I’m on a brand new 2016 model iPhone SE A1662. Full charge capacity is 100%. I rarely get through the day before I have to charge again with moderate use.
I’ve been using a iPhone SE as my primary phone since summer 2016.
If I recall, my original new iPhone SE had great battery life. It was first on iOS 9.
Up Until iOS 12, Battery life was fine on it. With iOS 12, had to get a extended battery case; that held up As a workable solution until iOS 13.
At the end of last year, after iOS 13 came out I replaced that iPhone SE with a brand new one I bought on fire sale.
That had an accident this week, which I replaced with another new iPhone SE.
For it, I set it up as a new device, without any apps, and not restoring from any backup, I still have the same battery life.
I’m going to chalk it up to iOS background process bloat and third party background app refresh, etc.
It will be I nteresting to see how iOS 14 Holds up on the iPhone SE 2016.
What can I say, I refuse to use a phone without flat sides, no headphone jack and not of a reasonable size. I could take a few of those exceptions but all three has been a no go for me. Really the new “meh” battery life is the only complaint I have about this device.
Really excited for the rumored iPhone 12 5.4 inch since it may be about the same size as the old SE; with flat sides.
Yes. I can get a day and a half out of my XR easily with quite heavy usage. And the battery health is 90% after 18 months of ownership. Best phone I’ve ever had.
Well no not really. It’s two data points. Let’s work out what is different and work out why yours sucks :)
I run mine with default apps, couch to 5k, nutracheck, YouTube, eBay, Santander, OS maps, prime video, Netflix, slack, PayPal, Uber eats, duo mobile TOTP and that’s it. No social crap.
Mix of battery aging out and possibly more background activity.
The gen 11s have rather good battery life (I rarely dip below 50% at day's end even though I use my phone a lot) — though some folks have apparently reported drain issues — but they have almost double the battery capacity of an '8.
Yes. iPhone XR already had great battery life and 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have more than 4-5 hours additional battery life compared to Xs and Xs Max. My 11 Pro can easily last 1.5 days with heavy usage.
Don't know about iPhones, but the only way my Nokia 7 plus will do 60 hours is without radios, reading music from internal storage, and piping sound do a powered speaker.
