Q: Why might my new iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max be experiencing rapid battery drain?

A: Your iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max might be draining battery quickly for several reasons. It could be indexing, especially if you restored from a backup, which is an intensive process that can last a few days. The battery capacity hasn't increased compared to the previous models, and new features might consume more power. Additionally, you might be using the device more often since it's new, or in rare cases, the battery could be defective.

Q: How can I determine if the battery in my iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max is defective?

A: If you're still experiencing unusual power consumption after a week or so, it's advisable to have your phone tested at the nearest Apple Store. They can determine whether the battery is defective. If it is, your device should be covered under warranty, and you should be able to receive a replacement at no additional cost.

Q: Will the battery life improve after the initial period of rapid drainage on my iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max?

A: Yes, the battery life should improve after the initial period. The rapid drain is often due to background processes like Spotlight Indexing, especially if you've restored from a backup. This process can be intensive but is temporary, lasting up to a few days. However, if the issue persists past a week, it may be indicative of a different problem, such as a defective battery.
