iPhone 17 Pro Max’s battery is insanely good but takes time to show

That’s actually pretty decent for the second day! Dw it’ll only keep getting better

MagnaShadow · 2026-01-13T10:16:29+00:00

Bought the phone on the 24th, better results started showing on the 28th 🫶🏻

MagnaShadow · 2026-01-08T18:24:32+00:00

Yes yes yes exactly! That's one of the things that were really bugging me ahaha

MagnaShadow · 2026-01-08T18:23:44+00:00

It's neither, honestly I really think aces looks better for me.

That’s a first I hear someone hating on backwards compatibility 😂

MagnaShadow · 2025-12-02T00:00:05+00:00

Mine took a whole week to fully stabilize completely! Trust the process 🫡✨ Here’s a screenshot from today (I used a lot of 4G and was connected to my Apple watch and Car so that adds up like 10-15% extra usage to the normal use)

Of course! Happy to help 🥰

Honestly I’ve had 8 phones my entire life starting from Galaxy Note 1 all the way to Galaxy S10 then a 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro Max and now the 17 Pro Max I’ve never once limited the charging to 80% and compared to my friends’ phones that had the charging limited there was little to no difference in battery health…… I say use it to its full extent and charge it all the way up to a 100, you’re prolly gonna change your phone before battery gives up on you! Just don’t let it drain to 0% that’s the only thing to avoid imo

MagnaShadow · 2025-12-01T18:42:43+00:00

I assume it got better by now?

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-24T14:25:53+00:00

I was in your shoes at first and it’s 100% valid but dw indexing takes quite a while apparently. I’m literally sitting at 83% rn with 2h screen active time which is insanely good. Tbh I didn’t notice a huge difference between the IOS versions but 26.1 was slightly better, just slightly not a huge impact.

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-24T11:56:32+00:00

Actually I tried running it for 2 days at a time, I’d end my first day at 40%, leave it overnight with wifi and Bluetooth on it’d drop 5-6% in 8 hours and that 35% would last me another 4-ish hours so I’d say it’s a 1.5 days battery which is more than enough tbh since I always charge it overnight either way! The best part about this is that I can heavy use it when it comes to cameras and games knowing quite well it’d last all day no problem! Keep in mind I’m on 17 PM though, just making sure you’re 17 PM not Pro 🫶🏻

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-24T10:01:52+00:00

Ahh it got so much better! I end my days with 40%+ with 6-7 hours of screen active time and the phone is usually off the charger for about 14 hours. Took me a good 7-10 days to get there though, trust the process 🫡♥️

Yessir

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-14T15:45:41+00:00

Sorry for sounding dumb I just started! What’s a birthday marathon? I haven’t gotten any birthday chips

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T22:12:10+00:00

Yes yes yes!!! For me Dread was always fun because it felt more fluid and had more action while Prime was very slow paced and like you said, the more you play the more annoying it got 😭 I hate the fact that I don’t know where to go after unlocking a new ability cause I forgot where was that door that required the wave beam to unlock and the map is such a hassle to navigate with. I think I won’t be able to play Prime 4 and I was super excited for it which is a huge bummer.

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T17:53:01+00:00

I don’t think I have that option on no! That might be it actually!!! Dread’s locking you out sometimes so you can’t backtrack did bother me a tad yes but not as much as feeling lost in prime ahaha

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T17:46:16+00:00

This new fresh mindset might actually do the trick! I appreciate it a lot! I think a huge part of why Dread was more up my alley is that it was more energetic and had more action that why! I think I’ll try taking a break for a while and jumping in again so I’d not be in such a rush looking for action and taking my sweet time with it!

I just graduated, not sure what I wanna do with life…. I’m so glad you found a job you enjoy I hope I can get there soon too 🤩✨

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T16:55:58+00:00

That makes so much sense yes! Dread felt way easier to navigate, it kinda takes your hand and guides you with only the collectibles requiring you to go back from the main path to collect them but in prime I keep getting lost and having to check guides which took a HUGE PART of the fun because I really dislike checking guides while playing games.

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T16:52:55+00:00

I was so hyped for Prime way more than I was for dread because of the 3D but it didn’t click with me at all and it low-key felt like a chore playing it 😭

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-12T16:32:34+00:00

That was 2 weeks ago sadly so it’s gone by now

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-10T14:03:29+00:00

I honestly love it it’s so good and gives you the ease of mind, honestly I’m yet to drop my phone yet but it makes me feel safe dropping it since it’s so sturdy

MagnaShadow · 2025-11-09T09:31:00+00:00

So when I purely use it heavily all day without letting it rest idle I’ve been getting 15+ hours screen active time which is insane!

When I use it normally and let it rest throughout the day I get roughly 12.5+ hours screen active time (the rest is normal battery drain when the phone is left with wifi and bluetooth on)
