Oh, I’m coming from iPhone X - but I didn’t want to compare, I just said I’m getting a day and a half easily with some nice usage.
As for 5G, I agree - however, that’s how that technology is. I dob’t think there is a phone out there that doesn’t have bad battery life when using a lot of 5G. Also, Apple went overboard with advertising 5G, it was really annoying. Even if I had 5G here, that would be the least interesting feature for me.
Also, it seems 14.2 has some battery issues - I haven’t noticed them myself, but maybe that’s also a culprit?
