iOS 16 Battery Drain Thread

I have found that 100-99% takes 5-6 times longer than the rest, but from 99% on wards it’s pretty linear. Maybe you’re conflating that first percentage with the rest, which is why 100-90% will always last about twice as long as 90-80% does. I can’t explain the below 40% part, I’ve found it’s pretty linear throughout.
They should’ve added “screen-on time since last full charge”, but the chance for that is long gone. I have no idea why they did it like this.
In addition to this, it never gets better, nor does it match previous iOS versions’ battery life.
Battery on iOS 16 is awful and its one of the worst new major OS release in term of battery life. Sometimes I lose like 7-8% in just 2-3 hours on standby on my 13 Pro Max with a lot of activities on the background for no reasons (I disable app refresh in background) like Facebook draining battery for staying 30 mins on the background for each hour since yesterday so I deleted the app for now.
Don’t know if this helps anyone, for me I noticed it’s any widgets on the look screen that use location such as weather. Even the astronomy wallpapers drain the battery because they are getting location also. I noticed whenever I woke my phone up and I had weather widgets, it’s constantly getting location which is draining the battery. Got rid of weather widgets and battery life is good now.
13 pro max. Battery settled after some days. I did a discharge to 5% and a restart when it charged to 100%. It has been solid ever since
ME TOO. WHY? I don't know what's going on. It's like this iOS16 is trying to purposely kill my 12ProMax so I HAVE to upgrade.
Battery life has been great so far on my 13 PM. Day one was rather bad but subsequently it has been consistently good.
Just a background information, I charge my iPhone from 10.30pm to midnight daily and I don’t use it during charging. So my 24-hour cycle USAGE has no charges in between.

My 12ProMax experiences heating sometimes several times a day. I feel the extreme heat through my Apple case and I turn off my phone.
Battery health is at 89% and I'm not a heavy phone user.
I'm thinking if it dips below 80%, I will get a battery replacement and hang on until 15ProMax releases.
12ProMax is not a new phone, but it's not an old or bad phone either. Don't understand why this is happening.

Battery life seems solid for me. iPhone XS Max, 100% battery health, fresh DFU mode install. Stays really cool and no overheating issues.
Getting about 7-8 hours SoT which is the same as when I bought the device in 2018, on its original iOS version.

You could, but I'd personally do an iCloud restore rather than a device to device transfer or an iTunes restore.
iCloud restore transfers the least junk across to the new/freshly restored device.
To clarify, I didn't restore from a backup. But I can imagine you'd have no problems with an iCloud restore.
Yeah. From Apple, followed by a fresh install of iOS. Good as new.
I think you’re onto something here regarding the weather widgets on the Lock Screen! I removed 2 of them and I will need more days to test, but right now it’s 8pm and my battery still show 73% where yesterday with roughly the same utilisation I was at 49%… coïncidence ?!
Thank you, yes I love doing the fresh install and start from scratch. It does make a huge difference. Going through the setting is a huge pain though. I’m trying to see if doing fresh install+either iCloud/iTunes restore would act the same way.
