Apple’s latest device, iPhone 16, was introduced with its improved features and promises of long battery life. However, many users state that these expectations are not met. Device owners complain that the battery drains quickly even in standby mode. Complaint sites are overflowing with dissatisfied user comments.
APPLE’S CLAIMS AND FACTS
Apple claimed that the iPhone 16 series would offer a longer lifespan than previous models, thanks to its more efficient 3nm A18/Pro chip and larger battery. It was emphasized that the battery performance of the iPhone 16 Pro models would be much better. However, users state that these claims do not reflect reality and the battery performance is disappointing.
COMPLAINTS ARE INCREASING
On MacRumors, Reddit, and Apple support forums, users report that their devices are rapidly losing battery even in standby mode. Some users complained that the battery was draining quickly even when they were not using their phones.
One user said, “I bought my 16 Pro Max phone on release day. “At first, it was written that updates running in the background affected battery and thermal performance, but after that warning disappeared, I noticed that my battery was draining rapidly,” he commented.
THERE ARE UPDATE PROBLEMS
While some users claim that excessive battery consumption started with the iOS 18.0.1 update, others state that they have been experiencing these problems since the first day. Allegedly, battery problems on the iPhone 16 may be caused by an error in iOS. If this is true, users will have to wait for Apple’s next software update for the solution.
SEEKING A SOLUTION WITH BETA VERSION
Some users state that battery problems have been alleviated by installing the iOS 18.1 beta version. Users hope that their problems will be solved by waiting for new updates.
Apple has not yet made an official statement regarding these problems experienced by users.
