhone 14 Pro models are actually great phones, it’s just there battery is absolutely pathetic. Thank you so much for this useful video
I find it weird really because when I first got this phone it had great battery life but as months went by it started to die faster all the sudden
Sameee
Same with mine and 11 months later it’s at 98% maximum capacity battery health wise.
I upgraded from the 11 pro to 14 pro max a month ago, because I couldn't handle the battery drainage anymore. But the battery life of the 14pro max is not as I expected. I'm not on my phone all the time really, pretty basic user, but I still have to charge the phone daily. It is a slight improvement in days where I shoot a lot of videos outside, but it's just disappointing because of the days with average usage. I'm also pretty disappointed with the screen brightness. When I'm outside I don't see much better than I used on the 11 pro; and when I want to increase brightness it's already on 100%. There are also other issues beside battery and brightness, makes me feel like all these reviewers ain't being honest.
You have to enable auto-brigtness in order to get 2000 nits outside. Since I turned it on I have no issues seeing the screen, even in direct sunlight.
Same
Turned off AOD, turned off haptic, have 2 apps on in background refresh - the phone continues to lose battery faster than my 13 pro max. I never once worried about or needed to charge that phone in the middle of the day, I can;t trust this one at all to survice. What is a fair expectation of battery life? I work from home full time, the phone is always connected to wifi but even at night - if I take it off the charger it loses 4-5% of battery just sitting there doing nothing. 16.0.2 loaded, 2 weeks since purchase - I don't think this is right.
I have the same issue and it starts to worry me
Same
Same wtf
Also turn auto or off your 5G it might help✌
Btw restart your iphone at least once a week.
I have the always on display “off” for the most part. I turn it on when I feel the need to be glancing at the phone in some situations. Since I went from the iPhone 11 Pro Max to this iPhone 14 pro max, I am in and out of setting more than I ever have been in the past! I miss the 11 pro max battery compared to this phone, but still prefer this phone with the upgrades that it has. Also understanding that this phone still out does the competition’s battery time between charges. Thanks for the great review!
Awesome fixes Michael, my battery drained from 70% too 35% in 2 hours yesterday, changed settings as recommended and hoping to notice a huge change today. Thank you so very much!
Same mine too draining very fast
WTF I have it a year its battery capacity 100%
Its weird when I see people commenting that the battery capacity is dropping.
I only use Facebook and Instagram TH-cam etc.
Also one thing If a person who plays game on the any iphone for 1hr or 30min or 2hrs or any min or hour every day
Iphone will not suit you because your battery will be down.
I cannot belive it whenn people are saying the battery capacity is less than 100.
If you take care of the Iphone 14 Pro Max it will last for more than 1 year at least because I am using 1 year now.
@@AzadAbdullah-el8doI don’t think they mean battery capacity, I think they literally mean the battery percent is going 40% down
mine too idk why battery capacity is at 100%
I just got the iPhone 14pro and I see my battery going down faster than I expected so I am glad I found you how to fix what I can. Thank you so much. The date is 4/22/23. Don’t know what iOS I have.
what did you do?
You can easily just set a black background on the always-on display. Just set a color instead of a wallpaper, it’s available in the customization options that appear when you tap and hold the Lock Screen.
set a color as the wallpaper, or for the always on display only?
My new 14 pro max doesn't turn on the screen when I receive notifications. I also can't even change the wallpaper from lock screen. Any help
Faced the same situation bro , my battery went down to 95% in a week . I am so scared now . 😢 well I followed what you advised let’s see the outcomes .
My iphone 14 pro max
7 months old 91% batt percentage
@@shaneshariel3668you meant battery health instead.
I think it’s how both of you charge it that’s why both of yours has decreased less than a year later.
Agreed on the auto brightness issue. I’ll pull my phone out and it will already be super bright. Second, apple should give us a setting where we can set our max brightness threshold.
high brightness is because of the lider sensors
I’ve had my 14 pro max since the day iOS 16.0.2 dropped so that is what I have had since I have owned my iPhone. My battery life has been very good.
Yes Ive noticed the ridiculously aggressive auto brightness in combination with the AOD.
AOD doesn’t take much battery I tested it. In 4 hours from 100% I went down to 99% in 9 hours from 99% to 96%.
