Very heavy user, Internet use, play video games, stream video content of all sorts daily.

I charge my phone on a slow charge at night. I get up around 6 AM I go to bed at 11 PM and still have over 20%-30% of my battery power left, easily. Best battery life I’ve ever had.

I’m skeptical the next iPhone 12 ProMax with 5G & 120 Hz display will be able to last as well as the 11 ProMax all day with one charge. That’s how good Apple got this battery. IMO.

Same. I'm not happy with my 11 Pro battery life, I'm thrilled with it. I upgrade yearly and I noticed a drastic difference coming from an X and XS.

I am loving the Battery Life on my 11 Pro Max! this thing is ridiculous!
I am getting more Battery Life on the 11 Pro Max in normal mode than I got with the XS Max in Low Power Mode which was already brilliant!

This is the first iPhone I’ve ever had that I would consider excellent battery life, when paired with the Smart Battery Case I never even think of my battery power.

Is it not ridiculously heavy with the Smart Battery Case?
 
My 11 Pro Max is fantastic. Aside from me needing to tweak the screen color under accessibility, it's great. It'll still be over 60% after using it 8 SOT hours. I've yet to be in a situation where I need to rush charge it.

Hopefully the trend stays with getting more battery life. I'd hate to see them go thinner and lighter with battery life taking the hit. This device feels just right to me. Very sturdy, well built quality.

Edit: 5G will be a massive experiment. I've had an Android with 5G (OnePlus McLaren) and it was abysmal. I'm likely going to sit this upgrade cycle out. Possibly two. This Pro Max is hands down the best iPhone I've had in terms of battery. Nothing comes close to it.

Coming from an SE it’s like night and day. I use low power mode most of the time on my 11 Pro, the A13 is just crazy fast. I’m getting about 3 full days between charges. Very satisfied!

I see no point in 5G right now, especially when it’s so inefficiently setup.

I love my iPhone 11 Pro Max’s battery. Since the ios 13.3.1, I can go from 6am to 11pm and still have around 30-40% battery life. My bag has been lighter since I got the phone because I don’t need to carry a portable charger anymore!

Can't complain, looking at my battery history and over the past 10 days I have consumed more then 55-60% charge in a day. For me this will last until iOS 14 comes out and then my battery will suck again. :)
 
Agreed! Well worth losing 3D Touch, IMO!
Even if you had the iPhones with 3D Touch, if you upgraded it to ios12 it seemed Apple disabled it with the new force touch or whatever it’s called.
I have the 6s plus and it seems the same as my iPhone pro max.
 
Since my usage has normalized a bit more, I think I hit the 20% warning between 930-1030, so right before it goes on the charger. I usually take it off between 545-630, so 16+ hours everyday. I think the Pro Max would fill in any gaps where I’ve maybe needed 5-10% more in a day.
 
So I guess Apple put these bigger batteries into these models to also ensure that you can wirelessly reverse charge AirPods but then in the last minute they took away the reverse charge feature and kept the big batteries, and I am super glad they kept these batteries.

The battery life I am getting is insane on this thing, it can easily last me a full day, we wanted bigger batteries and Apple finally delivered!

I'm extremely happy with the battery life on my 11 Pro. I'm not a heavy user so I can sometimes go 2-3 full days between charges! Check out this screenshot; notice the battery usage per day is well below 50% and my last charge was Saturday morning, over two days ago!

This is the first phone where I'd feel confident spending the entire day out in a city like NYC without having a charger with me.
