Nice! Mine comes today. I’m coming from a 7 with an 80% capacity battery. Very much looking forward to the Xr’s battery life!
 
Welcome to the world of large phones with large batteries. Drinks to your left, dancefloor to your right.

The iPhone Pluses have always had great battery life, the XR builds on that,.

Not surprised at all. It’s a 720p screen battery should be good
Oh no not again

Its a fact lower resolution display will yield better battery life...........Sorry but a 2600 mAh is pretty small for a 6.1 display.

when I unboxed this phone at around midday it had roughly 70% battery left. It’s now 9pm here and I’ve used this phone a hell of a lot today and it’s still only on 42%.

Very happy about this. What are others experiencing?

But, its all really the same if you think about it. I have the max and mine last's all day. I am a heavy user. 7am-10pm (8 hours of screen time) regardless of what percentage you have left when you go to bed. You have to plug it in. So as long as it last's till you go to bed you're good. No one is going to leave it not charging when they go to bed cause they have 40% left. Then you're screwed the next day. So when it all comes down to it, all of ours will last a day for what we need it for.

except you tweekers out there that need all night coverage, then XR is your phone...:)

iPhones 6, 7 and 8 have a 326 ppi display and the battery life on those is complete trash.

I don't think you can compare Android battery capacity vs. battery life to that of iPhones...
Trash? (Keep in mind, those also have smaller batteries compared to the Plus versions, as well as XR, X, XS, XS Max.)

You'd be surprised.

Will I receive notifications if I turn on power saving mode?
Notifications aren't affected by Low Power Mode (aside from push not being used for Mail).

Except it's 828p and the battery is just slightly under 3000 mAh


Do people just post random, incorrect 'facts' on this board and hope that no one notices just to prove their point?

It has a 2942 mAh battery, making it the second-highest capacity battery in an iPhone after the XS Max, which has a 3174 mAh.

For an iPhone, the Xʀ has a very big battery. Combined with the relatively low display resolution, it’s no wonder that it’s the battery life king.

I forget to charge my phones at night. But I don’t stress bc I am in the car a lot and have tons of lightning cables there. That said. The Max seems to have a great battery and my 8 is decent.

Mine is awesome also but I'm coming from a 6s Plus with the original battery.