Auto brightness can get you 2,000 nitts of brightness in sunlight that would take extra battery.
@@Truth_Seeker1 Both valid points. My specific glitch-like behaviour was when my phone would be in my bag, face against (but not flat - as that would turn off AOD) the side wall of the bag and the AOD brightness was definitely at the 2000nit peak - utterly blinding in a dark bag - as im reaching into the bag.
Proximity sensor/ Ambient Light sensors not working as designed? Simple fix was turn off AOD and have had great battery since. I think there are just some unusual residual bugs with the AOD in very specific edge cases more than anything.
Also the AOD is very distracting whether people choose to admit it or not - also most people are conditioned to not place devices face down on tables so it’s a de-facto subconscious desk productivity /attention killer. I’m sure many android users choose to turn this off too even though their AODs are much more barebones usually - generally greyscale b/w.
I’m on 16.5 and the battery still drains pretty fast
I was losing about 7-10% battery every hour, idle. With the new 16.0.2 update I haven’t lost 1% over 3 hours of idle. Funny they didn’t want to admit there was a battery drain fix in there, but I’m certain there was.
which iphone do you have?
@@arslanender 14 Pro
Mines the opposite .. update killed my 14 pro
mine the opposite too, the battery drain so fast(idle)
Same guys..
Thanks for the video. Actually, I never use the auto brightness feature. I’ve always been told to turn it off and adjust your brightness manually so that you always have control how bright or dim your phone is. Also, you can reduce the whiteness factor in the display settings which will also conserve battery life.
I also never use the feature. It annoys me when my phone thinks it knows what I want more than I do🤣
I turn off “always display on” after experiencing battery drain on my first day using 14Pro. I never have battery issues on any of previous iPhone. 14Pro definitely need an update.
How did it go?
Left the AOD on while I slept for 7 hours and it used 2% battery
Idk why people are complaining it drains battery I get the same results phone was at 80% woke up it was 78% aod is just fine
It’s still a pointless feature.
@@davidjacobs6244 How is it POINTLESS?? 🤔
While you sleep the always on display cuts out after the phone realises it hasn’t been used for a while, so out of them 7 hours maybe 1-2 hours the always on display was active
Setup focus sleep mode and the AOD turns off completely when this mode activates.
I unplug at 0530 hours. I go to bed around 2200 hours. If my phone can't last that duration, I am not happy. So, at first my iphone 14 pro was only getting about 4 hrs SOT. I turned off AOD and limited my screen to 60 htz. Also turned off background email fetch and app refresh. Now I get 6 to 6.5 hrs SOT. But I don't feel I had to dumb down my brand new iPhone 14 pro, to get the same battery as my iPhone 13 got, with a smaller battery and same settings. And honestly the pro isn't even all that great. I may just pay it off sooner than I wanted to trade in for the 14 plus. Same chip as the 13, lower quality camera too, but the battery should be much better and thats my number 1.
The auto brightness was hurting my eyes. I’m coming from the iPhone 11 Pro Max. I had to actually go into accessibility, and display and actually turn on reduce white point. I put it on about 48% and that helped alot.
As a mentioned wanted feature in the video you can actually just have the AOD show your clock and widgets! It’s removes the wallpaper completely and looks really good. You enable this by going to your focus modes and choose options then “Dim Lock Screen” do this for all of your focus modes or just one, either way you get just the clock and your widgets. Looks good as well. Please note though the AOD always turns off completely and automatically when the sleep focus activates.
Thanks for letting us know about this, I’ve seen several suggestions for this but no one else has mentioned it! Very helpful!

I bought my iPhone 14 pro yesterday at Apple and battery drains so fast like it goes from 100% to 80% in 30 minutes
So what you’re telling me is to just keep my 13 Pro Max ?
Yea my new iPhone 14 pro battery drained fast 🤦♂️
Apologies… half of the content is just about turning of AOD and the next tip is to switch to low power mode which disables adaptive display (1hz - 120hz feature). I agree to turn off aod but not with switching to low pmode. Turning off background app refresh is good…
I've had my Pro for 2 days and it's horrible at power management. Doing about all of the above. We'll see how it goes. Also, as I was making dinner it was sitting idle and when I came back to it it was hot as hell! I've got the 16.0.2 update installed so I hope it's better in .3 or whatever iteration that comes out next. Oh, and I did turn off the always on display the minute I got the phone so that was never the reason for the battery drain for me.
