They are answerring so basic solutions "please udpate iOS, blabla", and they don't pray attention to an eventual software issue. They asks the battery health screen, etc....
Here are two examples of days with lots of small use on my 14 Pro. Could you share yours ?

This morning I have made the test of using my iPhone 14 Pro normally
3h = 50% battery
On the other side an iPhone 13 with approximately same use but with very few apps.
1h30 = 12 battery
No strange app in the battery section in settings. So the root cause seems to be hidden ?!
Gmail sync ? (Turned on manual…)
An app with dirty integration and not visible ?
Apple Watch ??
Don’t know. I think I will erase all and install only essentials apps and see day after day by installing 1 more !

Don’t ruin your time. The main issue is the iOS 16. Update it on Monday and check therefor how the things go.
The 2 devices have different CPU/GPU, different modem, so iOS 16 is the main issue because it hasn’t been “finalised” for the 14 Pro models.
Stop the bs talk.
But the iPhone 13 sas suffering of the same issue when it was my device (with all my apps). And now with only my iCloud account and very few apps and no personalized settings it seems to be ok….
As I said on another thread, I have noticed a big difference about usage and battery impact.
I usually use my phone with lots of very small usages. For example, I can open Twitter 2min, open Safari 1min, return on Twitter, answering a SMS, playing 5min to Mariokart, etc.... Doing this during 4 hours on the day gets me to 40% !
This kind of usage seems to be a battery killer. On the other hand, watching a 1h video on youtube does not use lot of battery (only 6 / 7 %).
This morning, I have made a test on my old iPhone 13.
5h of Youtube video and I have 65% remaining !
65% is the battery level I can reach after only 2h30 of my usage (lots of small use).
So comparing only our battery chart is a very hard exercise ! It only have sense for the same usage and perhaps my bad opinion on my battery chart is just I do not use my iPhone correctly 😁😁

I had my iPhone 14 Promax for a year. It's at 91% BH. I have all apple batteries and charge accessories. Puzzling
Puzzling, how? iPhone batteries are rated to retain 80% health after 500 cycles, or about two years. So if you are at 91% after one year, then you are exactly as expected.
I experienced fast battery draining on 14 pro max despite efforts to minimize it. Then, battery health declined about 6% after about 1 year right after got 15 pro max on the launch day.
