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

It’s kinda sad to see that Samsung still haven’t totally sorted out some of the power consumption issues, especially now that they have BOTH a 5nm chip and 5000mAh battery, the S21 Ultra should have been topping battery charts consistently across all reviews but it isn’t.

Doubt that will ever happen, Samsung software is all over the shop, it doesn't know if it wants to be a pc or a mobile os, it's horrible at doing both.

Exynos 2100 is already a flop, only thing samsung is good at is selling gimmicks.

Once you have issues, you're on your own, their customer support is non existent.

Nine hours YouTube is just sad. And I’m not speaking of the battery.

I thought the iPhone 12 was getting bad battery life due to 5G? No one here seems to have any issues/has it turned off? Good to hear for those of us considering one.

The health is just an estimate, sometimes it can sit on a certain number like 100% or 95% for a very long time and then suddenly drop multiple % or drop slowly, doesn’t matter what you do really.

Only time you should worry is when the phone switches to limiting performance due to a bad battery at around 80%.

This is the truth! My battery on my iPhone 11 Pro Max was at 100% for a whole year. I got the phone in December 2019 and in December 2020 it went down to 99%. Since then it has gown down slowly to 96% as of March 9th 2021.

Battery life between 10 -12. There’s alot of variables which contribute how your battery life is
1. How you use it, music videos.stc
2. How close you are to a tower the more the iPhone searches for signal the more battery use
3. The strength of Wi-Fi signal The weaker the signal the more power lost to maintain
4. Weather your using 2.4, 5.0 wifi
5. 5G a huge battery killer even if you near the tower. Not ready for prime time. Set your iPhone to 4G LTE and your overall speed will be better as well as your battery life
These are just a few battery killers

I haven’t noticed any hit on battery after getting on the 5G plan. This pro max 256gb is calling my name lol, my 12 is only 64.

Don't know how you're resisting that beast, I'd so open that box right now and start using it.

Then sell it in 6 month and get the 12s/13 😂 Or skip the 12s/13 and keep the 12 pro max like I'm planning on doing, if that happens though is another story lol. we'll find out how good apples marketing is in 6 month time. 🤔😂

4h36 min Screen on and 4h16min Screen off
Fully charged at 6am and battery at 65% now.
Can run down this battery easily in the evening watching videos and music etc.
This is better that the previous iphones i used. Not sure but I think the 8Plus had a better battery life than the 12PM.
 
My launch day is still 100% health and hit almost 12 hours SOT with a few % remaining. Almost 11 hours are with FB messenger with cameras ON and streaming

I absolutely love the 12 pro max. Battery life is amazing. I’m on 5G 99% of time and see a decent bit of UW as well. Makes it from 7am to midnight and past doing daily calls, nav, texts, etc. That’s all that matters to me. Never have to charge it throughout the day.

These Pro Max models truly have amazing battery life, beating out all the competitors

Not a fan of these YouTube click bait videos, agree with your comment though, in real world use, none of these android phones come close to the 11/12 pro max when it comes to battery life 😜🔋👑
 
5 months old and the battery is getting worse and worse. Went out for an hour walk this morning at 48%, listened to a podcast and surfed the net whilst out and got home and it was 19%. Awful stats now, as shown below.
