14 hours since charging and I’m at 58% battery life. Never had a phone with such crazy battery life before.

My 13 pro max is leaving my 12 pro max for dead, that phone was a battery champ as well.
59% 🔋left 6h42m usage,
When my 12 pro max would hit 50% I’d have roughly 6 hours usage.
The new BEAST on the block ain’t playing games.

This battery life is close to 3x what I could expect from my 6s Plus before I upgraded, especially with the brightness turned up. Very impressive.
I still wanna know everybody’s settings just make sure that it’s not the battery alone. Sometimes it’s software toggles.
No iCloud
Background app refresh off
Auto brightness off
Only some apps that need my location have access, only when using the apps.
What brightness level is your phone on?
My 13 pro max simply just refuses to die

left 6h42m usage,Wait I thought you weren’t upgrading? Lol
Yep, it’s a thing of beauty, hit 12 hours the other night before I gave up lol, still had 16% left.
I wasn’t, then talked myself into it lol.
Told myself if I sell my phone now, I’ll get more for it, than taking a bigger hit on it next year
13 pro max ended up costing me $750 in the end.
ProMotion+iOS+OLED is a game changer, can’t go back to 60hz.
I swear I’m not upgrading next year. 😂
You should, because it’ll help preserve the battery. Ideally, actually it would probably only ever charge the battery to 80%, but barring that it’s best to keep it topped up.
@Sammy in SoCal brightness looks fine to me, you mainly on WiFi of Cellular?
What usage are you finishing with?

I don't baby my iPhone since battery got good on iPhone (11pm/12pm) and now 13pm. I keep unnecessary stuff off. Like tracking and what not. Battery impressive indeed like no other on the 13PM.
The extra 500+ mAh battery doesn’t hurt either.
This thing is beating my M1 iPad 12.9” and M1 MacBook Pro lol.
Still got 40% left 😳
Either something is on that's not supposed to be on. Something running in the background. Or your device a brick. Schedule genius bar app and let them run some diagnosis.
I feel like I’m just not getting the same performance? Was at 100% last night at 9pm. Since then I’ve had 4h 45 mins of screen on time and 30m of screen off time, which was mostly music.
Background app refresh off for most apps. I did all the battery saving tweaks/toggles in location settings etc. I’ve been using it for extremely light things, brightness set between 30-50% and using Wi-Fi the whole time. I don’t have 5G either.
Battery is now at 62%. So nearly 40% drain for just that, when lots of you seem to be getting upwards of 7 hours on that amount of drain? I’ll keep monitoring and see how it goes… but even in that screen on time, my usage was extremely light. No games or anything that made the phone even slightly warm.
