User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hi, I’ve had this iPhone 17 Pro for four days, and I think the battery drains very quickly. I tried leaving it charging overnight with Wi-Fi on to "condition" the battery, but it made no difference; I used the phone for 4 hours and 31 minutes, and 86% of the battery was gone. What should I do?
