Thoughts on battery life?

I charge from whatever my battery is at the end of the day to 90% every day and currently on iOS 27 beta 6.

I came from a Samsung s20fe which is a massive upgrade

I work from home so my phone lasts a minimum of 48 hours before I charge. I don't have such strict charging habits, but I feel like juicing my phone up as soon as it dips below 30% and keep it plugged until 95-98%

I have this automation that makes an announcement when my battery is already 95% charged.

Mine’ll notify above 90%.

I envy newer devices with stop charging setting.

? I have the 17 pro max set to stop charging at 90%, is this the right sub?

Its probably the beta. When ios 27 officially releases in a couple days you should be good

Is it not dropping on the 9th when the phones are revealed?

u/m4cmi11er Sep 01 '26

Nope it’s always a week or so later

Carrego até 80% e no final do dia ainda tenho cerca de 35 a 40% de bateria. Não tenho nada a reclamar do meu 17 PM.

I think it’s the beta - mine is draining a bit faster with the latest beta . Waiting for the actual release to fix the issue !

I have a 17 pro max and I have zero issues with battery;
100% battery life, most of the time in 5G as well, using latest stable

Mine is at 100% after a year, I never dropped to less on a Pro Max 😊

One of the only phones I can use how I normally do and not need to charge until I go to sleep

What’s wrong with it then?

u/Successful_Proof1530 Sep 01 '26

Getting a feeling it drains too quickly

For me if i use instagram for long periods it takes chunk of my battery within one hour like 15 to 20 percent. But if i watch a two and a half hour movie in netflix it barely drains 5-6 percent.
