I would agree with that statement for the most part. Some activities take more than others so it's not always the case, but usually. I forgot how different light mode looked lol (I've been running dark mode for the last few iPhones). I'd be very happy with those numbers that you have.
What phone is that and how old? How on earth are you getting 9 hours for about 30%?
same,,same...
Same here with my 12 mini. 100% for 10 months, now at 93%. I have a fast charger available almost at all times, plus I use the low power mode a lot now, so even though the battery life is obviously not ideal, I make do just fine ? Not planning on upgrading anytime soon.
I have never fast charged my 12PM, used an old 5W brick and gets burst charging during my commutes, mostly had it between 20-80%, still the massive drop in capacity.
Fast charging by itself doesn’t have as much affect on the battery health as everyone thinks. What’s detrimental to the battery health is the heat generated by the fast charging till it reaches 50% which is exacerbated by a case that leaves no room for heat dissipation. Similar thing with wireless charging and MagSafe resolves the alignment issue that generates heat with wireless.
Very good point about the case and lack of heat dissipation. It’s often overlooked.
Interesting. My 12 Pro I got in December 2020 was 100% for the first about 13 months but then couple weeks ago dropped to 99% and today to 98% at 132 charge cycles. So suddenly sharp drop. First drop to 99% did not change iMazing readings much at all (was still hovering around nearly 100% in iMazing) but now when IOS health dropped to 98% iMazing has sharp drop to barely above 97% there. I already thought I happened to get undestructable battery this time but obviously something nasty happened in past couple of weeks. BTW, my 12 Pro has Sunwoda battery (battery serial starting with F8).
This "process" seems to be going on, just this week mine dropped again 1% down to 97%. So just about in one month it has dropped from 100 > 97%. It is odd that it stayed over 1 year at 100% but then started to drop almost 1% per week!! Luckily so far nothing dramatic changes in battery run time but I have switched to dark mode couple weeks ago, so that might even up the real difference...
Well, I’ve always said it should have been in the 16:9 format i.e. a little shorter and a little wider. Also, if I don’t concentrate sufficiently, I miss-type a lot due to the screen being so narrow. Which can be very annoying in the long run.
I understand your feelings. With mini I mainly type with one hand but that is impossible for me with bigger ones. Just over the weekend I do have a regular 13 but mini should arrive back during the next week. I already have a buyer for 13. But I found myself in a situation where I love something from both of them. I like typing on bigger one but I don't like use it. I like smaller one for using but sometimes using it for pdf previews or something similar is very strange. But battery wasn't an issue for me with 13 mini. It was really better then 12 mini. But who knows, maybe when pandemic will end, I will switch to another one when I will have to use my phone differently than these days. Who knows? ?
