Apple iPhone 14 Pro review: new ideas in a familiar package
Animated notch, always-on screen and camera upgrade make a similar design feel fresh, but at high costwww.theguardian.com
Meanwhile I used almost 80% battery in 7 hours
They're talking about standby timeLeaving the 14 Pro flat on a desk for most of the day, the battery lasts about 39 hours with 5.5 hours of active use. Keep the phone in a pocket, which shuts the display off, and it lasts about 45 hours between charges.

My 14 Pro (non-max) battery life has improved. I turned off 5G which is disappointing since it’s supposed to have a more efficient modem. Where I live I have full bars of 5G and at work it’s 1-2 bars so it was draining fast at work. But, when I’m at home I’m on Wi-Fi so it doesn’t really matter. I’m getting around 10 hours of screen on time. Today I’m at 4.5 hours of screen on time with 65% battery. Glad I gave this phone some time because I was worried at first but it seems this will work for me. I also keep AOD on, only change I made was disabling 5G.
I agree with you. Those are heavily advertised features that are significant parts of the iPhone 14 Pro. I’d want to use 5G, and AOD, especially with the Live Widgets and Dynamic Island updates coming in iOS 16.1.Don't mean to pick on you specifically, but people need to stop saying their "battery life improved" after turning off key features. There's almost no point in having a 14 Pro if AOD and/or 5G need to be disabled in order to get decent battery life.
While I agree with you, Apple won’t be able to even fix issues if it weren’t for those people who take their time to test what’s causing those issues.Don't mean to pick on you specifically, but people need to stop saying their "battery life improved" after turning off key features.

That’s a fair take on this. However, I thought disabling 5G was a concession I was willing to take since the signal isn’t good where I work. The LTE signal isn’t any better but LTE seems to have much less battery drain. I will not turn off AOD as I like having it on.Don't mean to pick on you specifically, but people need to stop saying their "battery life improved" after turning off key features.

This is exactly that battery life I’m getting on my 14 Pro. I think it’s iOS 16, because my 13 Pro battery life took a hit when I updated (long after indexing), and I have more features turned off to save battery than I did on my 13 Pro, and I’m still getting this battery life. My 13 Pro was getting 8-9 hours of SOT before iOS 16. It doesn’t make sense how the 14 Pro can have worse battery life than the 13 Pro did if I turn off AOD. Compared to the 13 Pro specs, the A16 chip is more efficient, the 5G modem uses less power, and the phone has a bigger battery. Even Apple’s specs say the 14 Pro is supposed to last as long or an hour longer than the 13 Pro.Went from a 13 Pro Max to a 14 Pro to save my hands. I’m really missing the battery life. This can’t be normal, can it?

I thought about returning my 14 Pro for the 14 Pro Max, but I had a 13 Pro Max and I wanted to downsize this time. So, I'm most likely going to stay with the 14 Pro and hope that it's just a software issue. But, I can definitely understand not wanting to be stuck with a phone with bad battery life as that's one of my concerns as well. It's a tough decision though because I want to have a smaller device but the Pro Max offers that comfort with the additional battery life.This is exactly that battery life I’m getting on my 14 Pro. I think it’s iOS 16, because my 13 Pro battery life took a hit when I updated (long after indexing), and I have more features turned off to save battery than I did on my 13 Pro, and I’m still getting this battery life.

I love the Pro size, but I’m desperately looking for a 14 Pro Max right now because I can’t handle battery life this bad. I think Apple will fix iOS 16, but I don’t want to get stuck with a phone with this bad of battery life if they don’t. If it’s this bad in its first couple weeks of use, just imagine how bad it’ll be over time.
