iPhone 14 Pro 🔋🔌 iPhone 14 Pro - Battery usage thread

Can't decide wether to get the 14 Pro 256gb or get the bigger Pro Max model.

I have a 12 Pro Max, and not sure if I should downsize this time? I must say I do find the Pro Max sometimes uncomfortable to hold as I have small hands but I am scared that I am going to miss the bigger screen and battery...

My wife and I have had Pro Max phones since the 6+. Those that I know with the Pro phones (outside of these forums) do complain about battery life. My mother in law has a Pro and it definitely fits in the hand a lot better but she charges it a lot more and because of that battery health is a lot less than our phones.

I've debated getting a Pro as well. The way I look at it is - do you have an iPad? A Macbook? How much time do you spend on your phone? I rarely use my iPhone but I have an iPad mini and a MBP. My wife uses her iPhone all day long even when sitting at her MBP. She doesn't even think twice about a Pro Max. Me? I'm considering a Pro but I think I'd regret it.

I do use my phone a lot and I don't have an iPad. I have an MacBook Pro.
I think I may just go with the Pro Max tbh. Too many complaints about the battery life of the Pro....

That's my current state of mind as well. I held an iPhone 13 mini in my hand and the wow factor was high but I'm glad I went Pro Max. That screen, that battery life. Doing a full work day flight from 6am to 8pm and having 80% health despite using phone heavily on flight - that is worth it. lol. I no longer take batteries on my work trips anymore.

Doesn't mean I don't want a Pro :D. But I think it's the grass is greener on the other side syndrome more than anything. Tho if you update regularly, might not hurt to try 1 year :p.

Do you have a lot of things turned off to get that type of battery life?

Why???? Seems silly when paying all that money for a phone when you don’t use the key features.

The iCloud backup always on wifi is better why i will lose my cellular data for it?
I prefer to checking my mails manually

This setting will not effect the phone performance I tune low power mode if I need Without it i had 8 hours STO easily
 
This is my colleague battery chart. This is insane !

After 10months my 14Pro is at 97% battery health on iOS17 dev beta 1. Pretty decent.
 
Got my 14 pro shortly after launch, down to 92% unfortunately. Have AppleCare plus, wouldn’t surprise me if I hit 80 before the two years are up and need a battery replacement. This is with always on display turned off after my first couple of weeks with this phone.
