Those who’ve had both the 12 Pro and 13 Pro (6.1” not the Max) is the battery noticeably better ?
I think the consensus is that the 12 series (in general) was let down by the battery. Is the 13 Pro appreciably better ?
 
Having had both the 12 Pro and 13 Pro in the past (now I’m using a 13PM), my experience was that the 13 Pro battery was a big leap in difference. The 12 line up battery performance was poor (again, my experience).

Big difference between the 12 Pro and 13 Pro. It was one of the main reasons I upgraded from the 12 Pro.

To add a slightly different data point - I went from a 12PM to a 13P and the battery is only a little worse but still enough to get me through the day. My old 12PM would have ~50% left after a normal day and the 13P tends to have around 40-45%.

When it was new, my 12 Pro had outstanding battery life. Right now? It's ok, I can see by the end of day the percentage is lower than expected.
 
My 12 Pro is 20 months old now. Do feel the battery has declined a fair bit over the last 3 months or so. It’s generally been ok but not as good as my 11 Pro from what I recall.
Not too swayed to spend big money on the 14 so thinking of picking up a heavily discounted second hand 13 Pro (with 100% Barrett health). There’s a few about for sale that were only purchased relatively recently. That time of year.
