Hello guys,

i own my IP13 Pro since yesterday and I’m off the charger since 8:48pm. Now im at 63 % with nearly 3 1/2 hour SoT and mixed usage (wlan, lte, streaming music in the car).

I switched from an IPhone 12.
 
13 Pro Max battery is insane. Unplugged my phone at 9am and went through a full day running errands. During the day, I constantly used my phone for streaming music, facetime calls, and tons of social media browsing.

I returned home at 6pm and my battery was at 76%.
 
I had a iPhone X and the battery was down to 80% capacity. I was frequently getting down to 20% remaining where it had been normal to not drop below 30% by bedtime. I bought a 12 Pro in January and frankly the battery was little better, struggling to get through a day. Normal "Screentime" reports were around the 4 hour mark. After three full days of use my 13 Pro has never dropped below 40% so far by Bedtime, even with an early start. Today I'm, at 3h 15m screen time but still have 68% left. Impressed so far.
 
Great battery life so far! Before anybody asks, yes i wake up for work at 3:40am 🤣. This is my graph showing my usage since Friday (launch day)

The 13PM battery life is so good I made a post about it lol.
1% of battery gives around 10 to 13 mins SOT.
 
I’m sitting at 53% at the moment. Not quite as good as some others are getting, I don’t think. Working out at about 7.75 mins of screen on time per %, not 10-13 as mentioned above.

This is for the 13 Pro Max.

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Unplugged my phone at 06:30am on Sunday morning (normal daily usage)

It’s now 19:38 on Monday evening and it’s just hit 20%

The battery in this phone is a beast compared to previous models ~ BRAVO!!

Too soon to tell. I’m starting from scratch so I’m downloading and setting up and draining the battery fast. But when I was just running around sightseeing and photographing things it seemed great.
I set my phone up as new as well. Everything else was transferred over iCloud. It’s going to take a week or so for the battery to settle in.
 
those graphs are so hard to compare yours to others here unless u are comparing them to yourself and your own usage patterns in my opinion

I’m doing very light usage. Nothing that has pushed the phone to even get warm or anything. Normal browsing… lots of static content which should preserve battery.

Just saying that my 13 Pro is similar. 1% every 5 minutes at night on average, might go up to 7-8 when browsing reddit in 4G. In daytime 1% can last even less, like 3 minutes. Standby time is fine. It's just when you do something it really chews up battery. It can still last me a full day but I expected more. Then if you stream video it's another matter. I saw a 1 hour Netflix movie in wifi and it only used 5%, it's really optimised for video viewing (probably something dedicated in the A15 and also dropping screen frame rate do 24Hz instead of 120Hz).
 
Haha i wake up and take my iPhone from its bedroom Qi charger, read newspaper for coffee, then put on the desk office Qi charger for the day, leave my work for evening and put my phone to its sofa’s Qi charger, to finish the day in bedroom, and again and again,

So i never below under 95% ^^

Convenient, but staying always with a charge so high will destroy your battery health in a matter of months.

Yep, charge my phone to full every morning, never leave it on the charger for more than 30 minutes once it’s full.
 
Installed 15.0.2 this morning, battery life still going strong, 13 pro max.

Take off 5 minutes because of the update lol.

50% 🔋 left, 7h40m usage. 👌


Could you please share your usage details with the app list ?
Your chart is amzaing. Yes it's a Pro Max but it's still a very very big battery life !
Almost 2 times mine on iPhone 13 freshly installed.
