Finally booked Genius Bar. This phone has to be swooped out.
This battery is insane. Insanely BAD.

Facebook does that to batteries. I left FB about 5 years ago, and it drained every phone battery I had then and so I’m assuming they have not improved it much since. I know at times they would improve it due to customer complaints but then it would rebound back to being a battery hog. I don’t use my Twitter app much so I don’t know if that contributes to your problem. I use Twitter on the browser since I don’t use it often.
I use both Android and iPhones at the same time because I have a line for each platform and it did not matter which phone I was using, the battery drain was astonishing. That app does a lot of nasty sneaky things in the background.
Looking at your apps that are in use I am not surprised at your screen on stats. That’s not to say there might not be something wrong with your battery, but I think the apps you commonly use are battery hogs.
For the sake of your sanity don’t ever get the 2020 iPhone SE. That’s almost my battery stats without using any apps but those that come with the phone!
I own and use the Apple battery case for my 11 Pro. It’s fantastic and I highly recommend it if you are going to using your phone the same way your usage stats snapshot indicates.
Also look at your settings and try turning OFF background app refresh on FB.

Everything is turned off including Bluetooth, location etc. I’ve tried without Facebook app and same result using safari for FB.
This is most definitely not accept for a 6 month old 11 pro. Battery health now at 95% also
My 11 Pro is at 97% after 8 months. I don’t use any social media apps and actually since I own other phones I don’t use this one heavily. I even try to not let it dip below 80% charge.
Something in the last month and a half took one percent health off. I wonder how my battery would be with your usage patterns. To be honest I’ve never been particularly impressed with the battery in any of my iPhones. Sometimes an iOS update itself causes battery life to really take a dip.
I wish you luck on getting help from Apple. My recommendation of the battery case still stands even if you get the phone replaced.
My 11 Pro is at 100% after a year and I use everything.
Is background app refresh off for Facebook? That app loves juice.
My 11 Pro battery health is at 86%! Warranty ran out yesterday and Apple won’t do anything unless it’s under 80%. Oh well.
Do you live an area of good signal strength? I keep forgetting in reference to battery longevity that I live in a bad signal strength area. However, my 11 Pro hasn’t had a sim in it since June and I do use WiFi calling on it now.
Ah that may help, at least in the case of your phone vs mine. My 11 Pro had to function for several months in a commute with really awful signal strength. At home it shouldn’t matter since I use wifi calling now. Or at least I don’t think it should. But I am no expert.

These stats a re pretty shocking, my 11 Pro Max makes it through a full day and then some, I literally cannot kill it at all.
This is my usage now at 2:17am I am about to go to bed, I am at 19%
OMG look at you with full bars of signal strength on Vodacom! I’ve got TWO bars on AT&T, which is supposed to be a big name carrier in the US.These stats a re pretty shocking, my 11 Pro Max makes it through a full day and then some, I literally cannot kill it at all.

While I live in a semi rural area, it is in a wealthy county with some big name businesses in the city part of the county not that far from my town. I’m not buried in the backwoods or swamps or something. But this is all I get and when I drive around town to friends houses and schools it is really bad in places. I swear we have got some janky infrastructure in the USA.
Both my 11Pro and my SE have battery issues. My SE has been with me only since June and is down to 98% battery health already and it’s not even being used all the time since as you know from the Android part of the forum I also have Pixels and an S20 handy and in frequent use along with the 11Pro.
So to me, OP’s battery woes don’t look too freaky. I’d be interested in seeing how their signal strength fluctuates as they go through their day. Their cell signal is at full strength but their WiFi isn’t.
My 11 is at %89 . It's about to be 1 year old. How do you keep your battery like that ? A I missing something or doing something wrong? I know I should stop thinking about it but after I read these comments I feel bad...
So if I even call Apple they can't do anything because it's not under %80? So sad. Shouldn't these batteries be at %80 after 2 years around at least 600ish cycle?
They should be able to replace your battery. However, they might charge you for it.
Uh, so it's better to wait for it to drain around %80. I don't want to spend that amount of money right know :/
You can try it out and see what they say -- they might end up doing it for free.
This is what the Apple website says
Your battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery service. Prices and terms may vary.
Is it possible to see how many charge cycles your iPhone has?
for us i think it’s not. I was just on phone with Apple. He did some diagnosis and analyzing and told me my cycle. So if you call them they can help you about it.
Dang.. here I was getting worried because my 11 pro battery is at 98%. I’ve had it since launch day.
Mine is at 95%. Consider how much I've used it since launch day I'm quite happy with that.
This is my first time using a phone for a full year and I’ve enjoyed the 11 pro. From reading; this seems to be the norm and nothing to be worried about. If a 2% drop in percentage a year is normal, then I can live with that.
Bro... your phone usage is not healthy lolThese stats a re pretty shocking, my 11 Pro Max makes it through a full day and then some, I literally cannot kill it at all.
