iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max how’s your battery life been so far? Post your usage.

Currently 25% battery. Last charged it to 100% around 4:52pm yesterday

How the hell do you guys do 6, 8, 10 or even more hours of screen time before charges? Good Lord, I think I must be the only person on this forum that doesn't live on his iPhone.

I work two jobs. One is in an industry where I use my phone to demo things to people, the other I use it to schedule clients and facilitate my invoicing. I also use it as a display for my side business. That, on top of my personal entertainment, news, and productivity for personal life use in a day, it’s easy to get up there in hours.

Also, usually during the first week or two, I’m on it a lot more, having fun with the new toy.

Day two use.

Seems to be draining at 5% per hour on real use (screen on, Bluetooth, standby, etc).

Will not charge overnight to check consumption tomorrow.

 

[M5RahuL]

For today...At 42% now

Anybody else having an issue with the Mail app consuming a lot of battery in the background? I only have a single email account set to fetch every hour and have tried to delete the email account and sign in again but it doesn’t appear to have helped.

Today was my first day really using the phone. 18 hours off the charger and 2 hours 25 minutes of screen on time and I was at 68%. Easily a 2 day phone for me. Seems pretty similar to my XS Max.

 

[Lsmachado]

Today’s usage. Currently sitting at 57%.

Ok 14 hrs since I took mine off the charger. I wasn’t on my phone much today due to work. 39% end of day. Wow great battery life.

The battery life is decent, but when i play in Clash Royale the battery draining quickly.

And apparently the problem with games is huge.

I hope this can be fixed by updates.

Apparently some game developers need to optimise their games for the a14, so this is not Apple’s fault.

 

[Martin Hutnik]

I'm shocked about battery life. End of a day with 40% left and 12h SOT.

 

[xxBlack]

I'm getting around 10h SOT with 95% on Wifi. Instagram, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Facebook and 1h Apple Music streaming over Wifi + LTE

Battery life has been good. Haven’t plugged in in about a day and a half (late Sunday night and it’s currently Tuesday morning) and I’m at 40%. I’m not a heavy user though. Over 6 hours screen on so far, but mostly just social media, texting, email, and some light web browsing. One phone call about 45 mins long. A few hours of music with screen off.

Question: this is my first OLED display. Do dark colours (eg. dark mode, and dark wallpaper) actually make a noticeable difference in terms of battery? I know that it helps in theory, but in practice??

I’m doing pretty good. Haven’t charged since 15th except for a few mins in the car.

Says “Few minutes”, shows screenshot showing 2 hours i jest i jest, that’s great battery

Ha I only charged in the car when I was using Waze something like 40 mins so it really is negligible. I'm impressed so far.

Anecdotally I’m doing well with battery today. It’s 8pm and I’m on 60%. I’d usually be on about 30%. I don’t see this as being a day and half of battery or two day battery, but certainly extremely workable! I’m a happy camper.

 

[afonsomduarte]

Can someone explain to me why I always get 0 minutes of screen off in the last 24hrs when I access the usage statistics? Is there something I’m missing? Because I’m sure as hell I didn’t have the screen on the whole time.

Sounds like a rogue app running in the background. Do you have background app refresh turned on or off?

It’s turned on but not for all the apps 😕

Did you restore from backup? ‘Reset all settings’ might help

 

[TroyBoy30]

got mine on launch day and just charged it last night

I did but won’t that delete all Wi-Fi passwords and such?

 

[freakomac]

Today was the first day I got to mess with the phone since I got it couple of days back and organise apps & widgets.
WiFi all day, True Tone on, dark mode, auto brightness (~30%), bg refresh off for most apps, location services on for handful settings.
I literally didn’t put it down today and battery life has been amazing, 43% still left at the time of taking this screenshot.

 

[bushman4]

7 hours with 40% left. No 5G usage just safari, music, movies
So far looks great

 

[xxBlack]

Around 5:30h with 39% left. From 5:45 am to 10:15 pm.
