What % battery life does your iPhone consume per hour when you're OOH (out of the house) running errands?

Me:
Phone - iPhone 17 Pro Max (1 TB): 10% at a minimum. Usually 12%. Sometimes 15%.
Typical App Usage: Phone, CarPlay, Apple Music, Apple Maps, OverCast, YouTube, GoodLinks, Photos.

I've never checked battery life on an hourly basis. For me that would be obsessive. But in my experience, I don't think I've noticed a difference in battery life based on whether I'm at home or not.

CarPlay is a known battery killer. I don’t use it so I only notice around 5% battery drain per hour on my 17 Pro.

Agreed. I don’t usually check how much is being used per hour.

This question is a result of looking at my phone when I return home and thinking:

“wow, I have the latest greatest iPhone and it chomps Battery really quickly.”

Good point. I added CarPlay to my use case list above, although I usually have the phone charging when I’m in the car
