iPhone 17 Pro 17 Pro battery - lackluster or unreasonable expectations?

Seems kind of crazy that they advertise 30+ hours of screen time and we’re happy to be getting four or five hours

You should get more then 4-5, but in no way is 30 hours real.

What’s up with no love for non-Max this year? It bugs me that there is no explicit non-Max 17 Pro vs 16 Pro comparisons by the major YouTubers and publications. Tons of the Max comparisons, but non-Max users have to try to extrapolate from the differences vs 16 Pro Max instead of an apples-to-apples comparison to the 16 Pro.

Doesn’t help that the anecdotal reviews seem to be pretty mixed on 17 Pro battery life. Some good, some bad. Guess I’ll have to wait longer than usual to make upgrade decision this year since I don’t like large phones.
