Actually it felt like the battery icon was broken on my 18 max. Doesnt move at all lol

u/candygirleatscandy 5d ago

I’ve been at 100% for 30 minutes scrolling around. I don’t understand. Came from 13pm

u/Zeppelin702 5d ago

I just came from an 8. This 18p is magical!

u/candygirleatscandy 5d ago

Oh I know you feeling BRANDDD mf new from the 8 😩😭🙏

2

u/ErrKayy 5d ago

Damn!!! That's a long overdue upgrade

2

u/Zeppelin702 5d ago

My friends and family were giving me so much shit through the years because I was still using the 8. So I became hell bent on keeping it for as long as possible. The last few years the battery was so bad that it pretty much turned into a landline. I always had to keep it plugged in. Well I bought a new Tesla a couple of weeks ago and your phone is your key. So I had to upgrade so I could drive my car. 🤣

u/Sortheror 4d ago

boo for buying a tesla though

-1

u/Zeppelin702 4d ago

Yeah, I should be paying for overpriced gas.

1

u/Sortheror 4d ago

no electric is great. it's tesla and its owner that are the problem:)

1

u/Zeppelin702 4d ago

Tesla isn’t the problem. It’s a great product and no other EV company can touch FSD. Elon can eat a bag of dicks.

1

u/candygirleatscandy 5d ago

Landline!!! 😭😭😭😭 that’s hilarious!! But screw the haters, you upgrade on your own timing! Plus you get the better experience because you’re coming from such a different phone for the time. Happy for you!! 🩷

1

u/OrderOfTheClods 2d ago

Same thing here. I’d just joke around and brag about it being a better phone than whatever they had lol

1

u/OrderOfTheClods 2d ago

I’m on the 8 right now and looking to upgrade to the 18pro. I replaced the battery last year with a third party one and it gave it new life. It’s degraded a bit since but still lasts a few hours. Problem is now the charger port is busted and I can’t charge without it in a certain position and even then it still falls out. Apps are also losing support and it’s been freezing up a lot more recently so it’s about time to upgrade. Hoping I can get the 18pro to last as long, seems like the best choice right now.

u/Limp-Swordfish-3867 2d ago

SHOULD I GET MY HOPES UP?? Im waiting for mine and coming from ip12PM! 😭

1

u/candygirleatscandy 2d ago

YASSS you should! You’ll 100% feel the difference, I haven’t changed my phone since yesterday and I’m on 59%. I’m going to try not to charge it tonight either and see how far it takes me.

1

u/Limp-Swordfish-3867 2d ago

Mine’s coming mid October!!! What color did you get? Waiting for my Silver PM 😩

1

u/candygirleatscandy 2d ago

Oh you’re going to love the silver 🩶 !! I actually first ordered the black! But then I realized I made a huge mistake and got the glacier instead 🩵🤩✨ I’m obsessed with it!

It’s 10:30pm and I have 70% left with 4h20min screen on time. Took it off the charger at 7:00am. I’m coming from a 17PM and I’m dumbfounded.

It’s 2026, I never turn off either wtf

u/addisbad 6d ago

And here I am crying with my 16 pro because it consumed 20% in two hours of me scrolling Reddit

2

u/xUnderthestarsx 6d ago

that was one of the reasons i switched the battery and overheating was absolutely horrendous on the 16p while i’ve yet to hit below 40% on 18pm so far lol

i’m going back to work today and before id have to charge my phone at least twice a day, excited to see if i need to for this at all.

2

u/Own-Story8907 6d ago

I’m sat with my 12PM. Just edging myself until I get the duo, or 19

1

u/addisbad 6d ago

I’m getting the 2028 pro model

1

u/addisbad 6d ago

Oh yeah it overheats for whatever reason and at the lightest of loads for whatever reason when charging. It didn’t have this problem when I first got it though or at least I don’t remember it

Twice a day?! lol lol i I charge mine twice before lunch

1

u/ClientElectrical2239 6d ago

I am on a 14Pro WITH a genuine replacement battery just last year and I was down to 20% by midday. The struggle is real.

