iPhone 13 iPhone 13 - battery life thread [MEGA THREAD]

[iphone27s]

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.

To be honest I have had a iDevice that had the battery percentage stuck.
Make sure this is not the case.

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

After 3 hours battery droped to 85% with little Facebook and Instagram usage. Still battery sucks

 

[Demaker]

Few photos, little FB - battery drop to 80% I"ll give it time, maybe next week will be better.

Mine is the same. When using socials and scrolling it goes down 1% or more every 5 minutes

Last time the phone was charged to 86%, yesterday 8pm. I have started using low power mode when I put the phone down for the night. Turn off low power mode again in the morning. I can certainly go 2 days between charges. The short battery charges are from using CarPlay.

I was kinda impressed yesterday. Charged it up to 95% at 9 am (in the train) and used it all day for video, phots and navigation. At 6:40 pm I had still 33%

Since how many days did the battery start behaving like this?

Idk since Friday. I‘m in Germany and rose up at 2 am to watch the Rams @ Seahawks game and had 35% brightness and got 2h SOT with 93% battery left. The most used apps was like Facebook and instagram. I managed to get through the day from 2 am to 9 pm with 30% left and 6h SOT.

Here is my Day from yesterday. Notice I charged it up twice. 1. from 88% to 95% and 33% to 45% with my MagSafe battery pack but honestly I just wanted to try out the battery pack (got it 3 days ago). Would have made it through the day)

These results are good I think. I'm still waiting for more improvements my battery I don't know why often Facebook, Instagram, camera, Gmail drain battery 1% per 5-6 minutes - I think that it's too fast.

Facebook, Instagram and Gmail aren’t optimised very well. The camera will drain because it’s using a lot of processing power even just on the viewfinder without taking an actual photo.

this isnt showing much... you recharged the phone a bunch of times in a 24 hour period... no additional details were provided such as screen on time per app... this is a meaningless screenshot

13 Pro 20% remaining
7.5 hours screen on time. draining to 0 would make it to 8.5 hrs screen on time
I was out most of the day with a mix of wifi and 5G. I was in an area with low cellular signal as well. Took a good number of photos and videos too.
Streamed a live PPV Deontay/Wilder fight while as a passenger in a moving car.
Overall I am satisfied with the results. Used the phone quite a bit throughout the day and lasted until very late into the evening. This phone is a keeper, as long as Apple fixes standby drainage when paired with an Apple watch.

What I typed didn’t post for some reason. Will the screen on time reset or do I need to use my phone for a full charge to get my actual battery strength.

Google maps usage is 21 minutes on screen, 2 in background.
I was not using GPS, isn’t a bit too much?

Also a 8% night drain in almost 10 hours today, only app active during that time is Siri, but I have disabled hey siri…

This is the third night for the phone

need to do a full charge and start from scratch. make sure you enable full details so we can see actual screen on time usage per app.

this isnt showing much in terms of actual app usage and screen on time per app.

Mainly safari, bit of YouTube. 😁

I've been somewhat disappointed with the 13 Pro battery while I was on a work trip, but now that I'm back home, I can see why people say the battery is great.

I had 3h 30m SOT and 1h Background Usage yesterday (mostly on wifi, with lots of browsing and looking at photos) and ended the day with roughly 60% left. Cellular data, GPS and camera usage made a big impact, when I had similar SOT (but with Google Maps and Camera usage) a week ago during travel, I was at around 40%.

Definitely alright for me, my previous iPhone X didn't even manage to last me a whole day while travelling (although, granted, the battery health was only around 85% by the time I traded it in).

Where you in a 5G area?

 

[John981]

No, my contract doesn’t even include 5G. I‘ve also turned it off in the settings. I think it was mainly my habit of excessively taking pictures when I‘m in a new place.

So this morning I pickup my phone and it has 33% battery left. I pull up the battery report and it showed that I my Honda Link app had been running continuously in the background over night. I deleted that app. I was shocked because I put the phone in low power mode and was expecting maybe 3% battery used, not 20%.

 

[cambookpro]

I'm pretty consistently getting 4-5 hours SOT. Doesn't feel amazing - connected to WiFi most of the time and not massively heavy usage (mainly Safari/Twitter).

Given the assortment of apps people report draining battery (especially location-related), I think it's likely there are some fundamental iOS issues that need to be fixed. It's possible that some apps are misbehaving, but I've read a lot of threads with different apparent culprits...

If you are to using a ad blocker, some websites, like this one, will cause the phone's battery to drain more.

Since I have had my 13 Pro Max, which I received 9/24, this is the first instance of a bad battery drain issue. I have been able to get 2 days between battery charges consistently.

Very obvious battery drain, all that light blue was from the Honda Link app which is now deleted off my phone.
