iPhone Air iPhone Air battery life screenshots thread

So far all is fine regarding the battery (and everything else also by the way 😄). I never use Low Power Mode, always charge it till 100%, I’m getting similar battery life as my iPhone 16 Pro when I bought it a year ago. Which is impressive because iOS 26 is a battery drain!

This would translate to almost 11 hours of screen on time.

What wallpaper do you use ? Because i have 10% usage of homescreen/lockscreen for 30 minutes.

Do you have a ads blocker for safari ?
Because i have 12% for 33min in safari - so it is 24% for hour - you have 12% for hour.
Do you use a dark mode all the time ?

My safari says 6:28h for 47%. Dunno if that’s good bad or normal. I use 1blocker ad blocker.

I have a normal static wallpaper downloaded from the Backdrops app. For Safari I use AdGuard as blocker. And I only use dark mode in the evening from 19:00 till 09:00.

Turned off background refresh for apps and keep one weather widget with turned off location and my battery is almost doubled... So I will turn on one widget or one app bcakground refresh by day a will test what app or widget cause battery drain...

Homescreen / lockscreen has 15% for 30 min before - now is 15% for 2 hours (And now I have 20% for 3:34 hours - just set "never" to lockscreen and let Air in homescreen for testing purpose...)

Even coming from a iPhone 15 pro max I’m more than happy with the battery life.

Is anyone seeing an improvement in battery life with 26.1?

 

[imp3rator]

Yes me after few days of update.
For me its almost “doubled” compared to first month of use.
Only tweak is allow only first 15 most used apps in background refresh settings

Wow. Double is very impressive!

Yes. I found out that 12% is maximum for 1 hour of safari or facebook - 9% for 1 hour of instagram - and 6% for hour of telegram. Mostly on wifi but during day using carplay 1 hour…

I have weird high usage of lockscreen/homescreen in past - also high usage of whatsapp in background (so i close whatsapp after use and turn off background refresh) higher usage of background of photos app (force restart can help)

I turned off raise to wake.
Now I am absolutely satisfied with battery life

Yep. Anything that keeps a sensor running in the background for things like raise to wake, are a waste of battery life.