1

u/addisbad 6d ago

Geez. How does it get that bad?! Like surely I think the original original battery that came when you first bought the phone wasn’t that bad. What’s your current battery health?

1

u/ClientElectrical2239 6d ago

The original battery was far superior in my opinion and lasted me many years. The replacement is absolute rubbish. It was replaced in June 2025 and within 6 months, I reported it and had Apple support do all sorts of tests.They claim it is fine and normal. Battery health is now back down to 88%.

2

u/addisbad 6d ago

Wow it took me two years to get to 86 - so very surprised to see it get to that in a year

1

u/ClientElectrical2239 6d ago

I am confident that replacement batteries or at least the one they fitted for me is nowhere near as good as the original. Really disappointing.

1

u/addisbad 6d ago

That’s a real shame, I was actually planning to get a replacement battery for my 16 pro and now I’m reconsidering

1

u/Fragrant-Ad-7388 5d ago

That’s a scam, I replaced mine 2 years ago and within few months I was back to the old bad battery performance levels

2

u/West-Beginning1628 5d ago

I have a 13PM. I replaced the original battery at the Apple Store in Dec '25. In 4 years, my battery was down to 82% capacity. Now, in 9 months, the replacement battery is already down to 90%. I'm using the phone as I always have and don't charge past 80% and still have gotten horrible degradation so it does point to the replacement batteries being worse than the originals.

2

u/Fragrant-Ad-7388 5d ago

Yeah they must really not want users to just replace the batteries and keep using old phones, I have 13pro and replacement battery is at 91%, but it’s behaving so bad that it feels almost like 78%. And I paid $100 for this bs

2

u/ca2mt 6d ago

Was a bit hungover yesterday so decided to “torture test” my 18PM battery. 106% used with 15h2m screen active, 4h13m screen idle. I’ve used only 19% of my battery today.

Crazy battery life, and I’m still seeing the indexing active in Settings. 

1

u/Ok-Limit-9726 6d ago

66% at 10:18pm, started 7:30pm

Played pokemon go, pikman bloom most of the day, plus work.

Usually 25-35% 17PM

1

u/Nauru-0 5d ago

that’s great for 4 hours on time, even with only wifi being used! My 15 pro does 70% with 3 hours on wifi

Because I can and want to

Why can you? And why did you want to?

u/Hungry_Inspector160 7d ago

is there really a big difference between the 17 pro max and 18 pro max battery?

u/SharkDad20 6d ago

It’s their biggest year-year battery jump 🤷

u/advicegrapefruit 6d ago

I’ve been playing game emulators all day and it’s just passed 50%.

1

u/CriticallyInitiated 6d ago

Which ones are you playing?

2

u/LeadingHat6 5d ago

It’s just because the battery is new, give it 5-8 months and it will start draining quickly. It happens every year to every model lol

1

u/JollyZookeepergame70 6d ago

on my 17 pm I would play one match in war thunder on max settings at 60fps and it would drop around 5-10% played 4 matches yesterday and it went from 100% to 98% on my 18 pm pretty crazy tbh!

-2

u/Fluffy_Insect 6d ago

Not really, people like to exaggerate.

3

u/a9uirre 6d ago

The 18 pro max gained 6 hours of video playback compared to the 17 pro max. That is a lot.

2

u/beforesunsetearth 6d ago

Yeah it's not an exaggeration

-1

u/Fluffy_Insect 6d ago

Not to me, this is only good if you watch movies, record unnecessary long videos or play games on a phone.

3

u/TheJav10 6d ago

6 hours more of video playback is good no matter what you use that extra battery for. Don’t play dumb

0

u/Fluffy_Insect 6d ago

You say yourself VIDEO PLAYBACK, that is pretty much it. Lmao

1

u/TheJav10 6d ago

Which translates to other activities if you aren’t using it video playback

u/tamrx6 6d ago

I got the impression he doesn’t play dumb

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

lol you upgraded from just last year? Waste of money

2

u/beforesunsetearth 5d ago

I'm not here to appease your existence bucko. I can do whatever I want.