Did it help?
I’m in the same situation, just got the phone ..
@@ii1NsaNeI remember I once accidentally started recording and then put my phone in my pocket, after about 20 min I took my phone out and it was SO HOT. Also I’m running IOS version 16.5.1 and I have an immens3 battery drain issue.
O have done those things and my 14 pro battery performance remains unsatisfactory. I expected a full day battery life, but actually is a half day battery life.
Im on 16.3.1 rn with my 14pro and i didnt have any battery drain problems but my battery somehow got so much better
Hi Michael, I have updated all your suggestions, my battery on my iPhone 14 pro has dramatically dropped from the 13 pro. Just had an update which is 16.0.3 so I will see how this goes. Thanks for the video
I've come from 13 base model, I'm very dissapointed with 14 pro battery. Battery % drops even with AOD turned off. I reinstalled software vía Itunes (IPSW) and problem persists. I think all of us have this issue.
I have a 14 pro too and the battery drains fast. I thought my phone had a problem with the battery
I have same problem as you guys with my battery. Also I dont get results as in testing videos (8h+) max 6h screentime on my 14 pro.
@@amenixrusht7428 were you able to find the solution?
@@bertrandyangni9862 Now it has been updated to 16.1.2 does the battery still drain fast and are u a heavy user? I’m considering investing in the pro but I’m worried about the battery life
I have applied to return my iPhone 14 pro to the seller, I said battery is draining too fast
I can latterly see the battery counting in front of me like 1% each 5m, and it go crazy when I open a camera in Google meet.
What phone did you get
I'm taking your advice and turning off the always on display. In regards to the aggressive auto brightness, I've found this a problem going back to iPhone 12 Pro Max. So I've been adjusting downward the display brightness for a few years now.
I did all those things and more, I even removed all my widgets and my iPhone 14 pro is still experiencing battery drain.
Same
Is it still a problem with 16.1.2 update
Battery drain is really bad and my 14 max was almost dead at the end on the day with not much use. Turned off always on and has 60% left under the same conditions.
Yeeeessss!!! Same!
My iPhone 14 pro lost 8% overnight isk I’d that’s normal or bad
Thank you sir. I just upgrade to 17.3.1 on my 14Pro. But when charging it shows 100% battery charged. Then I disconnect the charging cable then few minutes later my phone would shut down by itself then when I reboot (with the charging cable connected) it only shows about 11% charged level. So frustrating since I was not having any issues whatsoever before updating to 17.3.1. I hope they'll fix this.
Weird how people are having trouble with battery. Not on my iPhone 14 pro… I charge it to 80-90% every time and it lasts me a whole day… never let it go down 15% tbh.
I turned off haptic feedback and it made my battery way better
how do u do that
I always had the max models but felt like going for the more pocketable Pro model this time and love this size ....But gotta say I'm rather unhappy with my battery life....Nevertheless love my AOD so it's gonna stay on.
BTW putting your phone face down will automatically turn off the display, so that may also be a useful trick when needed.
A charger exists
@@ttdarksy331 I already traded in the pro for the pro max and am really happy with the 2 days plus battery life
I don’t think AOD is the problem.😊
I bought the iphone 14 pro. My old iphone is 7 plus. It was good but I use the iphone 7 plus as a work phone. Calls and IMs. I had to replace the batt. But since I use it heavily for work it drains the battery a lot. I turned off the background refresh on my old phone and turned it off on my 14 pro. The phone lasts long for almost 2 days with moderate use.
Extremely disappointed from my iPhone 14 Pro‘s battery life since the last iOS update.It’s currently so bad that it drains more battery when I don’t use the phone than when I actually use it.I have for real tried everything and it doesn’t seem to get better://////
Always on display is the only reason i purchased this damn crappy phone :((
The new iOS 16.0.2 didn’t fix any battery draining issues. Hopefully next iOS
bro iphone 14 pro max battery is 4323 mAh and 13 pro max 4,352 mAh apple Scamed us 😥
16.02 fixed battery on my 13PM from 6 hours to 7/30-8 hours battery life.
