Hmmm, I restored from an iCloud backup after updating to the latest iOS 15 so my issue may be different. Will report back.
Got a tip for us?

My battery today. Off charger at 6:02 am. Battery at 61% right now. Screen time 6 hour+
I'm in the same boat. I used the apple battery case for years on my Xs Max and have been worried about apple not making them anymore. I'm very relieved that the Max has been suiting me well and I haven't needed to charge it during the day.
I wish I was getting that. Lots of us here are getting only equivalent of 8 hours on a 100% cycle... even with very light workloads and hog settings off.My battery today. Off charger at 6:02 am. Battery at 61% right now. Screen time 6 hour+
Device to device transfer from 12PM to 13PM. Took 1 hour. I haven't had a fresh start on an iPhone since iPhone X....
Almost 8 hours of screen time and currently at 56%. This battery is a beast.
54% after 6,5 hours SOT - from 100% on morning to midnight - 75% brightness, LTE, NOTHING disabled, 3 bars reception. It's like with 3000 mah powerbank connected to it 😊

Guess no more power bricks required LoL
Nope. Pretty much all at default settings. Auto brightness or True Tone is on. Even using 5g while at work. Don’t watch many videos or play games. Just checking forums, reddit, email etc.
No idea 🤷♂️ Maybe because I’m on WiFi, indoors, brightness at 35%
Do you know if using 70% of max storage capacity will reduce battery life? I mean I have 4hr and 10 screen time with 60% left. It isn’t bad but nowhere near anyone else on this thread.
I’m using 70% brightness. Maybe I’ll go lower.
Why don’t you turn off stuff I told you that you don’t need? YouTube it. Many videos on it. That’s how I’ve learned a lot about iOS past few years.
storage will have no effect on battery life.
I’ve turned off some but the other users on this thread have it all on and are still getting stellar battery life.
I had a similar situation as yours until I put my 13 Pro Max in DFU Recovery and did a fresh install. Then I did the iCloud backup and my battery is great! I can’t say if you will have the same experience, but it’s worth a try before exchanging it.
I took my 13 Pro Max off the charger Monday morning at 6 AM. It is currently 9:30 PM Tuesday night. The battery life is sitting at 47%. Should I try and go an entire extra day without charging the battery? This is crazy! My old 6s Plus with 82% battery would barely last past lunchtime on Monday!
I don't have the Pro Max, but the normal 13 Pro is also very good. It's noticeably better than the 12 pro and inches out even the 11 Pro. I don't have battery anxiety anymore outside of special circumstances.
Took my 13PM off the charger at 9am and I hit 60% at 11pm. Mind you I would consider myself a heavy user.
Also worth noting by 2pm I was only at 90%.
This phone is insane and I can’t stress how much Apple outdid themselves with the battery. It was worth the upgrade for that alone if you ask me.
