So I decided to create a thread for this, I did a quick google search by just googling iphone 12 battery usage, and I actually saw a bunch of people especially overseas having battery draining issues, like their battery would drain 10-20%, some even 50% overnight, and battery usage overall while using is just bad.

Today I kind of experience it myself and I think i'm one of them, hence I open this thread and ask if anyone experience the same, i dont charge my phone overnight, so technically im able to tell how much battery % it drops when i wake up, normally it drops around 3%, but today it drops to 5%, and I only have wifi connected, with some background apps ( whatsapp,insta,wechat ) as they say not to force close apps, no use in saving battery. Then last night, I was using my phone for simple text messaging and scrolling social medias, and my battery drop around 2-3% in a span of 10 minutes, i might be overthinking, but is this normal ?

I then went to reddit to consult, and people there say it's software issue of the iPhone 12, not the phone itself, have to wait for the next iOS update for them to fix this issue, so just wanna ask anyone experiencing the same and agree that it's software issue or it's just unlucky me ? My battery overall is still ok, but its actually draining faster than my iPhone 6 in terms of overnight.

Screen brightness impact battery the most.

Next is heated processor, do you put thick casing or bare naked?

Next is signal, 3G / 4G? As further away you from tower, then higher transmit power it uses. Try off network and just use Wifi u see power utilization improves.

In terms of screen brightness, I have it set to the lowest, at around 15-20% ALL THE TIME. So I think can rule that out.

I'm using Apple's official silicone case, so it shouldn't impact my day to day battery usage ?

I'm using WIFI most of the time and turn on mobile data when I'm at home, when I go out, i use mobile data. I have been using WIFI and off mobile data when im at home so i tried that, still I think the battery drains quite fast.

The thing is, dropping 5% overnight is not normal ? Or it is ?

5% over 6-8 hours quite normal. Show your battery here.
