The faceID technology is significantly more complex technology than the touchID. it’s basically a Microsoft Kinect crunched into that small notch. Think about that for a sec.

iPhone X Battery life is crazy on the X

This is with pretty decent usage.
Edit: Dark themes and wallpapers help a ton!
It completely escapes me why apple wouldn't do this. For battery and awe of pure blacks
I’m getting 12+ hours usage on my X (this is from the usage staristics from a full charge and no recharging in between)
I’m very impressed!

What % brightness are you hovering around, and LTE/WiFi/ mixed
And what are you doing on your phone during this time?
Question overload but
Curious

No worries:
Half brightness
Mix of music, surfing, email, photo/video
LTE/Wifi mix
True Tone off
Auto-brightness off
I think it’s the half brightness that’s helping tremendously.
Those results are ridiculous
Let us know if its consistently reproducible over time
U got the golden ticket!
Seriously!! Coming from a 6+ this has been an amazing upgrade. Loving this phone more and more everyday.
Hehe, thanks!
I’m usually pretty unlucky on battery life before...my iPhobe 6+ degraded to 70% capacity after only a couple of months.
I know it might not make a difference but I’m not charging overnight this time. I take it off the charger as soon as it reaches 100% and it seems to be improving. It might just be placebo but I’ll keep doing this for now...especially easier charging wirelesly.
The 8 Plus has stellar battery life. I thought my 7 Plus was good and it couldn't any better, but the 8 Plus proved me otherwise.
I was a bit concerned about battery life going from a 7 Plus to the X, but I needn't have worried. Well impressed.
I'm at 25% now on my iPhone 7 (with iOS 11.1):
Usage: 5hr, 7min
Standby: 13hr, 11 min
I am too an ex 6 Plus, 6S Plus, and 7 Plus user. Normally my 7+ was down to 30% by mid afternoon and in need of a charge. At 9:30pm I am still above 50%. Incredible!
It's funny how 6 hours is amazing to some people... Yet here I am with a 2 year old 6S+ and I get 10-12 hours usage time on it daily. The 8+ gets even more than that.
Nope, they stay new...no restoring from backup.
Restoring from back-up is now easier with iOS 11 where the new phone will ask you to put your old phone beside it and you’ll be able to migrate your old phone’s info to the new one. This is faster than restoring from iCloud.

6 hours is a little low IMHO. My X can last 12+ hours on a single charge (my iPhone X, I mean).
You do not get 12+ hours of usage time in the battery stats on the X. It's impossible unless you are listening to audio which is artificially increasing the number.
Yes, I was...i’ll provide a screen shot here tomorrow. Right now it’s charging.
My usage is a mixture of Web surfing, music, email and 1/2 brightness. I don’t know why people are only getting 6 hrs or less on theirs...are they running brightness full blast?
I had brightness all the way down, location off, no social apps, every app closed except messages, LTE off, Wifi on, and my phone could only get 7-8 hours... If I played music all day then it would show 12+ hours of use. But it's not really being used. I know I was on the phone for 1 hour 38 minutes, the phone was locked and on my desk with my earbuds in and the battery started on 78% and ended up to 38%.
You are adding confusion here. When we talk about usage, we mean the posted usage on the phone’s battery statistics regardless of use..and that includes music. It’s part of the usage of the phone.
Why turn off Wifi, LTE, etc. and not use the phone as intended...just to get actual usage statistics, you say? Nope... you have to have them on, use the phone, and yes listen to music and monitor the battery stats in Settings. That’s the correct way...no confusion, no mix-up.
