No, this is like a 15+ year old outdated battery technique you'd use to get a proper reading on dumb NiCad or NiMH batteries with no onboard circuitry to read capacity. The only thing you might want to do for modern smartphone batteries is try not to let them dip below 20% often and try to keep it cool-ish while charging. They've got chips attached to properly regulate and report charge levels to the OS and you don't need to prime or calibrate them.
You don't need to babysit your percentage or do any weird charging stuff, just use the phone and charge it overnight / when you need it. Use Apple's optimized charging, too. Worse comes to worse you pay like $80 for a battery replacement in 3-4 years.
theoretically no, it's even worse when you let them go under 20% as it stresses them
I do think at 100% it seems to stay at that number for a bit too long, surely it's used some! I am trialing a usual WFH day but using cellular not wifi. Currently at 1hr SoT with 82% battery remaining.
Also, does anyone find the left side of the phone gets quite warm when using the camera / portrait mode. Is this just the CPU ramping up?!
So I just played a 1h long Netflix movie on wifi. It went from 90 to 85% battery with audio at minimum and auto brightness around 35%. So it seems in line with the advertised 20h of video streaming playback. If others use it for "light" tasks like this I feel much higher SoT are attainable. I'm starting to think my 13 Pro is fine. It's just that in 4G and doing more intensive tasks is really taxing on the battery.
My phone has been draining quite a bit overnight too compared to my previous 12PM. Went from 100% --> 88% (I always take my phone off the charger and keep it near me when I sleep). Hopefully it's because the phone is still new and it's still running a lot of background processes.

Today’s drain. Been working most of time, only light use looked few messages, few facebook and one short video. Cammon, as reading others having similar issues. Again iphone 6S its a 6year old phone can do better..
The issue is standby not usage… i could disable mobile network for night while sleep to test if that does anything.

Those are really great numbers. Good to see another Chess(dot)com addict. I don't have that much screen-on usage but I did not charge my phone over night as I normally do and I am still at about 65% battery. I am going to wait for it to go down to 25% before I charge it again.
I must admit that I don’t completely understand what the screen-off number means. Is that saying that your phone was active with the screen off? When would that ever happen?
Sunday was an anomaly as I was running the Twin Cities Marathon. I carried my phone with me the whole way. It must have been doing screen-off activity then. As I said, I don’t completely understand what it could be doing.
I have been addicted to chess.com since discovering it. It is neat to be able to play real ‘human’ players who are at your level from all over the world. I can’t seem to climb above the 1000 rating for any good length of time.
. It’s all fun, though.I have had a problem staying up too late on a work night playing chess.
Had the same problem with this specific site, losing a bit over 25% in an hour and 20. Don’t stay on this site too long!What kind of battery life are people seeing on their new iPhone 13 Pro?
I’ve lost 50% of my battery life in barely 2 hours (it also it quite warm to the touch). All I’ve been doing is looking at the MacRumors website.
The only issue with using the 10 day graph, is that it does not show when the phone was being charged. You could be charging your phone while using it and the graph would show that as on-screen time. The 10 day graph can be misleading like that. The 24-hour graph can give a more accurate picture of usage.
So if I read all of this correctly, it seems the 13 pro max is having batter issues and not significantly better than the 12 PM?
Listening to music or a podcast would be one example. Getting GPS directions would be another.
The majority of my current use case is with the screen off.
That is a good point. For me, I only charge my phone when I am sleeping (except for the first day I picked it up when it needed to be charged mid-day).
My wife's 13 Pro Max is trouncing her 12 Pro Max (93% capacity when she sold it). Like it's not dropping below 80% on a normal day for her where her 12 Pro Max would be below 50%. <shrug>
