iPhone SE Battery Life Thread

Very impressed with the SE's battery life so far. 52 hours on standby with almost 7.5 hours use, mainly email, a few phone calls and streaming music via Bluetooth in the car.

I'm loving my battery life. Coming from an iPhone 5, where I had to recharge at work, the SE is luxury.

I'm at 36%:
Usage - 5 hrs, 13 mins
Standby - 17 hrs, 31 mins

My home and work I get 1-2 bars of signal, and I use some power hungry apps at times. I'm so happy I finally have an iPhone that will last me the entire day.

My first night with my new SE. I was connected to Wifi the entire time. I recorded a ton of 4K video.

Impressive, at least compared to my old 4S.

This is some amazing battery life! Most time mobile data was enabled, WiFi always on. No Bluetooth.

Do you know if you have a tsmc or samsung cpu your battery life sounds very good (of course depends on your type of usage...)
You can try with "cpu identifier" app

The CPU identifier states that I have the TSMC chip.

Just got mine on Sunday set up on an extra line on our account... sort of as the "House" phone for now. Anyway, I'm impressed. I've mostly used it for listening to music via the music app and SiriusXM. My main phone is a 6s+, but I'm loving this little one!

At 10% battery left, I'm in the 8-9 hour range. Is there something wrong with my phone or did Apple botch that number?
