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

These are, of course, laboratory ratings, and don't match how we use our devices, but one YouTuber did an impressive test of iPhone battery life comparing iPhone 13, 12, 11, and SE models in continuous use. The iPhone 13 Pro got over eight hours in continuous usage, and the 13 Pro Max lasted for just under 10 hours.
The Music app shows 1 minute background activity. I don’t think it’s calculated under SoT.
But it’s not replicative of real-world usage. If it takes into consideration of the phone in standby, it would have lasted longer on a single charge. But nonetheless, 10 hours of continuous SoT is pretty outstanding.
It’s not even funny anymore. Look at how the 13 PM is destroying the S21 Ultra beside it. All these battery life flexing is really tempting me to go for the 13 PM from my 11 PM.
I would think the music app should be calculated in the off-screen time.
The 13 Pro Max is really an amazing phone.
13 Pro Max, 63% 🔋 left, off the charger at 5:38am, 5h38m usage. 👑🔋😎

Unbelievable numbers. How do the competitors even try now.
The more apps you have on Android, the worse it is.
It can be night and day depending on how many, which apps and if you are logged in.
You mean they can somewhat drain battery even if they’re not running in the fore/background?
Android operating system as a whole isn’t efficient, it always has stuff running in the background, apple has optimized iOS to be a efficient beast.
That’s why you always see people with android phones disabling or tinkering with 200 settings so they can get better battery life.
I’m going to get a 13 Pro tomorrow when I head down to collect my S7. If the 13 Pro has a comparable battery life to my 11 PM when it first came out, I think I’ll get it. If it can’t then I’ll go with the 13 PM probably. My only gripe is the large camera bump. Apart from that it’s a perfect phone.
Honestly 13 Pro series are going to be one of the most under-appreciated upgrades we ever had when we look back at it few years later from now. I say this because there are people who says this is a “small” upgrade from the 12 Pro series. Seriously?

It's not that they can, most of them do, especially social network.
They earn money on collecting data.
Nah there is 1 min by background activities from Music app.
So 19 SOT is still accurate
Charged to 100% at 8pm.
Used for about 20 minutes.
94% left at 9.25am
Finally good battery drain overnight.
@The_Smarti very good overnight drain
