I imagine that they will be relatively close this cycle compared to last.
I still think that the 11 will be the battery king this cycle much like it was last year; albeit a smaller difference.

Yeah Apple claims one hour more in the Pro Max Over the Pro which the Pro Max is what went with. I just like a bigger screen. Love the big screens.
But if you like the size of the Pro more than the Pro Max is go for it. I dont think there is a real world difference in the day to day use.

Too early to tell real life usage so either read reviews or trust Apple's published battery life on their site (albeit synthetic).

I have yet to see battery tests or usage figures between the current offerings, but the XS was less than stellar in terms of battery performance.
The 11’s battery is an improvement over the XR’s well-known battery life. I think that the 11 and 11 Pro are going to be close, with the edge going to the 11.
I have been wrong before though. Won’t hurt my feelings if I am.
Battery life is hugely important to me too. One other thing to consider is that because an OLED screen doesn't even activate a pixel when it is black vs an LCD screen having a backlight on all the time when active is that, if you are OK with using dark mode wherever possible and setting totally black (not dark grey) backgrounds and wallpapers then you have more scope for optimising (reducing) your power consumption when the screen is on vs an LCD screen.
It might not make much difference for many people's use cases, e.g. watching video which will probably light up a lot of the screen anyway, but I read a lot of ebooks and having my ebook reader set to white text on a black background so that for hours on end it is only powering up about 20% of the screen pixels is a big thing for me that pushes me towards OLED models.