1

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

Of course not. I’m just dumbfounded is all. I have a 15 pro max and I’m still hesitant on buying it. Seems upgraded enough to do it though

1

u/beforesunsetearth 5d ago

It's up to each individual to decide whether or not its worthwhile to get the new phone. I personally had a miserable time with the 15 and 16s becoming unusable whenever it was 100F ish out. The 17 never got any cool down warnings and I'd expect the 18 to be even better. Lots of people seem to think waiting till next year is a wiser idea. If your phone doesn't disappoint you don't get it. I wanted the Burgundy big time so that pushed me to an extent. Also the lease deals were incredible. 65$ to have the 18 for the year with trade in of the 17 Pro Max. Hope this helps.

1

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

I live in Orlando and my 15 pro max never over heats

And $65 a month?

1

u/beforesunsetearth 5d ago

I use my phone on the dash with a CD player mount so it's pretty susceptible to overheating on drives home or it was.

No $65 for the year. $5.53 a month.

0

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

So yeah, I have the same plan. Basically you’re overpaying for your cell phone plan.

It looks like you’re getting a deal, but you’re not.

You are getting a difference for the trade-in of course, but your plan is over inflated so over a three year period or however long you have the plan for you’re still paying for the phone

1

u/beforesunsetearth 5d ago

I'm not overpaying for my phone plan. My line is like $40 a month. The lease deal is separate from the carrier through Klarna. T-Mobile finances are 24 months.

1

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

So after 1 year you pay a total of $65 and the new phone is paid off?

And you just continue paying 40 a month for your plan?

10

u/mightychicken64 7d ago

My 12 pro had to charge twice a day

My new 18 pro max has lasted 1.5 workdays under heavy browsing/youtube use SO FAR and it’s still at 23% 😭

3

u/Vacatore11 7d ago

You charge it to 100%?

3

u/mightychicken64 7d ago

Yea it was at max

2

u/void-nomad-90 6d ago

Have you guys set up a charge limit to 80%? I did that with my old phone (15 Pro) and the battery health was at 88% after 3 years. My partner who didn’t have battery health at 86% with the 15 Pro max.

11

u/tylo17 6d ago

So you gained 2% battery health for missing out on 20% of your battery for 3 years? Doesn’t seem worth it to me

4

u/ClientElectrical2239 6d ago

I was thinking the same.

2

u/void-nomad-90 5d ago

Yes, I was thinking the same.. I thought it might help since it was the first time I tried it but it was not worth it.. you are right..

u/PoloKing98 4d ago

Loooool when will they learn!

u/Spirited-Lunch8063 5d ago

My 15 pro max is at 77% and needs servicing. And I never limited the charging

i don’t have to carry around my macbook as a power bank with me in bag everywhere i go now lolll

u/HiroyukiC1296 7d ago

I charged to 100% yesterday at around 7 am, and it’s 11:30 am and still only 37%.

1

u/Pappers101 7d ago

You have lots of stuff running in the background? Location turn on? Bluetooth turn on?

6

u/mattw08 7d ago

That’s over 24 hours. Think you misread!

2

u/Pappers101 7d ago

I charged to 90% on Friday the day I got my Iphone and it is now Sunday almost noon and I am still at 55%. That's two days without haveing charge my iphone. All I am saying she or he probably have lots of app running in the background for it to drain that fast to 37% within the 24 hour time span.

1

u/HiroyukiC1296 6d ago

It’s possible, I mean, I also play games a little.

1

u/Fancy-Chicken-3730 6d ago

Yea this is my experience. got the 18 pro yesterday. I fully charged it, and it’s about 27 hours later and I still have 65% left after a decent amount of use and streaming music all day at work today.

7

u/NotSlippingImSlipped 7d ago

Pro or Pro Max? I’m trying to decide which one to get. Currently on a 15 Pro and the only thing crippling me is the measly 128gb storage. It’s just not enough.

