Since I last charged my phone, my phone screen was on for 5 hours 15 minutes and 53% battery is still left. It means I will get around 10 hours and 30 mins SOT on my iPhone SE 2, which is incredible. Yes I’m on low power mode but still over 10 hrs SOT is unbelievable. Remember i have been continuously connected Bluetooth and watched a cricket match for 1 hr and 30 mins. I think beta 3 improved battery life significantly.
I have an 11 pro max which I bought back in October 2019. It’s still at 100%. This is what I’ve done theoretically to help keep it There. Basically in a nutshell Ive done little to heat up the phone. I’ve used 5w charging the entire time. I don’t game on the phone(that’s what I have my iPad for), or usually anything at all that’s processor intensive. I don’t have Twitter, Facebook, instagram or any social media on there but I recently in the last month acquired tik tok. Background refresh is off. When I’m not using WiFi or Bluetooth those are off. When I’m not navigating my location services are off. If you’re not doing anything that processor intensive you should try low power mode here and there. Some people stay on low power mode even if they’re above 80%. They say their battery life almost doubles. With iOS 14 I haven’t yet delved into using any widgets except the ones that come with it when you swipe all the way to the right. I’m not sure if the widgets constantly updating are draining things faster. Someone who knows more can chime in. Last thing. Check your email. How often is it fetching. Adjust that if you don’t get a lot of important emails.
Are you ok? I guess someone Can find anything to get aggravated about. This was not for you. Obviously these ideas are for the people who are having battery drain issues. Maybe the next update will help to clear that up. In the meantime they can do whatever they like but maybe something I suggested could help until then.
TRY speaking literally instead of exaggerating. You’re obviously NOT turning everything off. You’re just turning off what you’re not using. Kind of like lights in your house. The rooms that are dark are the ones that you’re not in. If you kept everything on in the house your electric bill will go up because you’re using more power. It’s pretty simple. Apple is selling you a phone but not guaranteeing that everyone’s usage will have the same battery experience. And yes there was a little something for everyone such as complaints about battery capacity. Some were wondering why they were down 5-10% after a few months or so. You’re not going to win because you’re simply wrong and think that apple can beat the law of physics because you paid 1100$ for a phone.
In the end you’re only paying $79 for a battery replacement and that’s almost over 3 years. You really believe it’s worth all the hassle? Trying to micromanage every little thing?
I've gotten used to the way I use my phone. I just don’t have anything on that I’m not using. I have a Verizon unlimited plan so I never need WiFi on unless the cell signal is weak and WiFi is available. I’ve gotten used to my brightness being 50% or a tiny bit under. Unless I’m outside and it’s really bright, maxing out my brightness bothers my eyes. So for me I don’t feel it’s micromanaging. It’s normal. You made a good point though. I’ve been a on a binge every year since 2017 getting the latest iPhone. I don’t even keep a phone long enough for it to degrade significantly.
Duh. why didn't I think of that. Although it seems like with idle I have more drain overall. The best I can figure is maybe the higher frequency requires more battery? Although, I am on a DFS channel and that seems to help since there is minimal to no interference from outside my house.
DFU or OTA upgrade?

I use my iPhone as if it was an iPod (my 160gb classic is eating dust) with telephoning capabilities.
I have also noticed something similar. My 2 iPads are on 5Ghz and have no battery problems while my 2 iPhones do. That's why I have the phones on 2.4Ghz. Anecdotical evidence, but still...
