I remember the days when I used to be a BlackBerry fan, the days of the Bold 9700 in particular which had a battery that would last you easily 2 days and I still remember how on forums, members used to mock people with iPhone 3 and 4 saying things like "If you're going to buy an iPhone, make sure you buy 3 charges with it, one for home, one for the office, and one for your car", it was that bad.
Then things started advancing slowly, I then switched to many Android phones, mostly from Samsung and the issue with Samsung phones is they have this strange and horrible standby time, like you would charge the phone to 100%, not touch it, after an hour it's already down to 90% and yes I do turn off background apps that I don't need and do all the tweaks you could think of.
Last phone I had was the Note 10 Plus and while the battery life is great largely due to the fact the battery capacity itself is large (4300mAH), I was blown away with the battery life of my iPhone 11 Pro!
With my moderate usage, the battery easily lasts me 3 days, the standby time is also out of this world. Just last night I charged my phone to 100% and slept, I woke up and found out that I received around 3 emails and a few WhatsApp messages but the phone battery was still at 100%! The standby time on these iPhones is just insane!
I also love how much more control iOS gives you in terms of background apps which is an easy to find setting in the Settings section under General and more importantly how easy it is to define location services access (as in Allow Location Always, while app is running, or Never), I think that also contributes to the amazing battery life.
I love the fact that I can go out and not think twice about battery life or that I need to take my charger with me!
Android, with all its improvement over the years both in Software and Hardware in the latest phones, has a long way to go to reach this kind of battery life in both usage and standby time.
The other amazing thing is that iPhones do this with a smaller battery capacity on paper as well!