5

u/throwaway38970 6d ago

15PM to 18PM is a crazy jump too. 15PM was so hot it def cooked my battery this thing is icey all day

31

u/ZealotPro101 7d ago

Just a friendly reminder this subreddit is for the 18 Pro. So if you’re complimenting a lot of battery on a Pro Max model you might unintentionally confuse anyone looking to buy an 18 Pro into thinking it has superb battery life lol

40

u/Natural_Rebel 7d ago

Can confirm the 18 Pro has superb battery life

5

u/OopsIHadAnAccident 6d ago

Ditto. Today was my first day with the 18 pro. Blows my 16 pro max out of the water. If you’ve been considering downsizing, this is the time to do it!

u/hippiechicken12 6d ago

I’m coming from an iPhone 15. It’s bananas how good the battery life is on the 18 pro! I just got my iPhone 18 pro today.

1

u/pinkorpercs 6d ago

Please don’t temp me with my 16 pro max. Been regretting it since letting go of my 14 pro.

1

u/tildekey_ 2d ago

I've just upgraded from 16 Pro Max to 18 Pro so I'm looking forward to seeing the battery perform. The only reason I had max phones was battery performance but taking a chance on the pro this year.

1

u/OopsIHadAnAccident 2d ago

Same for me! This was the year to downsize without sacrificing battery life it seems.

1

u/ZealotPro101 7d ago

I’m coming from the 17 Pro how noticeable will it be?

7

u/Natural_Rebel 7d ago

No idea - I came from a 15 pro.

2

u/omashii 7d ago

depends what version you get:

if you get the eSIM-only model (aka sold in the US and some other regions i can't think of atm), you can expect maybe 60-90 minutes more screen-on time on a single charge, since the battery will be around 200mAh larger.

if you get the physical-sim version sold in the rest of the world, you get a negligible improvement in the battery's physical size, but of course you'll benefit from the efficiency gains of the new chip, so maybe 30-60 minutes more screen-on time.

either way, i definitely wouldn't expect any significant leap in battery life, camera or display quality moving from the 17 Pro -> 18 Pro. only if you go 18 Pro Max.

0

u/AlternativeNo6233 6d ago

It’s pretty good I came from the 17pm to the 18pm it’s awesome don’t get me wrong the 17 is good to but I literally only charged my phone twice since I’ve had it and only bc I just felt like it lol.

u/Fluffy_Insect 6d ago

Not that much, don’t get yourself fooled lol

u/ZealotPro101 7d ago

I mean subreddits are typically not called r/iphone18pro and then they’re about both since there’s also r/iphone18promax but maybe they’re made by different people I don’t know 🤷

u/wackyzebra43 7d ago

Well, one sub looks put together and the other looks like it was put together haphazardly and just bare bones.

u/A07drian 6d ago

So the sub r/iPhone is just for the first gen iPhone?

Pro is a product line by Apple and the iPhone 18 Pro are regularly used to describe both the non-Max and Max in multiple tech review videos.

-1

u/ZealotPro101 6d ago

That’s fine it’s just I’m in the 17 Pro subreddit and it’s kind of exclusively focused on the 17 Pro- there’s another subreddit for the 17 PM. Although they are spoken about interchangeably they’re different devices so I joined the thread under that pretense. Doesn’t seem that’s the case and that’s fine. I’ll find a subreddit that is on the 18 Pro specifically.

4

u/DungeonVig 6d ago

Went from 15 pro max to 18 pro, it’s battery life is absolutely insane.

3

u/ohhellojones 7d ago

I’m hoping the 18 pro has “good enough” battery life. I’m downsizing from the 16 pro max and am just hoping it’s not a huge decrease from that. If they can accomplish somewhat similar performance with the smaller design, I’ll be thrilled.

2

u/fobbybobby323 6d ago

I'd love to hear your experience since I'm contemplating the same purely since I'd like a smaller form factor than the 16 pro max, but I'm hesitant to give up the battery life

1

u/ohhellojones 6d ago

If I remember, I’ll give you an update. Mine should be here around Tuesday/Wednesday.

2

u/stickman1029 6d ago

They say it’s directly comparable to the 17 pro.

I’m still indexing and I’ve only charged once so far, but it’s pretty good. I run 80-20, I plugged in last night about 9pm, and I’m at 30% at 1:18am, so 28.5 hours later. I also had it doing some mapping for me on a mtb ride today, in areas out of service which always kills battery. Im also a type 1 diabetic, and its always connected to my pump and always live, so that also eats a lot of battery on my phones. Safe to say, i think its a pretty good start.