@@ishanishkc214 bigger mah doesn’t mean better 😂 look at Samsung they have a bigger battery but can’t compete
@@gerralld5211 what are you smoking? My s21 ultra battery was way better than my 13 pro max
@@TheIamdevin not in my experience the s21 is literally the worst battery life in a phone I’ve ever had
They added customisation to AOD!
I get 4.5 hrs screen on time on my Pro. This is bullshit
There’s no way I’m turning off the keyboard’s haptic feedback. I love everything haptic. Do better apple!
Also, do you guys use the 30 auto lock? I set mine there as the default seemed to be 5 minutes. Good God!
turned off the always on display first day itself when I got iPhone in my hand
Siri & Search settings. Turn it all off. I had 9+ hours of screen on time before I hit 20%
I left home at 5.30 with 79%, it’s currently 7.34 and I’m already on 55% this can’t be normal????
I got exactly the same experience :((
@@DDArmy ios 16.1.2 does the battery still drain fast or did it get fixed?
Love how the Wifi is: Mom use this one”😂
Never understood why they made the always on display show the entire screen. Just show me the time and whatever widgets I have on my screen. My 13 PM went 2 days with same usage and had battery power to spare, while the 14 PM barely makes it through 1.5 days. I’m also having lagging issues which seem to creep up daily.
You’re also having lagging issues daily with your 14 pro max only. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Mine (14 pro) barely makes it to 34 hours compared to when I first purchased it 11 months ago it went at least 2 days.
If you don’t want to see your wallpaper with AOD on, just use a plain black wallpaper.
iPhone 14 Pro Max is terrible. So bad I had to return it. Compared to 13 pro max
Turn off this and turn off that!! What’s the point having all those new features then?? In that case no point getting the latest phone 😂
I upgraded from iphone 11 to iphone 14 pro max mainly because of battery. But i am not getting the battery i expected based on the reviews. It’s still draining sooo fast 😢really disappointed
And now ?
My AOD is turned off and I can’t make it a full day. I’m on 30% by 2PM my 13 pro max lasted a full day no problem - I don’t consider myself a heavy user and I know it’s not me because my 13 lasted just fine
Congrats you’ve been selected for the giveaway send a Dm....
I feel the same Bro. Before ios16 anything was fine. Now I can only survive half of a day with one charge
I have the iPhone 14 pro max with always on display on and the haptics on as well and I get up at 4am and go to bed at 10pm and by that time I still have between 40-50% of my battery lift on my iPhone so that about the pro max have a bad battery no and my girlfriend as the 14 pro and she dose not complain about her battery it last her all day so I think it down to how you use your 14 pro or pro max if your battery is not lasting you all day
Update 16.1 and I still have battery drain issues goddammit
ios 16.1.2 does the battery still drain fast?
@@edan02 unfortunately yes for me, I think battery fixed will only come in 16.2 which isn’t until mid of the month
@@noblacksuit21 do u use low power mode and have aod off?
@@edan02 aod is turned off. I don’t use low power mode.
@@noblacksuit21 try using it for a day and trust me you’ll find a difference
Yes, but you shouldn’t need to do all that. That’s the all point.
For the always on display I feel like Apple should just show the time, widget and a very basic version of notifications
Excuse me? I want to ask that why my iphone 14 pro max battery increases when I turn it off and on? 🥺
My phone overheats while using GPS and I have low battery mode and dark mode enabled. It also feels extremely hot when trying to charge.
Hello Lisa, I have the same issue and I just got my phone last week! Not sure what to do!
I love always on display. It’s not like the android. I’ll suffer some of my battery but I want this luxury!
I took of always on display and it helps ALOT ,that eats a lot of battery in background

Genuinely asking people in the comments, are you facing this much battery drain as I am?
Hi ,,,my new iphone 14plus battery down ready then now how to solve
great content got benefict to the apple user 😊
But I haven’t been using my 14 pro max I have all default setting from factory reset and I keep it in my pock pretty much all day. I’m so confuse, still in talk with apple since I’ve had this iPhone from 3 months ago.
Followed all of your suggestions
Congrats you’ve been selected for the giveaway send a Dm....
