i keep Both my regular and fast charger plugged in but only use the fast one if i really have to
I am 99% on giving the 11PM a chance. Battery life is a major factor for me. Between traveling, kids’ sports and now a boat.. I need all the battery life I can get.
I have never given the Max a chance but I think I will this week. I also skipped the previous max for the RF issues. Hoping those are fixed.

What improvement battery life is still very poor try max brightness and fortnight it lasts only 2 hours
Things to keep in mind.
- The new phones take time to optimize after a fresh setup / install. If you installed a few applications that tend to do lots of background processes (example - google photos that syncs in background), it can take a few days for things to settle down
- We often don't see the best battery performance on the version of iOS that is released with the new phone.
- While we are not in winter, climate and operating temperature will impact battery. My phone use in air conditioned or cool outdoor temps (Minnesota) are going to be far different than someone doing similar daily screen activity in high heat.
- Lastly, most people comparing to the Max (including myself) are comparing a new phone with a device that is 1 year old.
upgraded from a Xs Max and the battery life on this Pro Max is ridiculously good.
Stop lying
i had my phone on full brightness most of the day and got over 6 hours screen time and still had 30% come time I went to bed.
I wouldn’t expect any additional increase next year due to the addition of 5G and additional sensing tech. I think Apple will do there best to make sure it doesn’t regress though.
I hope you can turn off 5G and get excellent battery life. 5G doesn’t interest me.
He’s not lying. If you read his post he said full brightness with fortnight, a graphics intense game which chews through your battery. 2 hours is no surprise to me
so I got my phone late saturday night. i didn't take it off the charger until the next morning when i went to work.
off charger at 945am yesterday. died today at 1239 pm. i use low power mode the majority of the time, and low screen brightness. i change those up when i need to do something on my phone. i believe it said i had 16-17 hours of screen time. i sell phones so i had to use my phone a ton.

what i will try to pay attention to is how fast streaming video eats up the battery, as previous phones get killed by doing so. i dont game on my phone at all.

Kind of funny how last year the "cheap" XR was the battery champ, but now you have to pay top dollar for that privilege.
The Pro Max has the best battery life of an iPhone so far, I can't wait for witnessing the ultimate battery life when Pro Max smart battery case come out!
Remember when checking for screen on time, the phone shows the last 24 hours of screen on time. So the number you’re seeing might carried over from yesterday, before you charged it.
I’m very interested in the 11 Pro Max battery life. That’s my number one concern when buying a new phone. Can anyone post some screenshots of your usage times?

Probably MUCH better than my sucky 11 Pro. Mine lasted 8 hours the first day at 50% brightness. 🤦♂️
8:30AM it’s not almost 10PM.. 5 hours SoT. Bunch of background streaming though. Sitting at 30%.
is there a wya to see since last full charge? I went and did the math going through the hours to make more accurate to when I took the phone off at 100% because I tend to always have it on some sort of charger

Battery life is spectacular. Last time I charged my phone was yesterday afternoon, now it’s 10:44pm and I’m at 1% lol
