iOS 16.3 Battery Life on iPhone 14 Pro

[MetalMK]

How's your experience been with your iPhone 14 Pro on the latest firmware 16.3? I've always had pretty awful battery life with the 14 Pro and I don't want to ruin my battery life even more for some features that I won't even use on iOS 16.3.

Horrible. I installed RC IPSW over the RC via my Mac (option + check for update) and it’s a little better.
The Mail and Photos app have been going wild in the background, but even after settling down it’s still crap.

but with 12+ years under my belt with iPhones, I’ve found that betas have better battery life than RC/GA.

I have a 14 Pro 512GB; wife has 13 Pro.

Terrible battery here on mine. My Samsung S10+ lasted longer!

its weird i went from 15.7.1 on my iPhone 13 mini to 16.3 and battery life is somehow MUCH better. i do regret updating though I hate the notifications.

Same experience on my 13 Pro
Ungraded from 15.7.2 to 16.3 RC
Best battery life ever on my phone dispite the battery capacity down to 92%

Exactly the same daily usage

Experiencing fast drain on 16.3, no idea why.

Horrible. My 13Pro last year had better battery life then my current 14 Pro Max.

Battery life on my 13 Pro with 16.3 is decent, although it was much better on 16.1.2 (I haven't updated to 16.2).

Horrible, with countless bugs and weird glitches.

iPhone 14 pro 256gb here.

Jees. I have an iPad Pro M2 which I was considering updating from it's initial version (16.1) to 16.3. Maybe I shouldn't do that?

With all the talk of poor battery life above, not all data points are bad.
My phone (14 Pro) has great battery life on 16.3.
But I realize everyone's circumstances are different.

I’ve been having battery drain on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Can’t seem to get rid of it. I used to end my days with ~50% battery life. I’m at 20% right now with only 5.5 hours of SOT.
