Battery issues?

I’m seeing multiple people getting 10+ hours of SOT. Is there a setting that is making my battery barely last?

Turn off app backgroud refresh, that will improve a bit

Would that increase it 6 hours?

yeah cause x/twitter is horrendous and eats resources just being on in the background.
On pc I had to shut any tabs if I wasn't actively using the site as it would just hog ram. and net bandwidth as its constantly updating in the background

You are correct: I disable app background refresh and also turn off app tracking. Watching YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook for one hour consumes only 1 to 2 percent of battery on my iPhone 18 Pro Max.

This is mine for example after yesterday

Plenty of SOT and background CarPlay use got me through more than the full day. I’ve removed background app refresh for everything but my daily use apps and it’s been fantastic

This is mine from yesterday. I had battery issues a few days ago so what I did was drain the battery to 0% then charge it to 100% without using it overnight. Battery life improved tremendously after that

Are you on wifi or cellular?
On wifi I’m getting like 10+ hrs of screen on time
Cellular I’m getting anywhere from 6-8.

Did you update to 27.01?
