Strangely today I get very bad battery life so far with my 15 PM - nothing changed in my usage…
Already down to 76% from 100% at 7am now it’s 2:27pm but only 1 1/2 hrs SOT…
Judging from forums it seems like Clash royal and a few other games are known battery hogs.


Could be old news and that is has been corrected but there is a few threads on the same topic.

Seems like safari is using more battery today than it’s usually doing…
Have ~ 4 1/2 hrs SOT and only 48% left…

Normally I get 6 1/2 - 8 hrs SOT… with even more playing my game and using safari…

Really strange don’t you think guys?

Depends on what you were using Safari for I guess and if you were using cellular rather than WiFi compared to the days when you get better SOT.

Never use WiFi because I don’t have it at home - only cellular.
So as I said same usage and settings as everyday.
Safari mostly macrumors. As always

Could be many things, busy cellular tower, you've been in a location where reception is bad, more data usage (hard to know what apps are downloading in the background), different light conditions, BT connectivity, background processes or bugs in OS or apps....prob a few more things that I can't think of now.

Mentioning the above makes me think it might be a good idea to get a similar Battery Graph but where data traffic is included. Its hard do know how much data that the device is consuming without having to reset things.

Your looking at a little less that 14 hours SOT is this is accurate. How is that bad?
 
Oh yeah whoops. Was thinking that was for the day. The 24 hour battery usage is useless. The only thing that tells the story is the daily one.

This is the only one that tells the story for this thread.

Yeah, but I had „only“ 6 1/2 hrs SOT with 20% left.
Needed to top the battery for about 20minutes to get enough battery life till it got on the charger over the night now…
So not that good overall today

But I thought you were getting around 7 SOT time on average, so 20% with 7 SOT would have put you right there right?
 
I have the feeling that since iOS 18, whether 18.1 or 18.2 beta, something is wrong with iCloud. As if a synchronization process (at least) hangs in a loop for me.

Because without iCloud logged in, I easily have 10/12 hours of screen in time with my iPhone 16 Pro Max and wifi

Yeah, could be something on the serverside. I wouldn't specifically say it's iCloud, because I had a few days where battery life was decent/okay with my 15 Pro, but I never logged out of iCloud or so. My settings are basically the same (beside of sometimes having AOD on and sometimes off, but this doesn't make a real difference) for the whole time, I've also never reset my phone.
 
Wow!
Installed the dev beta 4 of 18.2 and got this with still 40% left.
Played less today though.
Still astonished by the result !

My device for those who don’t know it yet: 15 PM.

18.2 beta 2 is a nightmare for my 12PM. Something really strange is going on.

No heavy load but the battery literally drains!
