My new Iphone 17 battery draining too fast
iPhone 17 Battery Drain — Is This Normal?
I bought my iPhone 17 on August 7, and I’m noticing pretty fast battery drain. Even overnight, the battery drops around 6–7% despite not using the phone.
From 80% to 20%, I’m getting only around 3.5 hours of Screen-On Time (SOT), which feels quite low for a new iPhone.
I contacted Apple Customer Support, and they told me this is normal during the first 2–3 weeks because background indexing is still running and the phone is optimizing and settling in. They said the battery performance should improve after that.
Has anyone else experienced this with a new iPhone 17? Did your battery life actually improve after a few weeks, or should I get the phone checked/replaced?
Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.