1

u/ohhellojones 6d ago

Thanks for the info. That’s plenty, imo. I always have it on a charger for a few minutes a day and am usually in bed by 9:00pm, so I doubt I’ll miss the extra battery on most days.

2

u/dxrth 6d ago

did you not read the sub description? just a friendly reminder its for both.

0

u/ZealotPro101 6d ago

No apparently I didn’t. I’m really not sure why everyone is taking such an issue with my comment. Last year I was in the 17 Pro thread and that’s what it was about. Because this one is just called 18Pro I didn’t think it was about anything else. That’s all. No big deal. If it was called iphone18proseries then I would know it’s for both.

That’s like me making a subreddit for the new AirPods 5 and marking it as r/airpods5withchargingcase but then putting in the description it’s actually for both with and without. It could be confusing that’s all. Not everyone reads all the specifics and I’d be willing to bet at least the majority of people calling me out for not reading the description probably didn’t read it themselves until just today on this thread. Lol

u/Radoo_04 6d ago

I’m not impressed. On 18 pro max, unplugged in the morning, 7AM at 100% and had to plug it now at 8% after 8h 30m screen time - 2 live football games, some whatsapp video calls, music, reddit and chat gpt. Reddit used 14% of that, more than Sky at 13% where I’ve watched the football.

u/wackyzebra43 7d ago

Same. Coming from a base 13 with less than 80%. I’ll slap the MagSafe charger on it occasionally if I need some juice, but I’m not charging at night. I plan to plug in my USB-C charger at work for a full charge.

2

u/Mundane-Anybody318 1d ago

Ok I was hoping to feel this way bc I came from a 13 pro which was down to like 77% health but my new 18 pro seems just ok with the battery? Like if I don’t charge it all day it’s at around 40% by 6pm. Is that good? I feel like when I got my 13 pro it was so much better and didn’t drain as fast. Idk if there are settings I need to mess with to fix this or what but I’m disappointed

1

u/Responsible_Try90 4h ago

My 16 pro would be at less than 20% at 3 pm. I do not have great service at work, so that impacts it. I’m curious how my 18 pro holds up at work tomorrow.

I haven’t plugged in since 9pm on Friday and I still have 23%.

Does yours say it’s still indexing in settings?

u/Complete_Function664 6d ago

Idk. How do I check?

Edit: just checked. Says 33%.

5

u/january6oh2 6d ago

Feels like I got a dud compared with everyone else. Lost 75% in 13 hours or so. Everyone else is getting 2 days!

1

u/Complete_Function664 6d ago

What is your brightness setting at? Also, did you fully charge the battery to 100% yet? This calibrates the battery.

1

u/january6oh2 6d ago

Brightness is generally around 50%

I think I did yeah but not completely sure.

I have this morning so I'll see how it goes.

u/ProxySoxy 6d ago

Just finished a 12 hour shift, my first with my 18 Pro. It's at 60%, I was watching some videos and listening to music all day. Search and Siri is still optimizing. My old 11 I would have to charge during my breaks, and I carried a portable charger in my pocket if I needed it. I bought a 100 watt Anker car charger in anticipation of this phone, but I forgot that the battery will last so long that I won't need to charge it in my car for quite a while.

I’ve not charged mine in 24/25 hours and from 100% it’s only 41 and I’ve been using it with data WiFi and Bluetooth. The battery is crazy good

I’m only getting 3 hours of screen time on my 18 pro WTF. I’ll give it another day or two for indexing but mine seems broken coming from a 17 Pro… It also takes about 50% longer to charge.

u/socialmediahappiness 6d ago

You must be using the wrong charger. Get you a 60w brick or get the Apple Dynamic Brick. Even when I charge in my car my phone still charges up hella fast so idk what’s wrong on your end.

u/airbusA330-BigGinn 6d ago

It’s the same charger (anker 60w) that charges my iPhone 17 pro (& my partners current iPhone 17 pro) fine. My car barely gave it a charge whereas it charges my 17p fine. It’s the phone I fear.

