Does anyone know why my battery page doesn’t include screen off time? Is the screen running down battery even when it’s off?
Got a tip for us?

I really really wonder about it. 13 Pro is my first Pro over the years. I had 11 and battery life was okay. I want to be sure that my battery is at the max potential. So, I want to do what you did. Not going over 80 but like
this messages make me throw all the thoughts away 😂. How can a battery simply be this different ? :/
I am going to follow the 80/20 rule for charging. I just got myself a HomeKit smart plug and going set it up to stop charging at 80%.
That’s even a bit better than what I’ve been getting from my 13 Pro Max in time / percentage terms…
I think I would get the 13 if it had the ProRaw image format. I noticed with my 12PM that the HDR 'effect' of the camera and math exposing for the entire scene was pretty aggressive in the 12PM. I tried turning everything off it still exposed for the entire scene, leaving images looking flat..and often skies looking not realistic. Luckily, a guy on YT taught me that using the ProRaw format solves this.. but the 13 doesn't have ProRaw format.
I went to a store today and checked out all the models and LOVED the size/weight of the 13. However, I have to have ProRaw as I just can't stand the effects applied when not using it. I showed an Apple employee an example.. the iPhone Pro was able to expose for a scene beyond what our eyes could see. We were in a less lit store.. and there was a gap of very bright light.. the 13 Pro was able to 'show' clouds in that bright area that we could not see with our actual eyes. Cool and all but I don't like my photos this way.

13 Pro. I opened the box Monday evening and did iCloud restore. It’s been almost 36 hours. Laat night I went to bed %100 but this morning I saw that it lost %13 all night due to photos and find my. Do y’all think it’s a problem or does iphone still trying to restore something from icloud?
edit: I just restarted my phone and went %81 in a second. I think I’m gonna cry.
I think I’m gonna wait a couple of days until I go mad and take this to Apple Store. Now I started to think iCloud restore was a bad idea or so…

My screen on time was okay for the first day but the loss during the night creeps me out. Like how did I loose that much?
That’s what I see and experience so far. Should we just erase and start from clear install? can iCloud restore have a problem? Or does it take a couple days to iCloud restore make everything just fine?My battery stats just seem completely borked too…
I was getting this with a fresh install initially… then I did a reset and restore again to see if it helped and it didn’t, unfortunately.
See below? Just nonsense. Apple Store and Mail on screen 1 minute each, Tapatalk 17m on screen… yet Tapatalk has 0% usage, Apple Store 60% and Mail 40% during the latest hour.
Ugh.. I went to bed at 98% and now I’m at 89% with 31 minutes incredibly light usage this morning. I hate this phone.
Exactly! I did sleep with %100 woke up with 87. Off/on it went 81. Charged back to 95 and left the house. Now I’m on 79 with a higher usage of spotify and a little bit safari to read this thread.I was getting this with a fresh install initially… then I did a reset and restore again to see if it helped and it didn’t, unfortunately.

I saw a pretty similar drop this morning with the same kind of limited usage. I've had the phone for 5 days now and I would have thought all the initial background stuff would be done. It doesn't feel warm, so doesn't seem to be rogue processes. I wonder if it's an iOS bug, but it seems some are having no issues.I was getting this with a fresh install initially… then I did a reset and restore again to see if it helped and it didn’t, unfortunately.

Yeah… iOS bug would be ‘perfect’ as we’d know it would be fixed in the very near future, which wouldn’t feel that surprising as I think iOS 15 has been rushed out a bit with a lower number of headline features etc due to work from home issues at Apple.
But at the same time… what if it is some hardware issue affecting a small % of units? I’m a bit worried about that…
Oh god please no. my heart can’t take any hardware issues 😞
Managed to get 8 hours screen on Time yesterday with about 15% left. Not on target as previous days but still very good. I don’t think I could use a phone for 10+ hours even if I tried
That sounds good. Which apps did u use? Yesterday I got 4:55h SOT with 39% left. 95% on Wifi
My main apps were twitter, Tapatalk (which is what I use for these forums pretty much when on my phone) Reddit and just the odd sports apps. So mainly twitter, Tapatalk,Reddit are my main apps
Looks like you were well on the way for 9 hours as well if you ran it down
