Is there something on the iPhone 15 Pro Max that sometimes keeps disappearing?

This error does not happen often, sometimes it appears and sometimes it is normal.

Below is his sharing.

When the iPhone 15 Pro Max works well, the battery usually lasts about 2 days on a single charge.

However, sometimes the battery life on his iPhone suddenly and inexplicably decreases even though the frequency of use has not changed much. There are times when the device drops below 50% battery around mid-day. But there are some batteries that stay at 80% even in the middle of the afternoon.

The unusualness of the battery surprised Andy Boxall.

Currently, his iPhone 15 Pro Max has been upgraded to iOS 17.5.1 and it seems that the battery life is longer and more stable than before. But he doesn't know if the above situation will repeat or not.

Andy Boxall tried to find out all the causes by searching for battery draining applications and discovered the GoPro application running in the background and taking up a lot of resources. But he wasn't using the GoPro app at all and only discovered it was running when he checked the battery settings. Therefore, GoPro is not the cause of the unusual battery drain.

Andy Boxall shared the problem with two other colleagues and they said they also encountered the same odd situation but each of them encountered different ways of battery drain.

The problem of battery life problems on other iPhone models, not just the iPhone 15 series, has been reported by users for a long time. Therefore, Andy Boxall believes that it is not just the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it is not due to a certain application, but this situation occurs with different iOS versions.

Andy Boxall uses both an iPhone and an Android phone every day, which only happens on Apple devices.

He believes that this is not a hardware error of the iPhone 15 and hopes that this problem can be fixed when the iPhone 16 series launches later this year.

It seems like this error belongs to iOS software or applications. Although it is not clear what is the real culprit of this unusual battery situation on the iPhone, Andy Boxall hopes that it will soon be fixed on iOS 18. He also hopes that developers ensure that their applications they do not contribute to any unexpected battery drain on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
