One user who experienced this issue mentioned that they bought the smartphone when it was first released, and currently, it has only 87 percent battery health remaining.
Another affected user claims that their iPhone 14 Pro, which is just eight months old, has already suffered an eleven percent decline in battery health. They further emphasize that they have never encountered such rapid battery degradation before.
“@AppleSupport iPhone 14 Pro Max bought at launch only has 87% of battery health left. The worst of all my iPhones I had in 11 years as an iPhone user,” said one user.
“iPhone 14 Pro’s battery health is decreasing really fast. It’s just over 8 months. Other models have never come down this fast,” another user wrote.
There are even people who report that this is the most unsatisfactory iPhone model they have owned in many years.
When comparing Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro to the iPhone 13 Pro, it is undoubtedly a significant upgrade in terms of camera quality, display resolution, and performance.
Tips to help preserve the battery life of your iPhone 14 Pro Max
Optimize Display Settings: Adjust the brightness level of your screen or enable auto-brightness to conserve battery power. Additionally, consider reducing the screen timeout duration to minimize unnecessary power consumption.
Use Wi-Fi When Available: When possible, connect to a Wi-Fi network instead of relying on cellular data. Wi-Fi generally consumes less power than cellular data, which helps preserve battery life.
Disable Background App Refresh: Limit or disable the background refresh feature for apps that don’t require constant updates. This prevents apps from refreshing in the background and draining battery power.
Manage Push Email: Switch to fetch or manual refresh mode in your email app to conserve battery life by avoiding constant email checks.
Enable Low Power Mode: Activate Low Power Mode when your battery is running low or when you need to extend your battery life. This mode reduces background activity, disables visual effects, and optimizes performance to conserve power.
Close Unused Apps: Close apps running in the background that you’re not actively using. Background apps can consume resources and drain the battery, so regularly swipe them away from the app switcher.
Limit Location Services: Adjust the location settings for apps to use location services only when necessary. Select “While Using” or “Ask Next Time” for better control over which apps can access your location.
Reduce Notifications: Minimize the number of push notifications you receive from apps. This not only reduces interruptions but also saves battery life by preventing unnecessary background activity.
Update Software: Regularly update your iPhone’s software to ensure you have the latest optimizations and bug fixes from Apple, which can help improve battery efficiency.
