Battery problems on iPhone 16? Many users complain

Here is the text corrected and improved in terms of spelling and style:

Hundreds of users are posting on forums like Reddit or Apple’s support forum that they are experiencing battery issues on their new iPhone 16. Some are reporting that your battery drops about 10% per hour, even without using the device. At the time, battery issues were also detected with iOS 18, but Apple revealed a solution.

This solution was iOS 18.0.1, an update which corrected several problems, including one related to excessive battery consumption. Many of these users may not have updated to this version yet.

“I bought the iPhone 16 a week ago, and from the first charge cycle the battery lasts very little for a new phone, and that according to official data its battery lasts 22 hours of video use . Since I unplugged it at 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., I only have 15% battery left.”

What to do if your iPhone is consuming too much battery

This type of Battery problems are difficult to diagnosemainly because each user’s usage is unique and even varies from day to day. However, given the number of users affected, there appears to be a widespread problem.

Verify that you have iOS 18.0.1

Apple released this update to fix several issues before iOS 18.1 arrives. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and verify that this update is installed. The problem can be fixed by simply updating the system.

Find the problem

One of the first actions you can take is to go to Settings > Battery and swipe down. Here you will see the apps ranked according to their battery consumption on your iPhone. If you see apps that you don’t use regularly that are consuming a lot of battery, that’s the problem.

The solution is simple: delete these apps from iPhonethen restart the device and, if it’s apps you need, reinstall them.

Restore your iPhone

If the problem persists after these steps, consider restoring your iPhone to factory settings. This procedure generally improves battery life. First, make a backup copy to iCloud or your computer to avoid losing information.

Then you can restore the device from the iPhone itself, by going to Settings > General > Transfer or reset iPhone > Erase content and settings. Then restore your backup.

Install iOS 18.1 Beta

If none of this works, you can try installing the iOS 18.1 beta. It is a fairly stable version which will be officially released in two weeks and it might solve the battery problem.
