Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone else has been having issues with their 13 Pro battery life. Upgraded from an 11 Pro Max (absolutely incredible battery life, even still to this day at 84% total health) and I'm very disappointed with the 13 Pro's battery. Seems like I can barely get any screen on time without losing tons of percentage. Has anyone else been experiencing this too? Wondering if I should return it and just stick with the 11PM for another year :/

No issues for me. Actually coming from an iPhone 11, it's been phenomenal.

at 35% battery life right now and I took it off the charger just after 530am (816pm right). Haven't plugged it in at all today, which is refreshing. Streamed some radio, did a bunch of web surfing, and some gaming as well.
 
I have the 13 pro max and I’m not as impressed as everyone else. It’s good battery life but my standby time doesn’t seem to be that good to be totally honest.
 
Seems to be a common theme across Reddit and macrumors that the 13 pro battery is underwhelming and the 13 pro max is stellar. I have a 13 pro and it’s been quite shoddy for me, I don’t even tend to keep tabs on my battery but can’t help but notice it with the 13 pro…

Same here. I usually never think about my battery but I've been hesitant to even use my phone because I know the battery is going to drop in no time.

I’ve noticed that when I unplug from phone being completely charged at 100%, my iPhone 13 pro dropped 3% just being on standby for less than hr and phone had finished all backups. Nothing was running, I came from an iPhone 11 Pro which was starting to show its age with the battery but I may think it’s iOS 15 causing these issues.
 
Take a look at your app background setting. Also, take a look at screen time and see if there is a background task that might be causing high battery usage.

My 13 Pro Mac has consistently gone 2 days between charges. I do use it for browsing websites, texting, watch some YouTube and making phone calls.
