Has anyone been able to kill their battery in one day yet? I’ve had mine since launch. I take it off the charger in the morning at 100% and when I plug it in at night I’ve yet to be under 30%. With my Xs max I would regularly have to charge during the day. Averaging north of 7 hours screen on time per day.

I know the battery is larger, and the phone is more efficient. But they say that pretty much every year. But this time it seems to actually be true. So has anyone had to charge to get them through the day yet?
 
I'm on day 3 of my Pro and I got it down to 29% yesterday with moderate usage. I imagine the Pro Max is a beast in the battery department. I don't expect a ton out of my pro and I have chargers everywhere.
 
There is another thread here with testing of all the new iPhones versus some other devices. Tom’s testing had the 11 beating the 11P but the video in the post here has the 11P winning. I changed my order yesterday from the 11 to the 11P and I am really hoping the 11P can match/beat the battery life of the XR/11.

I really like having a small device. I have an IPP for bigger screen stuff. I know it’s minimal but the slightly larger text on the 11P (Safari 100%) is nice.

FWIW.. and IMO the first few cycles/days are not indicative... but my 11P came off the charger at 6:20 AM and now at 10:15 I have 89% remaining.
 
I used mine at Disney all day yesterday. Off the charger around 7:30 am. And when we got back to the car I plugged in at 14%. Really impressed. I was taking photos all day!

Battery life on my 11 pro is amazing. I had to charge my xs twice during the day. I’m a pretty heavy user. I can go all day with no charge. When I plug it in at night I still have around 49%.

Try not to go under 20% and trying staying between 40% to 80% you will see that your battery peak will stay at 100% for a long time :)
 
I went X -> Xs Max -> 11 Pro (non-max). Extremely impressed with the battery on this thing. The X would last a day for me in normal usage, but with heavy usage I would need a charge. The Max last year I never had battery issues with. The 11 Pro seems to have the same battery life as the Max for me..so basically I don't need to worry about it.

I'm pretty sure in normal usage I could easily push two days if I had to.
