Hello everyone, I have discovered a strange phenomenon with my iPhone 12 Pro. In standby, the iPhone loses about 1% per hour. However, when I use it, I can literally watch the percentage drop. There is nothing suspicious in the settings under "Battery" that seems to be sucking a lot of battery power. Do you have any tips that could help me?
A few details about my iPhone: As I said, it's a 12 Pro, iOS 14.5.1 is installed. The provider is Sunrise (Switzerland) and the modem version is 46.0.
The background update is completely turned off, I don't have iCloud, and the iPhone is plugged in every day. During the night, the iPhone loses about 7%. Is this normal?
For example, today the iPhone lost a whole 7% between 07:30 h and 10:00 h (without using it (from 100% to 93%)).

Greetings and thanks in advance for helpful answers.

Plus one for watching the video that Jake suggested.

I went through all the tips with my iPhone 12 that the video presented. I was surprised to find out how much battery I was wasting with my settings. Most of those settings by the way were defaulted by Apple.

You might also want to review these battery saving tips. This is not a video so you can go thru them at your leisure:
