Took my phone off the charger 7h ago. Used it for 13 min. Still at 100%. Battery definitely not bad for me on the rc so far…

Hey everyone.
I’ve seen a few comment that battery life seems better than 16.4. Is this still holding up? Thinking of jumping on the RC.
Thank you.

Last night it dropped 7%. Appears to be from the RC setting up.
Likely back to around 3% in a day or so.
Was weird late last night - lost access to my iCloud, Messages, some Notes, basically anything tied to my Apple ID.
Apple Status showed green across the board.
All good at the moment. Just saw 9to5 saying that is was apparently down for some.

That status page is manually updated and not representative of live status.
RC back to awful battery and constant location pings
Oh well at least we got one beta release with decent battery!

Pretty crap on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I hit 30 % by 3 pm the last few days! (was at 100% when I woke up around 8 am) Ironically I thought 16.4 was better than 16.3 before I jumped back on the beta cycle a while ago. "Find My" seems to be constantly running, maybe it is the AirTags? Wiped my iPhone now, maybe it will make a difference
Same here, all day yesterday it was screwed up, and late last night I kept getting a prompt to log into my account and it would fail everytime. Seems to be working again this morning.
Crazy thing is I am seeing in Settings, right below my ID -
"Get Ready For Your New iPhone
Use iCloud to move your apps and data to your new iPhone
Get Started"
I don't have a new iPhone.

This is a test bed.

Seems to be a bug. I received this same exact message on iOS 16.4 Beta 2.

Yes, we are getting terrible battery life as well.
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but since upgrading to 16.5 yesterday, I’ve had 3.5 hours of screen-on time today with only 30% battery used, putting me on track for 11-12 hours of screen-on time. I haven’t had battery life this good since I first got my 14PM! I hope it stays. If it does, I’ll have a hard time feeling motivated to upgrade to further iOS versions for a while unless there’s a major security risk.
I just noticed the only way to place those two widgets to the bottom is by adding a single app to the now empty row first. Otherwise it is not letting me place those widgets where I want them (to the bottom with a bigger gap between my row of folders).
You know what I mean? Wonder if it’s a bug or a feature and I am not actually supposed to be able to place them so far down haha
Anyway, if you want a big gap between your app icons and the square widget (to kind of have it serve as a separater between apps and widgets), move an app to the row that you actually want to be empty, which is going to drop the widgets further down, and then move the app away, the widgets will stay in place

I don't understand... How come some people are reporting amazing battery life and some people are experiencing terrible battery life? Which one is it? 😬🤥
I think it's how people use their phones and how consistently they have the screen on or an app running - my battery is just alright but I use my phone with 8-9 hours of screen on time a day. Perks of working in IT 😮💨
People with amazing battery life, use their phones to make one call a day. 💁🏻♂️
