iPhone 14 Pro Max battery drain and overheating

I’ve noticed recently my phone has been getting really hot on the rear just below the camera, and the battery has been draining rapidly. I tried multiple youtube videos(mostly clickbait) and came up short. I’ve tried resettling all settings, turning off location options, deleting apps, and even doing a soft reset, nothing worked! Until I decided to turn off the always on display and putting the phone into low power mode, this seems to has resolved the issues because it’s been 12 hours since my last charge and I’m currently at 38%. Prior to the changes i would’ve been lucky to get 4-5 hour’s total.

Troubleshooting a Draining iPhone Battery:


A. Battery Drain Info:

The iPhone battery will drain, unless it is plugged in and charging. With lots installed, the charge would be slower. As for how fast it would drain the battery, that would depend on the battery health and the volume (sound) you use.

  1. Go Here: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support
  2. Scroll Down: to "Your battery's maximum capacity"



B. Verify the Baterry Health Percentage:

Apple recommends you get a new battery, once the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery. Unfortunately, these if no way to know how, nor when, then percentage decrease occurred. So see if it tine for a new battery...

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Battery
  3. Tap: Battery Health
  4. View: [the percentage]
  5. Is it 80% or less?  If so, it is time for a new battery.



C. Troubleshooting the Battery:
