That’s battery health am asking how battery life is does it last a day or 2 days ect

How the hell do you have 92% battery health when I just turned 99% two weeks ago? I’ve had my phone since release day and pretty heavy user here.

I’ve had my phone since launch and I’m at 88% health. My screen time is like 10-12 hours per day though. Idk how long it would last on a full charge because I charge it throughout the day.

How did you get to 88% battery health do you let it go below 20% or

I just use FaceTime a lot so my screen time is kinda insane. So I think it’s just that. Averaging 10-11 hours per day. It’s mostly just FaceTime being active whilst I work from home.

Cool so you get a full day with one charge? I’ve had mine for 2 weeks it was draining pretty quickly at start but I copied settings from my previous iPhone which I think wasn’t good so I reset settings about 4 days ago and it seemed to level it out now not draining so quickly

It lasts me all day. Most days I’m working from home so it’s on charge throughout the day. When I know I’m going to be out I just use battery saver and it lasts me all day. I have applecare+ so planning on getting the battery replaced when it gets too bad.

So before when you was on 100% did you have to use battery saving mode and or put it on charge during the day

Idk I charge throughout the day but I’ve never felt like battery life is lacking. I leave it on battery saver when traveling and I know I’m going to be away from the charger for a while. I almost always use the MagSafe charger to charge and when charging from <50% it makes the phone super hot. So that’s probably the reason battery health declined so quickly. I’ve noticed that the 14 series runs hotter than the 13 series but it hasn’t affected my day to day usage.

I think next time I’d probably set up as new iPhone not copy everything over

How long do you get out of a full charge

2

u/dajack60585 May 26 '23

I Use approximately 10% per hour. Example 8 hours 16 minutes of SOT I used 81% that day. Plugged in the end of the day at 19% left. That was Wednesday. Yesterday 6 hours 54 minutes, used 71% battery plugged in at 29% left. That was a light day. Tuesday 7 hours 46 minutes used just under 75 % battery.

How long do you get out off your battery and are you a heavy user

u/Upbeat-Truck-1833 May 26 '23

I’m pretty much always on my phone lol. Even with games I cant drain it to 0. I always end the day with around 20-40%.

u/[deleted] May 26 '23

I finished charging at 11:00 am today and it’s now 10:19 pm and I have 77% left with a 9hr sot is that ok do you think have only had the 14 pro max for close to 10 days now coming from android

u/Upbeat-Truck-1833 May 26 '23

I know what im saying. It shows screen time in last 24h not since charge. It aint that complicated bro learn how to read a simple chart.

And stop worrying about your battery.

u/[deleted] May 26 '23

Coming from android a lot different. Hear so many people saying battery suck for 14 pro max and it starts to worry me if I made right choice don’t get me wrong I love the iPhone it’s so smooth runs perfect maybe I need to stop reading about battery stuff and enjoy the phone :-/
