I think the battery on my iPhone 16 is pretty solid. I’m on the 18.3 beta, but I was also on 18.2. I play a lot of games like AC Mirage, Warframe, and Res Evil for around 3-8 hours a day. Here’s a screenshot of my battery usage sorted by app.

Bro, that’s a crazy amount of gaming. What’s your cycle count looking like?

Cycle count is 13. I’ve been playing AC Warframe and Res Evil, bro. It’s honestly amazing to have these games on my phone. I usually switch phones every year or two, so I’m not too bothered by it.
I work from home, so I always have some time to game.

On days I don’t game, it easily lasts the whole day with around 60% left at the end.

Lucky you. I’m going to wait a bit and see if my battery gets any better. But man, you don’t seem to care about your battery life!
@Neo
Nah, I don’t. I’m from South Africa, and the iStore here has a deal where you can change your phone every year and keep paying the same price by trading in your old one. I got the 16 Pro first, then my girlfriend got her 16, so I gave her my Pro. Now I love my 16.
I’m planning on getting an M4 iPad soon and switching my gaming over to that.
@Wynn
That’s insane, bro.
I’ll send an updated one tonight since I’m not gaming right now.

Sure, my bro. But damn, your charge frequency and the chart are wild.

Do you have the Plus model?
@Blake
It’s the standard 16. I had the Pro, but then I took my girlfriend’s pink 16 and gave her my Pro.
@Wynn
Are you on Wi-Fi all day?

Yep, I work from home. The recently deleted apps are all the Res Evil games and COD Mobile.
I guess we just have bad luck with our batteries. I don’t even game on my phone.

Yeah, it’s frustrating. How many hours of battery are you getting?
How is that poor battery life? You’re getting 6 and a half hours of screen-on time with only 60% battery left. That’s more than 10 hours of SOT on a full charge. You can’t really compare a flagship phone with a lower-end model since the processors in lower-end models are less powerful and more power-efficient.
@Shay
I agree, but if I had 6.5 hours with 60% drain, I would’ve been happy. But look at the home and lock screen times—they only used 1% for almost 2 hours. So, now I’m left with about 4.5 hours for 59%, which is actually pretty poor.
Same here with my iPhone 16 after updating to 18.2. Looks like we’ll need to wait for 18.3 to fix the battery drain issue.

This is still way too poor though. How many hours are you getting?
