Because the readings are totally wrong, it's normal for battery percentage not to move for the first hour when charged to a 100% on the iPhone 13 pro max.

It's not normal for the percentage to be stuck once in the 90s, 80s and so on, until you reboot the phone.

Even the usage graphs don't line up when this glitch happens. 🤦‍♂️
Did you ever have more than a 5% difference in readings?

Coconut is only a way to see the real percentage (or real-ish). Every time I reboot they coincide so I think it's dependable for that.

A 7% drop would mean something, as the 11% one. But I think many could think to have this problem even when it's not there.
 
Hopefully it’s apple playing it safe and I end up getting it in 2-3 weeks.

Nice of them to let me keep this phone, while they send the new one out. 👌

They normally make you send it back.

Can’t believe the apple store worker came straight out and said my screen doesn’t look right lol, they normally deny, deny, deny.

The one i put mine next to looked like heaven. Wanted to take it, there and then. 😂
I forget what does the screen issue look like (mine is wonderful) but I recall on original thread you mentioned this with the order thread?

Shopping mate, be back soon to rant some more.

Why do you have to go ahead and put a picture of the leather case like that? 🤣

I had my eye on one at the Apple Store but got the silicone one instead. Do you think the protection is any better or worse than the silicone one?

I agree though iOS 15 bugs have been a disappointment with me. With 14 I remember a few apps crashing but nothing like this. IDK what's going on at Apple but this seems to be a mess. I hope 15.1 comes out soon

Apple are a bunch of morons, they should stop dealing with Samsung, they’re are cutting corners by getting second grade oled panels. 🤦‍♂️
I don’t understand. Apple has well over 200+ billion dollar in liquid cash. That’s American dollars just sitting at the bank. Not sure why they would not invest it manufacturing on their own. Are they waiting for a lawsuit to happen or what?

I prefer leather, but like both, you don’t get any lint or dust on the leather cases 👌

here is some more photos. 😁

Apparently they’re developing their own screens in a few secret factories in Taiwan. 😁 So they can be less reliant on Sucmsung.

Won’t be long now, before it’s 👋👋 Samsung.
 
SO

How many did have more than 5% drops on reboots? I counted only @Ah0ck from 79 to 67%

In the daily battery thread is has been pointed out, and it's probably true, that Apple waits for the battery to actually drop at least 5% before dropping 1% of the indicator, and then slowly reducing this gap to a 1-2% difference during the day. Maybe they noticed that people are happier to have this delusion of the battery holding the charge more right after charging the phone. Rebooting the phone makes it read the raw battery percentage value again (or it can be checked with Coconut on a Mac). This explains the up to 5% battery drops on reboots.

The more I read this thread and ponder about my experience the more I think this could be just expected behaviour. The batteries on these 13s are quite good, and it can take a while to see the percentage drop. This, coupled with Apple's algorithm, could give the impression of a stuck battery percentage indicator (at any percentage, apparently this algorithm kicks in after a long-ish recharge. Brief charges don't matter).

The only way to falsify this hypothesis is to get more than a 5% difference on reboots or when checking with Coconut. Who else had this? I tried it yesterday, but as I documented I couldn't get more than the usual 5% difference, it was actually 1-2% near the end of the day.

I don't know if I'm right though
I don't have coconut battery as I am not using MacOS. This was not happening in iOS 15. Only happened after I updated to 15.0.1. I was feeling funny why the battery was not dropping when I was using it for 3 hours (watching netflix). Did a restart and bam! Battery percentage instantly dropped.

Email Tim Cook, tell him this isn’t acceptable.

Yup. 1st percentage of the battery after charging takes a long time to move, and after that pretty consistently faster.

I dont recall but do you have auto brightness and the True Tone on ? I do and with the later off especially the screen is significantly less bright white looks more blue/grey. And if your night shift is on completely then you would also get a yellow screen but you probably checked those. I saw someone comment on this on his new 13 and why he did not like screen compared to X and got me to wonder what your settings are with your 13?

He won’t admit it but it’s the 128GB model. ☹️ I told him next time to order 1TB if he wants the best of the best quality screen 😂

JK, @LFC2020

Auto brightness, True Tone, night shift all off.
