My Xs 64gb Battery seems to be depreciating shockingly fast lately.
e.g. 4.5 hrs screen time on.
As a moderate surfer and light t.v. Viewer I'm dong well to get through a day or often much less.

Is it the Battery or ios 13.1 pb's.
Could my year long wireless charging have a negative effect on Battery life/performance.
1st year complete -93% max capacity -that I'm not concerned with.

Screentime uses a lot of battery. I turned it off on iOS 12 and noticed my battery lasted twice as long. Haven’t used it since so I can’t comment on iOS 13 specifically.

I noticed my X having really poor battery life as well granted I'm on 13.1. Just today my battery drained 10% while in low power mode in standby. My battery is rather healthy too at ~95%.

Did it last longer before? If so, change your battery.

There's been a noticeable change recently, possibly later ios13 pb's -though enjoying ios13 other than battery useage.
I would think that the battery was offering an hour or two longer.

Battery life on my XS Max has tanked since iOS 13 came out, doesn’t seem all that much better on 13.1 so far but I’ll give it another couple of days.

Not best pleased as I’m skipping this year’s upgrade for once and waiting for 2020.

The phone is probably still indexing from a software update, battery usually takes a hit the next few days

My XS battery dropped swiftly since I last checked. In early August, it was at 95% on iOS 12.4.1. Now on iOS 13, it's dropped to 91% capacity. I still get through the day and really haven't changed my usage of the device (I consider myself a moderate user throughout the day).

The battery is also draining a lot faster on my Xs since upgrading to iOS 13. I have not seen any improvement after a few days. Hopefully iOS 13.1 will fix it. I had extremely great battery life on iOS 12. Now 10% seems gone in a blink!
