    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS XS Max battery life

    Apple always claims better battery life for new phones. How's your battery life in the real world? XS Max that I have here has worse battery life than 8 Plus.

Battery life was great until Sunday, when I picked it up around mid-day to see it was at 20%. Normally on Sunday my phone sits on a ledge and goes...

    iPhone X Does turning Cellular Data off while on WiFi REALLY save battery life?

    Let's myth bust this. I've heard that the phone uses more power to maintain a wifi signal rather than a 3G signal. That probably explains why sometimes when I pick up the phone after not using it for an hour or two, the status bar reads "3G", and then shows the wifi logo after a second or two...

    I'm curious with all of the extra hardware, cameras, sensors for the unlocking via face in the X that this phone being smaller physically than the 6S+, 7+ and 8+ that logically the battery must be smaller so the battery life must be less. So what's the real story? Have you found yourself...
