iPhone 15 Pro Battery comparison // It doesn't look good for the 15 Pro

would be interesting to see how much screen time the people with battery problems have.
here i am with my 13mini and no problems at all..
i mean in this test the 15 pro got more than 9h of usage. seems like a long time to me.
lol the dude is comparing like 10 phones and all you comment is why he didn't have 11 phones?
The YouTube drop tests are ridiculous since each drop is different. But I think this video is quite good. All phones get the same workflow. This video definitely is scientifically correct.
i mean... it seems pretty obvious to include the phone it replaces..
I hope you are joking. At that rate you could only browse the web for like 18 hours. That’s so horrible?
The regular sized pros have never been great for battery. It's the main reason I bought the 15 pro max.
Apple should have emphasized they increased performance, gpu, etc while maintaining battery life. People would be less surprised.
If you consider the advancements in performance by comparison to 14 pro then 15 Pro is more efficient as it retains about the same battery life as 14 Pro while being a much more capable device on nearly every front.
But if you don’t care about the upgraded performance and just want as much battery life as possible then just go with the 15 Plus.

Always hated my 13 Pro battery, roughly 6h SOT over 24h of standby. I see it was a common problem. Main reason why I went 15 Pro Max. Anyway I took good care of my battery by rarely going over 80% and not using MagSafe and 2 years after it's now at 96% health. Was 98% this summer
When are we getting those nuclear batteries that only need to be charged once a month?
I have the 15 pro, coming from the 14 pro and so far I’m loving my battery life. My 14 pro was horrible when it came to having to charge it throughout the day. Overall very happy with the 15 pro.
Video is something else entirely. Doesn’t use much CPU/GPU and the display matches the refresh rate to the framerate of the video, which is way below 120Hz. Basically none of the Pro powersuckers are active 
True. But Apple doesn't even have a hint of a suggestion that it's normal for the Pro Max to last less than the Plus.Video is something else entirely.

We need more tests to see if it was just a fluke or if it's real.
Aww, stop the “indexing” crap already.Phones are not even allowed to index while being used.
Here is another test. The results are not better.
He got 10h 31min out of it vs. 11h 41min in the first video. The 14 lasted for 9h 59 min vs. 10.54 in the first video.
He says that the 14 was a lot warmer and blames iOS 17.
So what is going on here, battery lottery, iOS 17 or something else?

New iPhone 15 Pro customer here, coming from 14 Pro… I think somehow the newer phone has worse battery life than my year-old one. I’d get the Max but I no longer need that screen size.
I’d rather have a thicker phone with a bigger battery. Feels like a fat middle finger to people who are trying to enjoy their ecosystem.

I wonder if the titanium allows more heat transfer? I upgraded from the X (which got very hot) to the 14Pro and rarely feel any warmth
It’s just a annual battery complaint thread 😊
6:30 am-10:00pm 7.5 hours of screen time with 40% remaining, nothing to complain about 🌸😊
There are a lot of factors. I’ll check to see how my 15 Pro does after the first few weeks. After one day I can’t really say. Battery got worst for my 14 Pro Max after installing iOS 17. Just as I was picking up the 15 Pro in the morning yesterday, my 14PM was dipping into 50%, barely heavy usage.
Apple's claims of battery life only involve streaming music and video. It's nothing like the test being shown in this YouTube video.
