It took my battery from 80 to 77% for one generation on the default settings (384^2, 30 iterations). Less than a minute of compute time to complete a generation.

Iphone battery health reports a battery at 100% health. This is an iphone SE3.

Amazing how huge the difference in energy consumption is for the system in standby vs going full throttle.

EDIT: I generated 3 more images; every subsequent generation reduced battery capacity by another 2%. My phone doesn't seem to heat up at all, interestingly.

My iPhone 12 mini dropped from 76% to 71% and got noticeably warmer. Battery health is way worse than yours, 85%.

I wonder if generating a picture uses so much juice that it even drops the percentage while charging...

EDIT: Generating a picture while charging did not drop the percentage.

I generated a bunch of pictures while charging and the percentage still went up (albeit slowly).

Late to the party but depending on your charger voltage, it may be. e.g. I can charge my mbp on a cheap usb-usb-c charger but as soon as I use it _too_ much, it will stall, or worse, lower.
