Waiting my XS Max 256GB gold arrival. In the meantime I have one Xs 64GB gold for sale ?

Anyone interested ? 3950. Sealed. HK.

Yes I saw it but then still pretty impressive of them. Many new user might get conned on that.

Pretty close to Qoo10's offer of 3,899 back during 11.11. All the best!

wow, amazing, thanks, didn't follow the exact specs already, every year go new model ,out of touch already, haha

True. When I first read that the Max would have > 3K battery, guess I had high(er) expectation given that iOS does good battery management but it wasn't so. Had just enough to spare to make it back home.

What about the other Max users here? How's the battery life for you all?

Maybe it's the huge AMOLED screen but isn't it supposed to be more energy efficient?

Since at work have to use WhatsApp a lot, the drain was quite a bit, which about sums up my so called power use no games etc.
But then prior to Max, had a short 'affair' with the Note 9. Thinking the 4K battery would go some way, what a disappointment! Maybe others have a different experience.

I am sure the XR will be quite long lasting.

Pocketnow's review on the web does complain about the above issue.

Yep in fact it was from Qoo10.

No point keeping it and probably sell it at the price I buy plus a bit of extra for the time seems reasonable.

Thanks

How about Xr?

I would say my ex ip8+ has a better battery life vs the Max
Infact battery standby drain is only excellent of you had the phone fully charged. I had tested and found at 80% charge and below drain is poorer averaging 4 to 5% over 7 hours standby
Vs my other Note9 there is no significant difference in actual usage. Of course the N9 battery capacity is larger

My Xs Max is good. Probably a hardware problem? Just sent in service center to check?

Nice. I used the X-One Drop guard previously for my P20 Pro. It's a good solid case for that price point!

Ya, I also had high expectations for the Xs Max, being the "biggest" battery Apple had ever put into an iPhone, but while it was adequate to get me through the day without the need of a powerbank, it was not much different from my previous iPhone X, which also got me through the day (barely) without needing a charge midway through. I'm running down my Xr battery now to see how long it goes - last plugged out from charging was on Saturday night, around 10.30pm. It's now at 68% (I hardly use my gadgets on Sundays - need to rest, hehe)

For me personally though, I feel the 8+ and the Xs Max had about the same battery life - both can't beat the excellent 7+ previously. And you're absolutely right, in terms of usage, no significant difference between the Xs Max and Note 9 in terms of battery drain. My standby drain at night when the phone is not at 100% is also about 4% (over a 8 hour period), for me that's acceptable coz I have a couple of WhatsApp group that runs very active even when I'm in bed!

Used to have this issue prior to 12.1, even though phone’s wifi bar is full. I’ll be getting like 0.5x mbps from speedtest. But when turning off wifi and testing LTE, LTE would be normal. I’m not sure if rebooting the phone once in a while because of speakergate helps me to lessen on this Wifigate occurrence or not. But, not impress with the bugs in Xs / Xs Max. My old 6s+ of 3 years , I’ll maybe need to reboot only 6 month once. This USD1099 buggy phone needs to reboot every week or two
