Hey, I just upgraded to the 13 Pro from a 6s and the battery life is certainly amazing in comparison… I made it almost 36 hours on a charge. Just wondering though… under battery in settings it shows a screen on time of under 4 hours, with safari accounting for the majority of the power usage. I was doing what I would call light web browsing so I’m a bit surprised that safari would be at the top of the list. Does this seem right?
Got a tip for us?

If you spent a lot of time on this forum, that was probably the issue. There is some sort of bug related to ads that causes a CPU spike for a lot of people. You can check out this thread to learn more…

They did just implement a workaround that should help with the problem.
MacRumors Site/Forums Causing Battery Drain?
Has anyone else noticed their battery draining rather quickly when browsing MacRumors on their iPad (possibly iPhone and/or Mac too)? I got the new iPad Pro and thought it was odd that my battery was draining quicker than usual. It wasn't until I came across this thread that I realized maybe it...

Safari is an energy hog. Your stats are correct.
Did you really need to go 36 hours before plugging it back in? Or was that just a test?
It’s a lot easier on the battery to do little partial charges when you get a chance than to run it down into the red zone

Wow, thanks! I was in fact on MR a decent amount, so that probably explains a good chunk of it. I need to do more testing to see how bad it is, but at home I use an ad-blocker DNS, so I wonder if it's as much an issue as when I'm out and about on cellular.If you spent a lot of time on this forum, that was probably the issue.

Crazy to me that it's THAT much of an energy hog, though. I swear I saw tests of the Pro staying on doing all sorts of stuff for like 8+ hours? Anyway, no, I don't usually let it run down all the way, it was more of a test than anything 😉
