For those who have watched me torture my iPhone 13 for the last month, I'm happy to report that the battery capacity dropped to 80% yesterday, and I have an express replacement on the way. I started at 83% in mid-February, and have been recording 4K 60FPS video to drain the battery several times a day. It takes around 90 minutes to charge to 100% from USB C and about 2 hours to die completely, although sometimes the temperature makes the app crash. Despite reports of crashing apps, high temperatures, bad battery life and premature shutdowns (with 10-15% battery remaining), Apple wouldn't replace the battery under Apple Care until the battery got to 80%. So, I got it there. I played the stupid game and won the stupid prize.
@x0@Estrella Clubhouse does it too. The way they both handle audio is very similar. No other app manages to do good quality audio in both directions. It could be that they both need to be more efficient with battery, it could be an Apple API issue. I wish someone cared enough to solve this, but Clubhouse has had its 15 months of fame at this point. If it hasn't been fixed by now, it never will be.