I just got the iphone 14 pro max have had it for like 4 days but now it only charges to 80% bc the phone overheats?? So like whats going on
My test showed AOD took 1% battery in 4 hours and in 9 hours it was 6%. 16.02 fixed battery on my 13PM from 6 hours to 7/30-8 hours battery life.
Mine started draining fast yesterday, 6 hour battery life. it was fine since release date. No settings were changed.
I got my new phone a week ago. Immediatly turned the AOD off, and I have black mode always, plus I always dim the brightness and use low power mode. I don’t use power banks anymore and the battery on this new phone is worse than my 11 pro that I have had for YEARS. Wtf Apple this is a 2000€ phone ???
(I’m on 16.1.2, just downloading 16.2!, hope it helps…)
Same
I think this iPhone 14 pro is a no-go and should be skipped.
Background of wallpaper is completely black of whatever subject is in front if the clock when you don’t have the always on display on and you turn the screen off and it looks so bad. Almost like a glitch.
My 14 pro gets 8 and a half of screen time
The battery drain issue is not fixed. And I’m trying it out with turning off the always on display. Let’s see if it does something. Also the brightness isn’t an issue.
Did it fix it
Seems like it’s a little better. I left my house today at 11am with 92%. Now it’s 3pm. Been using my phone for work. And I’m at 74%
Do u use low power mode? also the 16.1.2 update how did it go for u? does the battery still drain fast
Thank you for this video, letting me know why my iPhone 14 pro max is losing energy so fast.
Same after you turn off the always in display did it still lose power
@@victorlebon4502 Ya still fast I think it’s the CPU’s problem
I don’t understand why they market the iPhone 14 Pro as having a 23 hour battery life… But then have all these battery drain issues? Was that number determined with factory settings? Or only after optimizing settings to account for battery drain?
It can last for three days if u dont charge it because I have it and I use it.
turned AOD off. coming from Pixel, I was used to turning my phone facedown.
You are incorrect on the battery size difference between the 14pro and 13pro. The 14pro has an increase of 200mah.
I turned the always on display off Because it was draining my battery on my 14 pro And I just tap the screen to wake anyway so I don’t need it on
When I’m not using my 14 pro I put it in low power mode to save battery
Crazy cause my iPhone 14 Pro Max dropped to 94%
And I had it since it came out
Always at 100% maximum capacity
And ever since the latest iOS update
It dropped to 94%
I checked two days ago and it was at 96%
It’s dropping and idk why
Thank fir advices i do it let see😊
Im losing 3% overnyt which does not happen to my 13 pro max
The first thing I did when I got the 14pro was turn off the always on display it’s not normal
Mine was dropping 1% in 5 mins and i just updated it to 16.2 now its been more than half hour not even one percent has been dropped
Battery timing in iphone 14 promax was told 27 hours but in actual battery drops very soon.
Very disappointing
Apple are going backwards with the battery size on the Pro Max when they should be going forwards.It doesn’t make sense 🤷♂️
The AOD in my Samsung, the settings is Tap to Show only. Thats what apple should have.
Im planning to buy iphone14pro but I will just turn it off
Same here. With these reports I'm not gonna buy it
I just bought my Iphone 14 2 days ago. First day the battery works so efficiently. But after that, I notice that without using my phone it seems like something is wrong because it felt warm when I touch it, and last night before I sleep i charge my phone and unplugged it when its 100% and the today when I woke up my battery only left 65% without turning on the always on display feature. Damn this IOS 16 is killing the battery. What should I do now before I think best to go visit the Apple service centre?
any news please? Im considerings getting 14 pro too...
Turned always display off. Turned display brightness down
Awesome! thanks
Michael .. a good video
Congrats you’ve been selected for the giveaway send a Dm....
I haven’t had this issue.
In my ip14 pro max had 65% at 11 am now 1:28 pm same day battery drain to 15%🥵
I was considering buying that phone as well. I'm happy I saved 1430€
That phone is with out a doubt the BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT I'VE EVER BOUGHT!!!
How’s your iPhone 14 Pro (May 2023)
Is the battery life okay? Should I update to 16.4.1?
Idk if its just me, sometimes I my battery lasted somewhere about 6 hours and then sometimes about 4 and half
the battery drains like its a downloading time ... like literally so fast its really bad compared to the 13 pro max
