iPhone 13 Pro Max The battery life on the 13 Pro Max is utterly insane.

Stopped using Spotify today and voila. Sitting at 50% battery left with 13PM.

I think I might contact Apple support, this has the same battery life as my 3yr old Xs max. Something isn’t right. I hope

You guys are always sending screens of the 24h. Someone posted 7h SOT with 56% but thats including the SOT before charging. Go to the day section and select today to get the right SOT for ONE day

 

[advan031]

Here sitting at 44%

This is a bit better, if the next incremental update doesn’t fix the battery issues I guess I will do an iCloud restore. 7hrs with 25% left is ok. No intense usage or 5G.

Do y’all not have any responsibilities? Lol sheez

Listen friend, battery testing is extremely draining work.

Professionals at work here!

I personally don’t think you need a reset those are still some great numbers. I know it’s hard not to compare to others but people do have different usage.

i finished yesterday on 8 hours with about 10% left on my pro max

I've been using Safari in bed for about 50 minutes since I woke up and battery went down to 98%

Impressive!

People are forgetting brightness is one of the biggest battery drainers out there, anything over 35% you'll notice a decent drop in battery life.

I’ve been running 35% the vast majority of the time :/

I'm living dangerously, running at 40% now lol.

On track for 9-10 hours on LTE, impressive.

I agree, I need to stop obsessing over this and now I know each battery isn’t the same like with usage and drain. As long as I can get 8hrs, I will be fine which I am getting.

It’s so hard to use it that low, the display is so nice at full brightness especially compared to the Xs series that I owned before. I’ll try today with 50% max while I’m inside and 80% while out doors.

I am using dark mode on, all the time, with lower brightness the display is still very readable.

What makes this so much more impressive is those who posted their battery life when they don't charge to 100%. The person who posts 10hr SOT with 30% left, they started with 20% less battery. I have constantly been able to go 2 days between charges. And that is with reaching 20%. Sometimes it goes longer which is insane.

I don't know what you guys are doing or what settings you have but my 13 Pro Max doesn't seem to have anywhere near the type of battery life everyone is posting in here.

The last three days are usually:
- 6.5 hours screen on time
- 55% battery usage
- Wifi 90% of the time as I'm working from home. 5G Auto on 2 days and 4G yesterday
- Screen brightness 40-50%

Very similar story here on my end

Funny enough is that you are getting better battery life than me and I have 5G off. I am chalking it to IOS15 bugs and it is hard not to obsess over since you see the battery % go down every 3-4 minutes.

But I turned off background app refresh for a lot of apps, so hopefully something noticeable. Maybe when I'm at 30% battery life, I can have 8hrs of usage. I do notice a subtle but steady drain when not in use.

Good to hear I'm not the only one with "average" battery life. Having said that, the 13PM is easily better than 12PM and easily the same (if not better) than the 11PM and we all know the 11PM was a beast.

I don't have background app refresh on at all.

I also have toggled using mobile data for iCloud uploads to off. I used to have that on the first 2 days of getting the 13PM and it would keep uploading photos and videos when I'm out and about.

Maybe try using a screen brightness of around 35% max. I am using around 35% brightness. See what that does for you. 6.5 hours and 55% battery left, that is pretty good battery life.

13 Pro user here so the smaller battery is definitely noteworthy, but wow I'm floored at the sheer difference in battery experience I'm having to some of you. I wish I was getting the same incredible numbers but I can't stop noticing sharp decreases in battery every time I use my phone. Going to contact Apple support tomorrow and hopefully can get some sort of solution

I feel like they will tell you to do a restore and can’t or won’t do much. Since a battery test probably won’t show much on such a new phone.

Is this pretty good battery life you think? 3 hours and 45 minutes screen on time today with 70% battery left? Kind of intermittent use though as I was working all day. This is the regular pro.
