I am curious after having read some comments on how much a battery should last.
I have turned off FindMy and reported to Apple that background process is still there and eating from 4-10% of my battery.
Also turned off Siri and a few other battery saving functions.

How many hours do you get when it comes to "screen on"? I get maybe 2.5h with a battery loss of 60% in 24 hours.
Given I have the Max I don't think this is right. Battery quality according to the phone is good but it sure doesn't feel like it.

I know having 40% left after a day is not bad but given how little usage I have (screen off is maybe 20 minutes at most) it doesn't seem right.
If you have a 13 Pro Max can you please post how many hours of "on screen" and "off screen" you have during a normal 24h period and how much reduction of battery that produces?

Thanks!
 
Have you looked through some of the threads already going on battery issues?

As mentioned there are many posts in other threads with suggestions. However since I have the same phone version as you, currently with 4 hours and 25 minutes of onscreen time mine has dropped to 82%.
 
Yeah, I have seen other threads but I was specifically wanting to see what people are experience with the 13 Pro Max as a reference. Appreciate the data posted and if there are others going to post as well.

This is a 12 hours period between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Battery is at 89% currently. I have background refresh off and some switches turned off in Privacy -> Location Services but Find My is on. Also using Wireless Carplay and Apple Watch so I reckon it looks quite all right.
