Honestly, when compared to the iPhone 8 I find the SE to last up to an hour longer ... as far as SOT ... that’s with my battery health at 100% on both devices. The iPhone SE has a small battery. There is no way around it lol. I honestly wish the battery had been 2500 mah then the battery life would be immaculate. It’s still not that terrible though.

If battery health is 100 on both and SE is lasting 1 hour more, that will be good enough for me. :)

Yeah my iPhone 8 battery was changed recently. Both of them are at 100% and I’m getting more than an hour of on screen time. Even though they’re the same size battery.

For me with the SE the battery hasn’t been terrible. It gets me through the day no problems

Exactly the case with me. My battery life on 8 feels terribly insufficient if I begin video calling. Then I can finish it from 100 to 20 or even lower in around under 2 hours with phone getting really hot. In no other usage do I find the battery life inadequate on the 8.
