Apple Intelligence brings incredible new features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
After updating iOS 18.1 on my iPhone 15 Pro, later on I configured, Apple Intelligence. I feel Apple Intelligence consumes more battery health and battery drain. Very quickly. Does anyone else feel the same?
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18
I've not seen any degradation of battery life since updating to add Apple Intelligence. If you are using it a lot, it would make sense as it does require more processing power. But generally speaking battery life on my iPhone has not suffered with Apple Intelligence at all.
Battery degradation in regard to overall health is too early to determine, especially if using beta software and I’ll leave it at that.
But, yes, Apple Intelligence is all done locally (unless you subscribed to ChatGPT which consumes more and may compromise your data), and consumes extreme battery charge is used a lot.
But the bottom line is what do you want, ultimate daily battery capacity, smart Siri, and all the other Apple Intelligence. However, advanced capabilities come at a cost and with Apple Intelligence, daily battery capacity will be one casualty.
I haven't noticed it, but would expect that to be the case. Anytime your phone is doing more work it will be consuming more battery and Apple Intelligence does put more demand on your phone resources which is why it is restricted to only the faster devices with more RAM. Battery Health is tied to charging cycles, so if you are charging your device more then of course your battery health will go down quicker. Apple Intelligence is doing on device processing for security/privacy instead of sending it off to a third party server where your info could be at risk.

Not all Apple Intelligence activity is performed locally on-device. Where requests are too complex for on-device processing, requests are securely handed-off to Apple's more complex [data-centre] language models.
For iPad/iPhone, you can review hand-off request data from the transparency logs:
