Only some iPhone 15 owners are experiencing a so-called ‘vampire drain’ on their battery life.
This can be a nightmare on-the-go, especially if you don’t have a compatible power block to hand.

The company admitted that iPhone 15s may be losing their battery much faster than other handsets if they’re paired with an Apple Watch.
Apple wrote: “Increased power consumption might occur when an Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1 is paired with an iPhone with iOS 17.0 (or watchOS 10.0 is paired with iOS 17.1).”
