I have been using this phone for a year or so, got it because of wearing too much mask at some point. Now that the pandemic is starting to wind down, I am thinking to switch back to a FaceID phone which is either an iPhone 13 or 14.

During the pandemic I worked from home so I didn't really mind the battery life, but now I am slightly concerned now that I am back out in the world. I took it off the charger around 8am and it dies around 2-3pm. Is that normal? Apple replaced the battery a couple months ago so the battery health is still around 96%.

Apps used are mostly just Apollo, iMessage, Mail, Safari, News. I have an automation to switch on low power mode at 50% battery which have been kinda saving me all this time.

I could make the Show Activity numbers out to be 45% and that app icon looks like it's a game. Right?
 
iPhone SE 2020 battery are small. There are plenty of threads about this in here. Read as much as you can to be aware of how it is with games. I have iPhone 13 Pro Max - the BEST in battery longevity.
