My iPhone 14 Pro Home Screen and Lock Screen are draining battery

Hello, I am using an iPhone 14 Pro, and after updating to iOS 18 I noticed significant battery drain. When i go to battery , it says that Home and lockscreen is using 19%. I do not have lockscreen widgets, I do not use AOD, I have 2 widgets on my homescreen, Calendar and Weather. I do not use location, bluetooth or air drop that often. I tried restarting my phone, erased all the settings, even did a factory reset and the problem still exists. Any idea what it mighht be? Thank you!

It s 19% of what you have used that period, not 19% of the total

Turn off raise to wake maybe.

Yes, perfect, see in upper left Activity by App? That’s your clue. For example Spotify had only 1 minute on screen, but 31 minutes in background. That’s network activity, screen brightness, Bluetooth activity etc. Instagram has high background activity as well.


Do you have any Widgets on your Home or Lock Screen? If the are constantly updating, that can be a drain. So can Notifications and scrolling through notifications. High screen brightness will have a dramatic effect on battery consumption during those times.