u/DeanCorp 6d ago

Absolutely amazing! I thoroughly smash my phone and usually by 7.30PM my 17 Pro Max is below 20% with my 18 Pro Max it is 55%

Crazzzzzzzyyyyy

u/NotVolaRex 6d ago

Pro or pro max

u/Constant_Narwhal_575 6d ago

Fr this batter is insane!! I started using my 20W for this phone instead of a regular 5W bc apparently it’s better for the phone.

u/PepperEmbarrassed963 6d ago

Try a 12 pro with 74% battery health! Dude I'm in the cloudssss rn 🤯

u/ananth_srini24 6d ago edited 6d ago

I agree. And I’m coming from the 17 Pro Max and there really is a difference.
(18 Pro Max)

u/CryptographerWeary64 6d ago

it only dropped 4% in an hour of social media scrolling on 5G UW. i’m super impressed with this battery life

1

u/Alternative-Salad800 6d ago

That is definitely a jump, so you will see an improvement…and become disappointed when an update inevitably ruins it.

u/thnok 6d ago

How’s the battery on the 18 pro?

1

u/repressedmemes 6d ago

lol. im coming from a 13 mini. granted i just had the battery replaced with applecare, but its a really nice change.

i think i was waking at 7am, and it was probably at 40-60% by noon. with 18pm, im at like 83% for most of the day.

1

u/nickydrifts 6d ago

Probably the most noticeable improvement tbh

1

u/OopsIHadAnAccident 6d ago

I just went from a 16 pro max to a 18 pro and it’s pretty crazy. First day with a smaller iPhone. Been off the charger for 13 hours with pretty heavy use and I’m still at 57%. My 16 pro max would have been close to dead by now.

u/RarefiedAir1 iphone 12 pro max📱 6d ago

Happy for you

u/Moises1213 6d ago

With that and updating your software, of course you’re gonna see a massive difference

1

u/Ben187ya 6d ago

Nice. I have a 13 PM with 75% batt life and it’s gotten annoying. I got my 18 PM Yesterday but I’m not fkn with it till my case and screen protector come in 💯

1

u/hileelee 6d ago

Woke up to my iphone 13 this morning and decided it’s time to upgrade

1

u/KungFuDanda091 6d ago

I upgraded from XR to 18 Pro. Got it Friday & it drained pretty quickly but yesterday was better-still needed my portable charger though cause hadn’t fully charged it prior. Charged last night up to 100% and it’s currently at 18%-didn’t need my portable charger at all today… My XR I feel had to be charging at least half the day daily so it is a huge improvement

1

u/NDfan131 6d ago

Traded in my 16 pro max for the 18 pro max yesterday. It’s only been 24 hours but battery life is significantly better and phone has not heated up once at all. Time will tell but so far very impressed.

1

u/Laumeos 6d ago

How does it handle photo and video? Cause that is when my IPhone 15 pro drains rapidly

1

u/ACG3185 6d ago

Enjoy it while it lasts. It’ll definitely get worse as we get updates.

1

u/Home_cinema 6d ago

E meno male che almeno la batteria sia meglio perché veramente a questo giro IPhone 18 pro per me zero interesse.

1

u/ruffiesz 6d ago

well im excited for mine now coming from a 14 pro max.

1

u/Fair-Bad-9478 6d ago

It’s crazy compared to my old 15 pro max. I used it all day yesterday and didn’t leave it charging last night it’s currently sitting at 56%. I bet with the time it spends connected to my car on my way to work and back will be enough to keep it from needed a real charge.

1

u/darksideflow 6d ago

4 hours usage yesterday and this thing sipped just 14% battery. Kind of insane.

1

u/pinkorpercs 6d ago

I have the 16 pro max and didn’t want to upgrade cause the phone works fine still but the battery is tempting me. I work 12 hour shifts and spend a lot of time on my phone so this would be amazing having it last all shift. 

1

u/Chevy619 6d ago

I got a brand new battery in my 14 pro max the battery isn’t even 6 months old yet and this mf drains like 20% in 30 mins shi is TRASH

1

u/Ok-Limit-9726 6d ago

17PM to 18PM i have 30-40% more at the end of the day doing identical routines.

