Mix of both. WiFi whenever I’m at home, and LTE for the 6 hours a day I’m at work (turned off 5G altogether).

Other IPhone mini users: Report Your Daily Use Average For the Week With “Screen on Time”

I know I mentioned battery life early on and you posted and I understand why you said you couldn’t measure right away.
For me, I honestly measure battery life from when I have to plug in again.
Like today, 5:48am 100% and as of this post, 44%. That’s all I need and for me this will probably be the most realistic week but saying that, since I’ve had the mini, the battery has been better than what I thought and I don’t have any created anxiety about charging my battery.
Basically I plug 🔌 up 1 time and that’s at night.
I think I am at the pointe where I can go 1.5 days between charges. I am going to give it a shot and see how it goes. I am very pleased with the battery thus far.
Then you shouldn’t have bothered replying to the thread.IPhone mini users: Report Your Daily Use Average For the Week With “Screen on Time”

None of them have stated how many times they charge in a day. We can’t assume that battery life is on a single charge. And the OP hasn’t asked for that information either. For all we know it might be using up 200% battery life in a day.
Do you really get 10-15 hrs screen on time on a single charge?
I mentioned that I only measure my battery by how many times I charge in a day. A few posts above I explain that.
And yes, for yesterday I did, but stop at 10hrs. You added the thru 15hrs. There is no 10-15 hrs.
Just get the phone man and enjoy.
I agree. I have an iPhone 12 and a somewhat heavy user. Mostly on LTE when I’m at work 8 hours a day. Screen time is irrelevant.
When I go to bed I’m usually around 45%. When I wake up the battery hardly moved maybe 42-43%.
When I wake up play with my iPhone a bit while having coffee. Then I charge my iPhone with a 20w then take a shower and make my lunch.
Time I’m done my iPhone 12 is usually charged at 95%’ish then I leave work.
All above is on WiFi.
Get to work about 5:30am and 90% on LTE because I’m mobile. Usually around 12:30pm with medium - heavy usage I’m down to about 35 - 45%.
At 12:30pm I charge my iPhone with the 20w and in 30 - 60 minutes I’m charged up to at least 85%+.
When I get home and stay home I’m 100% on WiFi and like I said above when I go to bed I’m usually at 45% and don’t charge.
So in my case I’m charging 2x a day but not a 0% to full charge.
I’m interested in the mini but would have to be close to the above usage and charging habits etc.
I did... I stated I charge overnight, no topping up and no charging during the day.
This is what I’m seeing so far (charging nightly). Not sure what happened this past Sunday - had to restart the phone to stop the battery drain. Otherwise I’ve been happy with the battery life coming from an 11 pro.
My daily average for the week was 2:03. I attribute this to continued tweaking of phone settings (including automations).
The best way IMO about battery life is from the time you’re at a 100% charge to when you need to charge again let’s say 20%. How many hours can you get out of it. And whether you’re a light , medium or heavy user. And whether or not you’re on WiFi or cellular.
For example when I start my day at 100% charge I can’t get through a whole day to bedtime. I wake up at 3:00am and start my day at 5:00am. When I start my day at 5:00am I’m at 95 - 100% charge.
When I start my day I’m on cellular only to about 1:30 pm - 2:00pm. Usually at around 12:30pm with my usage and being on cellular I need to charge to get me through the rest of the day to bed time. At 12:30pm I’m normally at 20% - 35% battery. That’s when I recharge with a 20w for about an hour until 95 - 100%. The rest of the day since I’m on both WiFi and cellular and with my usage to bedtime at around 8:00pm I’m usually at around 35 - 45% . I don’t charge at bedtime because they battery hardly or doesn’t move on standby. I’ll charge to 95 - 100% when I wake up the next morning while I’m taking a shower and eating my breakfast.
But without giving us SOT this doesn’t tell us a lot.
I just read that the mini doesn’t hold a day for u but not why and with what usage.
telling us how many hours u are actually using the phone would be more helpful then at what time u wake up and recharge.
