My new iPhone 14 pro max battery is draining very fast. Does it happen in all new phones ?

The measure of battery health deterioration/drainage is subjective and can vary depending on individual usage patterns. There is no universal standard to determine whether the battery health deterioration/drainage is normal or abnormal because it heavily relies on how the battery is used and maintained.

13. Disable Dynamic Backgrounds and Motion Effects: Dynamic backgrounds and motion effects use additional processing power and can impact battery life. Use a static wallpaper and disable parallax motion effects in Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion.
14. Limit Widgets: Widgets on the Today View can consume battery life. Remove or limit the number of widgets displayed by swiping right on the home screen, scrolling to the bottom, and tapping Edit.

16. Use Wi-Fi Instead of Cellular Data: When possible, connect to Wi-Fi networks instead of relying on cellular data. Using Wi-Fi consumes less power than using cellular data.
17. Enable Airplane Mode in Low or No Coverage Areas: When you're in an area with low or no cellular coverage, enabling Airplane Mode can prevent your iPhone from constantly searching for a signal and draining the battery.

Please report back wether performing the above process made the battery drainage worse, fixed it, or if you noticed no change at all. 

Please be sure to tell Apple about this issue here. It is necessary to include the current iOS you are on in the comment section, as the latest iOS’ are rarely included in the list.

And lastly, if the above wasn’t helpful, please take your device into an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further testing:

Good Luck!

Hi,

I have the same problem. My battery is draining very fast. The phone even looses battery when shut down for the night. I bought it from an Apple Store in Europe, but when I went there to ask about this problem, they just said that there is no problem, without checking the phone. I bought the phone 2 weeks ago. I charged my previous iPhone 12 Pro Max ones in 1,5 -2 days, while the 14 Pro Max I have to charge ones in 12 - 14 hours. The usage is the same, same applications.

I’m very disappointed.

To check if your iPhone is authentic, please follow the steps in this thread: How do I check that my iPhone is authentic - Apple Community.

Hello!

Have you ensured that the iOS is fully updated to iOS 16.6?
