iPhone 11 Pro Outlasts iPhone 12 and 12 Pro in Extensive Battery Life Test

Heavy a lot words for ... just the failure of Apple e.g.you are a tourist in a strange city with a lot of videos and photos and in connection to others by mobile data, using map – then you love to take a battery pack with you in addition to other holiday equipment? Proposal:we could get even thinner iPhones – I wish you much fun at holiday!

Yes. I plan ahead but having enough capacity for a few days without using a charging brick. In addition to whatever else I carry an anker 20000 mah battery pack, cables and car charger in my back pack.

I agree, that sounds crazy. My 11 Pro is at 100%, likewise charged every night (albeit with a 12W charger).

Is there a % you don’t let your phone fall below?

I have found the iPhone 12 Pro battery to be just as bad as iPhone X.

Even if I go by the OP's post, the 12 Pro should be a significant jump over the X, all else equal, assuming both are new. Do a clean DFU restore and start without a backup restore. If that doesn't work, visit Apple.

Couldn't see any thread on battery life (apologise if there is) - but the battery life is very poor on my 12 Pro Max (I got less than 8 hours charge - it even discharged 12% when I plugged in a non-Apple charging cable.
I'm now connected to the 20W apple brick and using the supplied usb-c cable and charge has jumped up to 70%.

Update - I did some research and discovered that the primary battery drain was the Norton Security & VPN App (88%) so I turned off Background App refresh on this and several other apps - and battery life has definitely improved.

Not really. More than 9 out of 10 days I only charge when I go to sleep, and it's usually above 30%. Occasionally it has gone below 20%.

If it goes below, say 30% and it's early in the day, then I would recharge, but that has happened only a handful of times in the year I've had it.

Arun Maini today shared a new side-by-side iPhone battery life video test on his YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss, timing how long the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models last on a single charge compared to older models, with equal brightness, settings, battery health, and usage. All of the devices are running iOS 14 without a SIM card inserted.

In the test, the iPhone 11 Pro outlasted both the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, despite being a smaller 5.8-inch device. When the iPhone 12 Pro ran out of battery, the iPhone 11 Pro still had 18% battery life remaining, and when the iPhone 12 powered off, the iPhone 11 Pro still had 14% battery life remaining.

The final rankings ended up as follows:

• iPhone 11 Pro Max: 8 hours and 29 minutes
• iPhone 11 Pro: 7 hours and 36 minutes
• iPhone 12: 6 hours and 41 minutes
• iPhone 12 Pro: 6 hours and 35 minutes
• iPhone 11: 5 hours and 8 minutes
• iPhone XR: 4 hours and 31 minutes
• iPhone SE (2020): 3 hours and 59 minutes

These rankings are of course missing the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro mini, which will be available to pre-order starting November 6.

Teardowns and regulatory filings have revealed that the entire iPhone 12 lineup features slightly lower battery capacities. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models share a 2,815 mAh battery, for example, while the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are equipped with 3,110 mAh and 3,046 mAh batteries, respectively.

While the more power efficient A14 Bionic chip in Apple's latest iPhones helps to offset the lower battery capacities, this test shows that the iPhone 11 Pro still lasts longer than the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro under heavy, continuous usage.

Apple's tech specs indicate that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro provide up to 17 hours of video playback, compared to up to 18 hours on the iPhone 11 Pro, so Apple does acknowledge that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have slightly less battery life.

It will be interesting to see a real-world battery life test for the iPhone 12 Pro Max, as Apple's tech specs suggest that the device has equal battery life as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, at least based on its own metrics. Apple lists both devices as providing up to 20 hours of video playback and up to 80 hours of audio playback.

My 12 pro max is under 20% every day at this point but I use it quite a bit throughout the day.
