My 22Ultra overnight: loses 6-8% battery life.
My GF's iPhone 14 overnight: loses 20% battery life.
My GF uses my phone more than I do because her iPhone is usually dead by the end of the day if she doesn't remember to charge it every few hours.
I'm willing to accept a slightly slower phone if it means my phone can make it through the day without me being a hostage to charging.
- acdha 4y agoDo you have the same apps installed? Years back I found uninstalling Facebook was like a 20% battery life improvement - I didn’t even open it much but it was so busy in the background. Going through the battery usage report and pruning apps is like flossing: most people should do it more often than they do.
- gamblor956 4y agoYes, we both have FB and Insta installed... The problem is the poor battery management on the phone. Not fair to blame the apps for Apple's failure.
- acdha 4y ago> The problem is the poor battery management on the phone. Not fair to blame the apps for Apple's failure. You can't separate the two: if the apps are requesting the phone do more work, that's going to affect the battery life. That's why I suggested looking at the battery usage history since it often has surprises if you don't, and comparing two devices with different workloads doesn’t tell you much.
