I used to have a iPhone 6S Plus and when the camera died, I decided I wanted a more private phone. I opted for the Pixel 4a 5G and installed Calyx OS.

I absolutely love Calyx, and wouldn't move from it. However, the battery life even compared to my old iPhone 6S is pretty bad. I'm not even a heavy phone user, I don't use social media or have many apps sending me notifications (only Signal) and I feel like my phone can't even last two days of light usage. My iPhone I could use similary and I could usually get 3 days of usage.

How are you getting 3 days of usage out of an iPhone? I don't use my iPhone X much at all (mostly texting and occasional web browsing), but I'd be lucky if I could get 2 days out of it. Meanwhile, my last Android phone would consistently last 3+ days on a single charge.

(To be fair, I ran LineageOS without Google Play Services installed, which makes a huge difference, so it's not exactly apples to apples.)
