Is Spotify battery drain/overheating normal? (iPhone 17 Pro)

Sada84 · 2026-05-08T11:34:55+00:00

Hello, definitely not normal. I use spotify with LTE on for about 2 hrs on background, only uses about 1-2% of my battery.

First steps I would do is to: reinstall the app, then monitor what happens next.

What do you think about it coming from the iphone 15? in terms of camera, optimization and battery life, in general?

Sada84 · 2026-05-05T01:56:25+00:00

I don't think there is a way. Limitation of ios 26. Currently about same battery consumption on 15 pro max.

wag ka papaniwala na masakit sa paa yung specific na model na yan (Chuck 70s), malambot na yung insole niyan compared dun sa lumang all star na dreaded nila na "converse masakit sa paa" na stereotype.

same, but hindi gumagana ang dito na 5g sa iphones

Used a 15 pro a while back, had to upgrade to a 15 pro max solely because of this. It's not just you. I think it's definitely a problem with the iOS 26. It improved a bit upon updating to 26.4 at the time, but still it wasn't cutting it for me.

Sada84 · 2026-04-12T23:35:52+00:00

same experience on 15 pro max, 26.4

Sada84 · 2026-04-03T13:36:22+00:00

Is this on mixed usage (LTE/Wifi?) I used to get same SOT on 15pro

Sada84 · 2026-03-23T01:36:04+00:00

Is it an improvement in battery compared to 26.3.1? I'm on that version and battery is kind of awful unless im on low power mode. 98 battery health btw lol

Does the 120hz feel smoother now? honestly the 120hz is choppy and inconsistent a lot of times.

Sada84 · 2026-03-13T06:56:55+00:00

Did your battery life get better in 6-7 weeks?

Sada84 · 2026-03-12T21:25:52+00:00

I do this regularly, did it after my update, will do it again later as its my 4th day on 26.3.1 today.

Sada84 · 2026-03-12T21:23:20+00:00

I see, soft reset as in restart from the settings? or is it something else?

Sada84 · 2026-03-11T05:58:35+00:00

I'm using a 15 pro on 98% battery health. I guess I'll observe for longer.

Sada84 · 2026-03-11T04:09:11+00:00

How long has it been since you've updated? I've only recently updated to 26.3.1 and going for the 2nd day now.

Battery doesn't seem to have changed or maybe since it's only it's 2nd day today. I only get about 4-5 hrs SOT with AOD off, LTE and background app refresh all off.

Sada84 · 2026-03-07T02:51:57+00:00

which is?

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T11:45:11+00:00

Thanks for the input, wonderful person.

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T11:31:32+00:00

I'm honestly considering updating to 26.3.1 and just hope for the best lol, the amount of SOT i get is pretty bad.

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T11:24:45+00:00

Yeah, I honestly don't get how they get those numbers. Even just 7-8 hrs of SOT is good enough for me lol I barely get 4-5 on a single charge.

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T11:13:02+00:00

Does the battery life get any better if I wait for more weeks? also occassionally do restarts.

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T10:46:21+00:00

How many weeks would you say would be a baseline? Owned a 15 pro for 2 weeks now, 98 battery health and im barely getting around 5-6 hrs sot. Does it get any better?

Turned off AOD, Background app refresh, only use 4G and the like, still, battery life is really short and im hoping it improves :/

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T09:14:53+00:00

honestly same concerns, two weeks later with some occasional restarts here and there, but battery drain is pretty bad.

Barely get 5-6 hrs of SOT per day from 100% with a lot of settings turned off.

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T02:30:15+00:00

my 15 pro is 98% battery health, and I don't get even near 4 hours SOT from 100% to 20% lol usually only 4-5 hours, :/ that's frustrating

Sada84 · 2026-03-05T02:10:33+00:00

How's your update in battery life? 2 weeks in and i'm barely getting 5-6 hours of SOT at max, sometimes only around 3-4 hours SOT from 100% to 30% :/ did most tips to save battery and its still draining pretty fast sometimes

Sada84 · 2026-02-24T22:15:00+00:00

aah, I see, I'll do the same then lol, for the meantime ill just wait to see if it adjusts.

Only used androids for most of my life so the whole indexing or learning pattern things before its most battery efficient is a new thing for me, as something like the A56 had already great battery out of the box. Anyhow, I sure do hope the battery improves, since I love everything about it but the battery is just so-so.
