How has your battery life been?

The nearly 4000 mA battery has been amazing. I took it off the charger at 7:00AM on Saturday and used the iPhone sporadically throughout the day as well as on Sunday without charging the battery and I ended the night with 40% remaining. I think I had a screen on time of 7-8 hours. I can’t imagine what kind of battery life you would get when Apple releases their battery case.
 
It is just incredible! I pulled mine off the wireless charger at 5:50AM at 100%..I am on my way home right now at 6:23PM. I am at 70%, and I played the new Oceanhorn 2 during lunch today for a solid 60 minutes straight on almost full brightness.

I love this phone!!!

The battery is insane, previous phone was a Xs Max so I definitely notice the extra 5 hours. My Pro Max is now at 80% from a full charge at 5:01am this morning. Incredible.

The extra battery life is my favorite new addition. I love the camera improvements, but having a phone that lasts two days on a single charge is awesome.

4:26 minutes of screen time today (lots of web surfing and emails at 50% brightness) and still have 38% left. Bananas compared to the X even.
 
It lasts forever! Ok, maybe not forever, but I used it for two days before having to charge it. Normally my phone is nearly dead at the end of the day, but the pro max has plenty of life left still. It's one of the best features of the upgrade.
 
When people say "it's a 2 day phone", I always scratch my head. Why would you not charge it at night and risk running out in an emergency? I know all about the battery health and longevity thing, but going to bed at 70% and not charging it is so odd to me.

anyone use it for work, all day, emails, calls, web etc? really pushing it? if so what doe it look like at the end of the day? finally getting mine tomorrow!
 
Yeah the battery is really really good. Took it off the charger at 6:30 am. It’s now almost 9pm and I’m at 70%. I used it pretty heavy this morning at work streaming YouTube videos while working. Sent texts quite a bit. Not heavy use by any means but my old X would have been at 40% or so.

@tonybarnaby I always charge it when my schedule is more regular, but lately it's not. When my routines are disrupted, I forget sometimes. I wouldn't have avoided charging it on purpose, but I just forgot. It's nice to have the extra battery life for things like that.
