It will be my 3 day with iPhone 13 Pro and I can't see any improvements. Maybe people who say that baterry will have to week, two weeks to optimization, say true.
Got a tip for us?

I’ve had my iPhone for roughly almost 2 weeks. Maybe a week and a half and the battery sucked bad the first week. It’s getting better and better. I was only getting 5 hours of battery life. I was really worried at first. Now I get up at 5am and can watch YouTube all day. I head in to work at 5pm and sometimes I’ll throw about a half hour charge on it before work. I use my phone for texting and games at work a lot of the time. No charging at work. I get off work around 1am and my phone is still around 40%. Give it time.
Not sure this is true. I’ve had background refresh turned off since it came out, and I receive those notifications without issue.
I just looked it up and it seems that you’re correct.
“Background refresh enables all sorts of functionality that you would otherwise have to keep apps open to access. But what does background app refresh actually do? Here are some examples of the actions it handles without you having to manually check:
News apps grabbing the latest headlines so they're updated when you open them
Apps that track your data usage collecting information in the background
Cloud storage services syncing automatically
Grocery store apps detecting that you're at a store and readying the latest digital coupons
Social media apps like Twitter preloading the latest tweets so you don't have to wait for them upon opening”.
You have a regular non-Pro iPhone 13?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.
I thought so myself but wasn’t sure. I’m a very heavy user too. YouTube, this forum, games and more. I can play pubg for about 2 hours and only lose roughly 5% battery life.
Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Low Power Mode reduces the amount of power that your iPhone or iPad uses when the battery gets low.
If you want to stretch your battery life even further, you can turn on low power mode when you are sleeping and not using the phone. That is what I starting to do with my 13 Pro Max.
I’m wondering if you turn auto lock on the lowest setting. If that would help battery life as well. I noticed in that apple support doc you shared. It turns auto lock on after 30 seconds.
Playing video games in low power mode works really well for 60fps games. The A15 is a beast.
Ok, I will waiting for optimizing
But one more question - do you have any techniques to optimize battery? I read that some users charge battery only between 20-80%, only overnight.
Ok, I will waiting for optimizing
With the new batteries you don’t really have to do that anymore. You can charge your battery whenever you want. To any percentage you want. Just don’t let it sit at 100% for a long time. Of course there are still people who will say only charge between 20 and 80%. I suggest using the function built into iOS that lets your phone learn from how you use your phone and when you charge it in battery settings. So it doesn’t sit at 100% when asleep.
Great, even more reasons to turn all of them off.

You can use the shortcut app to create an automation that enables low power mode whenever the battery charge goes below a treshold.
Why don't let battery at 100% for a long time? When I had iPhone 11 I charged battery every night to 100% that 100% for sure stayed a few hours.
I believe that next days, next weeks will better

I’m not too sure honestly. Maybe heat?
Maybe
I will stay with your words - I will keep calm and I will still waiting for battery optimization.Should be more than 6 hours of screen time with 14% left
Very stressful day for the battery:
Gps for half an hour, almost 1 hour of video call, about 20 photos taken, social media and so on…

Despite my complaints around here about iPhone 13 Pro battery life, earlier this week I charged up my 13P & 11P, unplugged and left them overnight. After 9 hours standby, the 13 Pro was at 98%; the 11 Pro was at 97%. This is the 13 Pro...
Well charged yesterday, after more than 9 hours is at 99%
After upgrade to 15.0.1 my battery stuck at 93% for 1 hour now and I'm still confusing about that. If 4-5 day from buy iPhone 13 Pro my battery start to learning optimizing - it seems good But I'will add post in next 7-8 hours how battery will drain.

Give it time, iOS lies to you for the first 5% when the battery is full-ish to give you an impression of a longer lasting battery. You’ll see that it will start going down soon
