Is this normal or am I using my phone too much?

My battery cycle count is already at 103, and I’ve only had this phone for a month. Is that bad?

Yeah, that’s definitely not normal. Maybe take a break from your phone, go outside, read a book or something.

How did you even hit 100 cycles in a month??

You probably should’ve just gotten the Pro Max, right?

Didn’t think the battery on the 16 Pro would be this bad. Plus, I don’t really like huge phones, so I guess this is the trade-off.

@Uri
I don’t get what you mean, my battery life has been great. It’s basically 1% per minute of screen time :joy:

Let me guess, you have the 16 Pro? If you’re charging 3 times a day, the Pro Max might’ve been the better choice.

Yeah, too late now :joy::joy: I’ll just use my old 12 Pro at home and keep my 16 Pro for when I go out.

You’re probably on TikTok all day.

You’re not wrong.

Put your phone down once in a while. Go outside, touch some grass.

It just depends on how much you use it. I only use mine for about 2 hours a day, and I can go almost two days without charging.

Maybe turn off background app refresh for Instagram and Snapchat?

Already turned off everything.

Oh okay, I just thought they were still on since they show background activity.

@Valen
Honestly, I think I just use my phone way too much.

4 hours of screen-on time from 80-20% isn’t too bad, considering the apps you use. How long does 1% last for you? Mine lasts around 4-5 minutes on the 16 Pro after the update :sob:

@Valen
For me, maybe 2 minutes per 1% :joy: and I keep my brightness low too.

That’s some serious battery drain… Try recalibrating your battery a few times, it helped me!
