iPhone 12 pro max 256GB Battery Issue

I bought the phone a month ago. The battery is draining too fast. Anyone having the following problems?

  1. Phone is taking about half an hour from 0 to 60, after that, it takes about 2 hours from 60 to 100
  2. Battery draining too quickly from 80 to 0
  3. last about 6 hours on maps, that means the screen time is about 6 hours only

Hello,

A) The delayed charging is probably due to Optimized Battery Charging. See this:

About Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone

B) These are the standard steps for short battery life:

1) Have you tried a restart?  If not, do it now.

2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

3) Check “Battery Health” in the link: 

iPhone Battery and Performance

C) The Maps app is a battery hog.

D) See this for charging tips:

When to charge your iPhone or iPad

Good luck.
