Hi guys,

Just got myself an Iphone X recently, after reading the thread seems like everyone is enjoying a good battery life. Mine doesn’t seem to be the case, running 11.4 with most of the services turned off (app refresh, location, etc) for simple task like whatsapp & safari can only get me about 6 hours of screen time / 11 hours of standby.

On idle is fine, but when using can see like about 1% drop for every 2 minutes of usage. I did a clean ios wipe & clear out my iCloud but still the same. Hmm. Also just to note when using I can feel the area underneath the camera lens is slightly warm just enough for me to notice even for internet browsing.

I didn’t notice this with my iPhone 8 Plus, I’m not comparing but it’s just that I feel something is not right with the battery consumption.

Appreciate much your input on this!

Try download an app called status lite (because its free), after installing it, open the app and monitor the cpu. Normally it’ll go down to around 6-12%. If just shoot to 100% and didnt drop at all, try doing hard reset. If problem persist, try a new ios install using itunes.

If the problem still wont go away, well claim the warranty lah.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve downloaded the app & also used another app called Lirum Info Lite to check on the CPU usage and it’s between the range you mentioned. I’ve done multiple hard reset before & installed a clean 11.4 via itunes last week.

So my only take would be the iOS itself since my usage is very minimal/light unless there’s something wrong with the hardware.

I feel iPhone X's battery is quite decent.

Start the day with 100%, connected to AirPods with Spotify playing for average 2-3 hours during commute and work, can get usage around 6-7 hours daily (with lots of browsing / social app / YouTube) and end the day around 20% before charging again.

iPX battery is really decent, no complaints.

My phone is only connected to the apple watch & 90% on wifi most of the time. I’m getting similar battery life as per your usage but the thing is I’m not using the phone as much as you do.

Generally I’m not a heavy user but of course once in a while when out & about it matters.

Not sure about X but my wife’s 8 Plus with Qualcomm is definitely has a stronger reception & GPS seems to lock on pretty fast compared to my 8 plus.

Yup, iOS 12 PB just released hours ago. Just installed, battery life seems to be slightly better. Hope it gets better few days down the road once reindexing is done. Speed wise about the same on my iPhone X, but noticed a good speed improvements on iPhone 6s.

Really loving the grouped notifications!

I’ve not tried the Facetime, but I’m happy to report that iOS12PB1 has been really great. As of 9.45pm, about 12 hours since unplugged I’m currently at 70% with my regular usage + apple watch. Way better than 11.4 or 11.4.1 PB2.

No crashes or whatsoever. Local / 3rd party apps are running smoothly. This is the first beta release that is really stable I experienced so far.

The phone is my daily driver by the way.
