While not the claimed 5 hours it's over 2 hours better than iPhone Xs Max. Battery life is largely a function of battery capacity, screen area and transistors being powered. It now has a large battery but relatively lower screen area and fewer DRAM and NAND storage transistors to power relative to other devices so it does well.

Think you meant to link this rather than camera comparison.

 
Yea it's nice. I shouldn't need a battery case unless we go away somewhere. BTW the Pro Max fits in the XS Max Smart Battery case, just a little more snugly. I will check my other battery cases tonight and post results. Going to guess it may not fit the plastic ones but will still check.
 
This is exactly why a lot of us were wanting Apple to put bigger batteries in their phones, now that they have it’s great.

No more: “jUsT gEt a PoWerBaNk” nonsense.
 
So apple is cheater deceiver lying about battery life being 5 hours longer than iPhone xs max
No they aren’t. It does do 5 hours more when playing video. Obviously in real world usage it’s closer to 3 hours more but technically they aren’t lying , and they do say UP TO 5 hrs more, meaning 5 hrs is the absolute maximum

Just a little white lie and not blatant lie since they do say "up to". It's the fanboys who were exaggerating the claim that's it's guaranteed 5 hours better.

real world experience > manufacturer claim > fanboy claim
 
What I’m concerned about is the 11 not performing as well as I thought it would. Could this be it’s not as optimized for iOS 13...?
