Correct, watching a video online, it doesn’t go down to 10% on most occasions.
Never had a issue with percentage until I got my 13 pro max. 🤦♂️
Soon it’ll be new M1X MacBook Pro hype. 😃Yes I've moved on from the iPhone 13 Pro Max hype
Why does going to the gym make such a huge different in SOT for me?
On gym day: max 6-7h SOT. Nearly all on Wifi. At gym LTE with 25 min SOT + spotify (there was an update and it never drained too much battery for me). I get out of the gym with 35 min SOT and 94% (+60 min spotify) so no big drain at the gym.
On non gym days I get 9-11h easily with 97% on wifi (so maybe 5-10 min SOT on LTE)
Currently 1:45h SOT with 90% left.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I seem to be having major battery drain with no cell coverage. In this screenshot you can see that during this hour where I was mostly just using Spotify with my screen off, no cell coverage accounted for the vast majority of my battery drain.
The odd part is that I was on wifi the entire time.. is this normal?

It looks like what probably happened was that the phone was trying to search for a cell signal and that will definitely drain a battery fast. I have not seen something like that before.
I just find it odd that my phone would use all that battery searching for service while i’m on Wifi and clearly not in need of cellular. Seems like a bit of flawed design, but unfortunately nothing we as users can do🤷♂️ Wish apple would consider optimizing things like this

* today was so-so. was pretty much indoors most of the day. one of my enterprise apps i believe went a bit haywire hence the lower battery life. its really 8.5 hour SOT not 9.5 as it included last nights usage so had to subtract one hour.
* im going to unpair my watch and see how much it improves battery life

When I don’t start the day with gym. Just Wifi. On pair for over 10h SOT.
When I’m at the gym I can barely reach 6-7h SOR beside I just use it for 20-25 min at the gym. The drain begins after gym. My battery falls pretty quick after gym. Today at home 2h SOT and 90 (!!!) % left. And I used instagram and Facebook all the time.
Now 4h SOT with 60% left.
Why does my battery drain so much AFTER the gym? I go to work no different usage. At 60% battery I would now have 2:20h SOT instead of over 4h.

Hello! I use iPhone 13 Pro from tuesday and I have opinion about battery:
-if I run for example Facebook, Instagram, immediately 20-30 minutes battery drain about 1% per 5-6 minutes.
-if I run occasionally - battery drain about 1% per 10-15 minutes.
I only use 5G auto, occasionally couple with my Apple Watch 6.
Yesterday I made test about how long battery did in normal day. My score: 8h14 minutes SOT, battery droped to 12%. I think that is good score after 3 days but in my opinion software isn't good because battery can be able to drop immediately in fast way without any hard drain by apps.
Maybe battery will improvements a week, a two weeks - who knows

My is around 4-5% per 7hours without Wifi/cellular enable.
Not very good considering that you disable both wifi and cellular, did you do anything else to improve the battery life?
edit, sorry I missed your previous post.

Disable continuous location services for all the apps that have it not necessary and do the same for background apps.
I disabled Siri and Skype from background refresh. I think that battery is 2-3x better than battery in iPhone 11. Maybe is not perfect but for me acceptable, 3/5
For sure developers should catch eye on it.disable more, especially facebook and other social media.I disabled Siri and Skype from background refresh. I think that battery is 2-3x better than battery in iPhone 11. Maybe is not perfect but for me acceptable, 3/5
What is your drain overnight? Mines about 4% over 8 hours with wifi and cellular on. Is that what is to be expected. Some report 0% to 1% but how can that be possible?…
Mine was 7% tonight (8 hours) with wifi and cellular (dual eSim) on.
Most app location and background services disabled.
I consider this bad but it was also the first night.
If I disable background refreshing for Facebook/Instagram/Gmail etc. will I receive future notifications? Will it normally?
Probably not, but keep them on only if you need them.
I disabled them for FB, Instagram, Twitter... if I enter the app I see them.
Emails notifications are on instead because I need them!
5% or less in 8 hours is good to me.
If you turn off background refresh you won’t receive notifications until the app is opened.
Is this decent battery life? I don’t seem to be having problems. I get a full day of battery on 5G with my iPhone 13.
