Just need some help with reading this stat, as opinions seem to vary greatly. Does this 10:40 hrs include the time the phone was plugged in, or is this only the time it was running on battery? Appreciate any help/clarification.
iPhone 17
Screen Active time includes all time your screen was on, whether plugged in or not.
Your 10:40 hrs is the total display-on usage since last full charge, regardless of charging status.

Charging time doesn’t inflate the usage stats—otherwise, everyone would suddenly become power-users just by watching YouTube while plugged in.

So the 10:40 is really battery only, then? Not that I’m remotely complaining, just pleasantly surprised if it is.

Wrong answer! If you were able to see the picture you could see that is not true.

So are you saying the 10:40 is definitely on battery only? It does look a bit too good to be true, just 64% battery usage for that amount of Screen Active time, which is why I’m a bit skeptical.
Forgot to post the specifics of the device, apologies for that.
