I like the battery life on my new phone. I have an iPhone 12 pro. I took it off the charger about 3:30 AM and it had 100% and this is what it’s at now at 7:30 pm. I didn’t have much screen time today, but I probably listened to about four hours of podcast.IMG_0697.JPG

I have been very pleased with the battery life on my 12 Pro. I use wireless charging and charge the unit over night and even though I am retired, my day starts at 5:30 AM and the battery last me most of the day.

Lately I have been more active on the forums and social media now being retired, the 12 Pro is faster then my 11 Pro and so far the battery is on par with what I was expecting. I feel it was worth the upgrade.

It varies a lot with use.
If you use carplay with a cord, it stays topped off.
If you have a wireless charger at your desk, it stays topped off.
In both of those scenarios, it's going to be rare to come up empty throughout the day.

If you're a tradesperson and are essentially untethered all day, in an area where cell signal is poor (-115dBm) then you're going to be scraping bottom by suppertime. It's just the way it is and some phones/os' are better than others. We've come a long way since the days of needing to find a charger by lunchtime I'll tell you that!

The battery life associated with my iPhone 12 Pro is very good, but not as good as my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Still, I can go an entire day and still have plenty of battery life left over at bedtime so I’m very satisfied thus far.

I started about 7:15 am with 98%, and it's at 48% at 5:22 pm. I don't use any other device, so I'm on my iPhone 12 Pro Max most of the day. I'm very happy with the battery.

Ive been very happy with the battery life of the 12 Pro. I take it off the charger when I get up at 9-10 in the morning, and still have 40-50% left at 2 AM when I go to bed. It gets used a lot throughout the day.

Same here. Battery life is great for me and I have plenty of battery life at bedtime, but NOT as much as had with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The battery life on my 12 Pro Max is 100 times better than my XS Max. I had to top up twice in my 9-10 hour work day at work and once on my day off. I had to literally keep my portable charger box with me in case my phone was close to dying. I take my phone off the charger at 7am and am down to 40-55% by the time I get home at 6:30pm. I listen to music 6-7 hours of my workday, might talk for 4-6 hours during my work day and browse very little since I’m on my feet walking at work. I made the right decision in upgrading.

So you’re saying if your XS max lasts 5 hrs that your 12 pro max will last 500 hrs? That’s pretty dang amazing!!!!

How old is/was your XS MAX?

My battery health on my 11 Pro Max is at 96% after 14+ months of constant use, and I'm still getting stellar battery life.
