How fast should the battery run down? I've noticed shorter life recently, so I took a couple of snaps of the usage. Battery health reads at 85% but I did not buy this new and it's possible that it's already had a battery change. Seems to kinda run down quickly at the end, but that might be an illusion, based on what it shows.
Quick look turns up iOS 13 has shortened battery life? Maybe that's it?
Not sure how reading apple news can kill a battery so quickly. Reading the news for 16 minutes takes 38% of the battery? Heck running the GPS for an hour took less! I took it off charger at 7am, read the news for 16m apparently, took a bike ride and at 3:40 the low power indicator came on at 20%. I made sure to clear MMR after the ride as I've noticed it will run in the background for a long time. Edit: nevermind, it's not using 38% of the battery, reading the news for 21 minutes used 38% of the battery usage. Still. Rapid drain if you ask me.
Also, what is the difference between on and off screen time? Time spent running apps in the background?
I'm thinking I've got nothing to lose from ordering at $25 battery.
It seems to drop linearly, although the sudden drop at the end I was entering in calories--screen on, but it dropped kinda quickly if you ask me.
