I thought Qualcomm is better based on what I had read so far??

Yeah, that’s proven.

Yes. Apparently Intel struck up a good deal with Apple in making them the sole providers for modems.

Apple are currently in multi-lawsuits battle w Qualcomm

Tidbit:

Apple may slow iPhone data speeds due to dispute

The next iPhone may miss out on the faster gigabit LTE speeds coming soon to many carriers in the United States, according to a report from Bloomberg. Despite the legal battles, Apple is still using Qualcomm’s modems in its hardware. However, the company has also partnered with Intel in an effort to lessen its dependence on the chipmaker.


Qualcomm’s modems are the only ones on the market capable of supporting data transfers up to gigabit speed. But sources tell Bloomberg that Apple doesn’t want to create a discrepancy between similar products, so it will intentionally disable that feature in Qualcomm-powered iPhones to achieve parity with the ones sporting Intel modems.

If this approach sounds familiar, it is more or less what Qualcomm suggested in its countersuit against Apple. The iPhone 7 also featured both Qualcomm and Intel modems — a first for the brand — and Qualcomm believes Apple deliberately capped the performance of its chipsets so they wouldn’t be superior to Intel’s.

Gigabit LTE hasn’t arrived on American carriers yet, but they’re all experimenting with the technology. Many of the newest flagship phones on the market, like Samsung’s Galaxy S8, feature Qualcomm’s X16 modem, enabling them to take advantage of the upgraded infrastructure when it finally rolls out.

mine is Chrome,WhatsApp. those 2 are the most battery crunching apps on my Xs Max
but i dont really put my phone in "fast drain" category as it still can last me the whole day. drive to office at 6am, balik at 5.30, still left plenty of juice (60-65%)

Curious. Would using Safari reduce your battery drain? Since that seems to be the case for my MBP. Using chrome really eats away at my battery

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 19 2018, 03:55 PM)
Maybe just about, I think. For me the 6S Plus was ok but not as good as the 6 Plus (maybe 1GB RAM is the key, hahaha)...
I usually charge my phone at 8pm at night till about 10pm, then switch it to low power mode and go to bed as my day starts at 5.45a.m. Usually when I get home at about 7pm or so I'd have about 50% left or less, depending on how heavy my usage is throughout the day. Of course if I'm traveling long distance and don't have to drive then my usage is higher coz I'll be fiddling with my phone throughout the journey, hahaha... But haven't had a situation whereby I've had to look for a power bank before the end of the day since the days of the iPhone 5 - and long may that continue laugh.gif

For me the main ones are Safari, WhatsApp and Mail...
*
Conversely, I think my Max lasts longer than my 6S Plus. I remember having to rely quite a bit on a power bank back then. Probably because I actually played more games back then, as opposed to now sweat.gif

Mail draining the battery? How much of emails do you do from your phone man?

I think if you scroll the past few pages, quite a few people have the same issue on a Xs. XS max here. Battery still at 100% after a month of use. Sounds like a hardware issue. Pretty sure the battery isn't supposed to degrade that fast.

But I’m still using same SIM card on my iPhone XS and XR.
No issue like switch to airplane mode and on again.
More stable than previous

Unlike iphone 7 and Xiaomi keep consistently on and off signal.

Between my work and personal emails I’d get about 70-80 a day but maybe just 20 or less would require my attention smile.gif Used to do more emails on the iPad but just sold my 2018 one in anticipation of the new iPad Pros, haha...

Yeah, gaming is a big battery killer so unfair to compare between them and now!

Yup, saw that , they prefer on speed.
But speed here is very fast. So i don’t need that.
Still prefer on stable signal than fast speed.

For LTE, go to setting > mobile data > network selector and set ur network provider manually, it will help a bit

For Wi-Fi, go to setting > mobile data and scroll all the way down and u will see “Wi-Fi assist”, turn it off

My 4G and Wi-Fi is Very stable now after follow the setting above, try it out yourself

Damn. That's a lot of emails.

It's almost midnight and my phone is currently standing at 33%

I think the battery life is quite alright, all things considered. I don't even need to plug in when I use Waze nowadays.

Anyone with network problems?

I'm trying to figure if I have a problem with my LTE signal. Getting only about one to two megs on speed test...although I think it might be Celcom. Anyone else on Celcom experiencing horrible data from 10 pm onwards?

Ya, the battery life of the Xs Max is by no means bad, but maybe I had higher expectations for it, hahaha... In the meantime, the Xr battery life is making a good first impression on me... 48 hours already on standby, about 6 hours SOT and still 23% remaining thumbup.gif

No, at the moment, iOS 12 doesn't support dual WhatsApp.