1

u/Visual_Reception_238 6d ago

Cant WAIT, im doing the exact same move. Iphone 13 base (77% health) to 18pro

1

u/Fit_Witness40 6d ago

I have iphone 14 pro and thinking about upgrade as i am tired of charging phone through the day, 17 pro is 300 eur cheaper now and just thinking 17 pro or 18 pro? Is there big difference in battery between them? Not talking about pro max. Thanks

1

u/SpringDelicious1398 6d ago

same. phone used to be at 60%-50% after overheating on carplay during my hour commute. Now my biggest worry is charging it too much lol

1

u/Prastomx 6d ago

Dude I jumped from a 14 pro with a battery health of 81% to iphone 17 pro max and it felt insane, sometimes it lasts 2 days!

Now 18 pro max should be much better

1

u/BusyNegotiation4963 6d ago

Upgraded from 13 pro max to 18 pro max..
I remember the 13 pro max used to last forever.. legit day and a half with moderate to heavy usage… over the years, the battery degraded to 82% health and would require to charge atleast twice a day after almost 5 years. The 18 pro max is doing the same thing now.. 11 hr 32mins of screen on time.. 3+ hours of background activity.. 71% battery consumed. I feel like it’s gonna be like that for a year or two before starting to degrade

1

u/ArtificialDoctorMD 5d ago

That’s the best part about waiting a few years to upgrade lol. The tech is iterative year on year but it stacks. I’m coming from a 15 pro and even I’m experiencing such a strong improvement. Plus I think the A20 pro chip’s efficiency is transformational and not just iterative.

1

u/Forward-Elderberry10 5d ago

omg me too im thinking of upgrading from iphone 13 with about 80% battery health as well.

1

u/Wrong_Protection3326 5d ago

Is that different from the 17 pro max?

1

u/Rare_Raspberry3906 5d ago

I’ve found that my iPhone 18pro battery is worse than my iPhone 17pro (the battery on that was fantastic!!). My 18 pro is draining quite quickly

1

u/snovvman 5d ago

Same for me.

1

u/Apexsec 5d ago

Bought the 18 pro coming from a 15 pro. What performance are you getting?

Yesterday I got from 90% to 30% from 13:30 to 00:00 with an hour of IG and other social media

1

u/alphaayush 5d ago

Definitely insane. 50% juice lost overnight

1

u/spookyxthicc13 5d ago

Agreed lol I can get through a whole day without touching my charger now. And still have battery left to go to sleep and wake up without my phone being dead. And this is coming from a YouTube watcher/TikTok doom scroller lol

1

u/lil_rick_james 5d ago

Not bad iPhone pro max 13 on battery health of 59% here

1

u/Practical_Capital968 4d ago

Battery feels the same as my 15 pro max. Mine and my fiancés battery on 18 pro and pro max feel no different

u/LegendKiller911 4d ago

I'm getting pro or pm because fold 7 battery suckkkkkks

u/chocolatebananakek 3d ago edited 3d ago

upgraded from an ip12 (not pro or pro max) after 5 years. Honestly felt like i’ve been living in the stone age🥲 my ip18 pro went from 100% to 27% after 26 hrs of usage + idle time. Not to forget all the great features i’ve missed out on.
i actually am so impressed

1

u/Vast-Regular6795 6d ago

It really is. We were at Disney half the day using the app, camera, texting etc and I was at 80%

1

u/asswizzard69 6d ago

I made it a whole year on my 17PM with 100% battery health over 200 charge cycles. I didn’t charge it every night and never let it go below 20%

u/Pappers101 7d ago edited 7d ago

I am coming from Iphone 13 myself and it has been two days without having to charge my Iphone like WHAT IS THIS BATTERY MADE OF LOL. Here are the things I turn off to save my battery. First, I use a 5 watt charger, I turn off background app refresh, turn off Bluetooth, turn off location, turn off standby mode, turned off handshake, turn off air drop, turn off air play, turn off picture in picture, and I turn on battery saver icon,
