I'm currently rocking an iPhone XR. I'm considering upgrading to an iPhone 12, once whatever comes out in the fall comes out (thereby triggering Apple to lower the pricing on the iPhone 12). I've heard rumors that the A14 Bionic is substantially worse on battery life than the A13 Bionic and A12 Bionic present in the iPhone 11 series and second generation iPhone SE AND the iPhone XR/XS/XS Max, respectively. Though, I'm not sure how much of that is a higher resolution display (at least on non-Pro/XR iPhones) and/or 5G related battery drain.

For those that specifically upgraded from the iPhone XR to the iPhone 12 (and again, I'm not talking about the mini, the Pro, or the Pro Max; just the standard iPhone 12), how is your battery life on the latter compared to the former?
