I don't understand this logic. Being tethered defeats purpose of a mobile phone. Phone should not have been worse than its predecessor.

Ahhh, the old "can't afford it" retort. My nine year old uses that with his friends.
How about we try the following...A battery life test by Arun Maini of the YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss found that the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max had significant leads in battery runtimes compared to the newer iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have a 2,815 mAh battery, which is not only lower in terms of actual capacity than the previous generation but also powers larger and higher resolution displays leading to lower runtimes.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro's battery runtimes fail to impress when compared to the iPhone 11 Pro

First time a new phone had a much worse battery experience than its predecessor. Apple wisely wanted to sell as many of these as possible before the Max is released which offers decent battery life. 6 hours of battery life is a joke and that assumes you are not on 5G much.
The YouTube guy and all the other tech movie star wannabes can keep posting whatever clickbait revenue producing drivel they want, and me and those here who like to think for themselves, will make our own buying decisions as well as determining whether a phone is returned based on individual usage and not because YouTube, you or anyone else tells us.
Conference calls, Microsoft teams, zoom, Spotify, email, watching YouTube videos while working out for an hour at the gym, etc.
Really hard to break down specifically the amount of time spent but it’s also too early to say since it’s been only 1 actual work day of usage for me.
Over the weekend, Spotify. YouTube, photos, video, a few games, social, email, FaceTime, etc averaging 6.5 hours of on screen time.
But for sure I don’t just use my phone to look at the battery life

At least your nine year old isn’t posting these weak threads on iPhone forums.
I was talking about mrwhoestheboss’s test. Where he made sure everything was consistent across the board (battery health, screen brightness, etc...h
this was the main reason I left my iphone xs. Hopefully a future software update fixes this.
Battery life has been more than sufficient for me. I’ve been finishing the day above 50%.
My phone hasn’t shipped yet so Apple has time to resolve this gate.
I’m sorry to say this, and I don’t mean to be offensive, but, did you read my post? That, whilst also adding that a looping test doesn’t represent real-world use.
I guess I don't understand why they would decide, after seeing 5G on Android devices, that smaller mAh was a good idea. First iteration of 5G, and they decided a tiny bit slimmer over increased battery was priority.
I know many will say it's just fine but the people coming from the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max will notice this immediately.

Why are posts like this not treated as spam and deleted? The moderation of this forum is bizarre.
It's a legit concern and discussion... but the video/article on how this youtuber did these "tests" is questionable and I doubt it will reflect actual real world performance.
Nothing like censorship to keep Apple fans happy. There are many discussing this concern. Apple put a smaller battery and now we have testing that shows 2 hours less battery life vs. iPhone 11.
It's because this thread is a hyperbole.
I not into many of these tech YouTubers but this guy is pretty good, I think so anyway. I only watch the occasional video here and there but I like his content. And he‘s a seemingly smart guy, we have no idea what his intention was with the name, maybe it was a joke, but the guy definitely isn’t stupid.
exactly! real world use, high use = a day.. . charge at night, no problems!
I’m not an Apple guy or an Android guy. I’ve used both extensively and I don‘t care what anyone says, using a smaller capacity cell from the previous year is unacceptable. Especially considering how great the reviews were on the 11 series last year. I can only dream of what a 4200 mAh cell would be like with Apple’s hardware/software optimizations. It just makes no sense why they take a step forward then do this. Hey, that’s just me, though.
