My Iphone 16 battery keeps draining

I purchased the iPhone 16 2 days ago and the battery keeps draining so fast. I only have a few apps on the phone and I’ve followed through with tips to keep my battery from draining fast but still no changes.

1% drops every 2-3minutes which is abnormal for a new phone!

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Does this seem to be draining any faster then your prior phones?


Troubleshooting iPhone Battery Draining:


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.

This is entirely normal. When you purchase a new iPhone, certain tasks continue in the background including indexing which moves your millions of bytes of data over. In which you can experience an increased battery drain. When the tasks are complete, which usually takes a few days depending on how much data you have, your iPhone will return to normal conditions.
