iPhone 11 Pro How is the 11 Pro Max battery life?

My batteryhealth is down to 98% already. It's droppd 1% a week the last two weeks. When I handed back my Xs Max last month, it was at 99% after a year. Trying to get the device swapped by Apple.
I doubt they will allow you to do that. Nothing is wrong most likely, it’s just how it goes with lithium ion batteries. Some come with more than 100%, and some come with less. You may have gotten one with a little less and now it’s leveling out. It won’t keep dropping 1% per week.
They had no issue swapping it, said it was a bit unusual to see it so low so soon.
Had a few other issues with the original such as not charging intermittently and extreme overheating. Thought I’d ask but they were happy to swap!
One of the very best at customer service.
not sure if there's a separate thread for iphone 11 pro, just wondering how's the non max version battery life doing for everyone? =)
Just got the iPhone 11 Pro (not max) couple days ago, feel like it’s not been amazing on battery life as everyone else’s? Is this good or bad? I’m now on 20%
You’ve been using all the battery intensive apps non-stop for hours and that’s on a 3G. I’d say you got your money’s worth on the 11 Pro.
Perfect example:
Several posts ago, I said this:
“Thing is, on some occasions it is either impossible to get a “working number”, or you can get a rough estimate that will be almost surely off, because people don’t share accurate numbers with this new system (I assume it is because they don’t really know how it works, or because they can’t bother to do it properly).
For example: you unplug your device at 7 am and upload a screenshot - and only a screenshot - at 8 pm. You say “I got 5 hours”, but that includes the last 24 hours. Now, I can add up the last 13 hours, manually (and get a rough number, because I have to estimate the result from some bars, and that has a margin of error). That’s all I can do - and it will be the most accurate method - but there is another problem:
If you unplugged it two days ago, and share the same “last 24 hours” screen, the number I get is useless.
If you share the last 10 days, and you unplugged it two days ago at 8 pm, the number I get is useless, and I will have to either: not take into account the day you unplugged it at 8 pm, because it will include your prior usage on that day, potentially not including your usage 20:00-00:00; take it into account, potentially adding that prior day time, which isn’t accurate, because it isn’t included in the cycle.
I can get a rough number, but there is a difference between 4h 45 minutes with 50% remaining, and 6.5 hours with 50% remaining.
You either add everything up yourself, hour-by-hour, and share that number (that’s what I do), or share something either a little inaccurate, or totally useless.
Apple’s new system sucks because nobody shares it correctly. They just throw a screenshot that may or may not be useful.”
On the screenshot I quoted, it was unplugged on Wednesday at 5:22 PM. I can add the time of each day roughly: total of =~ 9 h 20 min. Now, on Wednesday it shows around 4.5 hours.
How many of those 4.5 hours were included on this cycle? Adding it all up might be incorrect, not adding it might be incorrect. I have no way of knowing if the total time was 9.2 hours... or 5 hours.
9.2 hours is good, 5 hours is horrible. Which is it? I don’t know.
Yes! You have to calculate it by the time you unplug the device. That is what i did
This is very true! Another easier way to do this is to turn off screen on time and back on again when you unplug it at 100%. Then it starts calculating from that point on.
It has a bit more juice left at the end of the day compared to my Note 10+.
What is your average brightness during that 7 hours ?
I get 6-7 hours with 70% remaining but with average 25-40% brightness during day in iPhone 11.
Anyway I get maximum of 4 hours of iPhone 6s with new battery, so battery life is monster for me.
In the end of the day I have 50% battery (max. 30%).
I didn't charge second time during day since I have it.
Hi I don’t know what I should say about the battery. Maybe I had to high expectations? I always read 12-14h sot and I thought that’s my dream phone idk. It’s not bad but on a work day I don’t feel that much different. I‘m sitting at 57% with around 5h SOT. Yes I get 10h but how is everybody getting 12-14h? I wake up around 5:30 am and now it’s 8 pm so around 14-15h now. I use Facebook Instagram, offline music, Snapchat, news and Tapatalk. From the 5h sot around 4:15 were with WiFi (very good LTE) and 45-60 min LTE with 2 of 4 signal. Is it because I don’t use it constantly? At work I use it for 10-20 min every hour. So every few minutes I read the latest news for 1-3 min and then turn it again off.
background app refresh is off however i got background activity from Snapchat, WhatsApp Instagram (I used Snapchat for 20 min but run in the background for 50 min) is that the problem? How can I fix it ?
