iphone 16 pro battery

[still acorn]

not sure if it’s the 16 pro or what cause i’ve seen multiple ppl have battery issues w this phone, but i feel like it drops like literally so fast with barely any apps running in the background and because it drops so fast i have to charge it more which gets me more cycles which takes down the over all health .. it went 93% and i got it in february so im not really sure if there is anything i can do cause i dont wanna have to be plugged in all day but it goes down even when im not using it so any solutions would be helpful

Under Settings > Battery > View all Battery Usage, what does it show? Can you share a screenshot?

Also Settings > Screen Time > See All App & Website Activity, can you share a screenshot there?

Then under Settings > Battery > Battery Health, what is the %?

i set my charge limit to 80 cause ppl told me it would help but why is my phone dropping to 20% after around 3 hours of using it..?

like what

[stuck jewel]

Looks like you have horrid cell service like me. That eats battery. So does screen brightness and haptics.

[still acorn]

cell service can cause battery to drop?

[stuck jewel]

I stopped the 80% cause I was tired of being forced to charge my 15 Pro cause it was down to 20% frequently.

[stuck jewel]

poor cell service, yes

[still acorn]

haptics as in like the clicks when u type and such

cause i’m mostly on silent mode

[stuck jewel]

Yes

[still acorn]

like where it silences the taps

any solution on what to do

[stuck jewel]

Does your phone vibrate at all? THat is haptics

oh

I learned recently from JimScard (don't want to ping him) that keeping your phone on the charger is actually better for the battery health. Takes longer for the battery cycles to tick up. So I put my phone to 100% and it lives on the charger pretty much these days.

Learned that this week

[still acorn]

that’s so annoying though to connect to the charger constantly

is it mainly with the pro phones cause all the pro max ppl say how wonderful theirs is

[stuck jewel]

I can see that.

Not sure I just have the 15 Pro cause the Pro Max is too big for my hands.

Could also be tiktok doing crazy things in the background or another app hanging out in the background when it shouldn't be.

[still acorn]

oh

[vale zinc]

TikTok is a massive battery hog, and I mean massive

[still acorn]

right cus why does an hour take 26%

[stuck jewel]

I use youtube shorts so I wouldn't know - explains it then.

[vale zinc]

same, Discord is also heavy on battery but TikTok is probably even worse, but then again I don’t use TikTok

[still acorn]

so basically the solution is charge all the time to loose less cycles

even when i’m at school it drops to like 50% from 80 lord

definitely gonna get a pro max next time i get a new phone

[stuck jewel]

Yeah or turn off the 80% limit and stop using TikTok
