@pimoore A great question! I’ve heard that people think the battery life isn’t as good, although I disagree. I never get close to running out of battery before going to bed at around 11 o’clock each night. It lasts beautifully.

Looking at my weekly ScreenTime statistics, I hit an average of two hours of phone use each day, predominantly using messaging apps, taking photos and videos and listening to music and podcasts. For further context, this phone usage is in addition to time spent working from home on a Mac and iPad. I have auto-brightness on and occasionally adjust it manually in direct sunlight.

I would postulate that those who complain about poor battery life are people who watch more videos or play games, or to say perhaps judgementally, spend an excessive amount of time on their phones.

It’s all subjective, however to say that the battery life is ‘poor’ as a blanket statement is false.
