iPhone 14 losing charge

iPhone 14 is losing charge.

After maybe 4 hours or so, I am down to almost 50%.

The phone is not holding the charge.

I have checked all the suggestions; apps working in the background, refreshing, etc.

I do not see any specific app that is using too much power.

All things are down to a minimum, as suggested in my search for this issue, yet my phone keeps losing charge.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing the issue?

I have noticed this in the past few weeks...


Thank you

  • What is your Battery Health percentage at Settings > Battery > Battery Health? If it is below 80%, it needs to be replaced.
  • If it is above 80%, then post both battery graphs and the top 5 apps consuming your battery at Settings > Battery > View All Usage. I recommend tapping yesterday in the top daily graph, so the app usage is reported using a full day of data.
