iPhone 16 users complain about battery draining very quickly
The iPhone 16 is causing some headaches for some users, but not because of a failing screen or performance issues. This time, the biggest villain in this movie is the battery. Those who recently bought one of Apple's best new devices are complaining about the battery draining very quickly.
From Reddit support communities to Apple, users are flooding in with comments explaining how frustrated they are. And it’s not just iPhone 16 owners who are suffering: iOS 18 appears to be causing issues on older Apple phones, too.
Here's what someone says: "Yes, I have an iPhone 16 Pro and the battery drops from 100% to about 60% in the middle of the day without heavy use of my phone. It definitely needs to be fixed.
Another explains that, compared to his old iPhone, he now only gets between 50% and 60% of the usage time he had before, so the new iPhone's batteries drain faster than the old model.
The problem is that there is no magic solution. Some say disabling certain functions helps, others say the latest update fixes them... but the truth is, there is no consensus.
Apple, for its part, is tight-lipped, but experts believe there must be some software bug that's sucking up the battery. Hopefully, the upcoming iOS 18 update will come to the rescue.
