Hey everyone! I got my iPhone 16 Pro about 11 days ago to replace my old iPhone 12, which had a battery health of 77%. I had heard all the buzz about how amazing the 16 Pro's battery is, but I'm really not seeing that in my experience. It seems to drain fast—like I lose 1% every 3 to 8 minutes, even when I'm hardly using it. I mainly use apps like TikTok and Instagram, and even during regular phone calls when the screen is off, I'm losing battery. I've turned off background app refresh for most apps and set it to WiFi only. To add to that, my phone gets uncomfortably hot, although it's not overheating. I charge it at night, but it still loses about 2-3% while I'm asleep. When I just use it for quick tasks at work, the battery depletes super quickly—like 1% every 3 minutes. I've gone to an authorized Apple reseller, and they said everything seems fine, but I'm still worried. My sister has the same phone and seems to get way better battery life, despite using it more heavily than I do. I'm starting to feel stressed about it. What's going on?

Make sure to check out Apple's recommendations for optimizing your battery. They have some great tips on their site! Also, about those graphs you mentioned—did you manage to get any screenshots showing your battery health or usage stats? Sometimes those little details help pinpoint what's going on.
It sounds like you're going through a frustrating situation! The iPhone 16 Pro is known for its excellent battery life, but sometimes there's a lot of data that needs indexing when moving from an older phone. Apps, photos, messages, and all that stuff can slow things down while it's sorting and syncing. I recommend giving it a couple of days to settle, and keeping it plugged in during that time can help speed up the process. Just to reassure you, once it’s done, your battery should start to perform better.
