I upgraded to iPhone 13 max and seeing my wife's 12 max giving more battery life has me a bit stunned.
I managed to get her 12 to not have any background tasks running and could easily get 2 days of actual use. With my 13 I get one day and a few hours. Please let me know what I should turn off/deactivate to get better battery life.
I have turned off "find my" which I found to be the biggest culprit in iOS 14.8.
On 15.1 on the 13 I still see a background process running for "find my" so is there a new setting I need to turn off?

I. have 4 hours of screen on, Almost no screen off and am at 30% after 17 hours from last 100% charge. this si not bad but far from really good given the Max battery and what I read other get out of it. I have done a cold restart with no change.
 
17 hours continuous use with screen never off? - and down to 30%
No iPhone in past history could do that. It’s exceptional.
 
No it was 17 hours since charging and now at 30% left after 4 hours on screen time and 7 minutes off screen.
