Battery life on the 12 mini is uncharacteristically sub par

Thank you for the advice, but I'm not really able to do that right now (no genius bars near me). May I know on average how much screen on time you get on your 12 mini?

That would be totally useless information. Every iPhone has different apps, and every user uses different apps for different periods of time. And “screen on time” is only one factor in determining battery life. What you are doing in that “screen on time” matters a lot. For example, if you are watching videos or playing animated games your phone will use much more energy than if you are viewing still photos or browsing static web sites.

You can get much more useful information by going to Settings/Battery and seeing which of YOUR apps are using the most energy.

Hello again ~ I charge my iPhone per the info * Lawrence Finch* posted . I use my iPhone pretty heavily …hotspot and maps at same time and never have to recharge my device until night. Perhaps you can find one of Apple’s Authorized service provider’s that is closer. If you have recently updated …try a forced restart.You may also want to make sure you are updated to 15.6.

Hello ~ I too have a 12 mini and have no issues. I may be best to take it in and have it checked out…

Are you charging the phone overnight, every night? If the phone is working properly, and you do this, the phone should not need charging until the next evening.
