Still though, if it offers same battery life as 11 pro max then its going be an absolute battery champ despite the smaller capacity

NO. Make the phone thicker, add bigger battery, eliminate camera protrusion. win-win-win
Why would you use a case? Haven't put a case on an iPhone in 13 years of using them.
I prefer what makes sense for my daily use. If A14 being more efficient means I'm still getting the same amount of usage despite smaller battery, then that's fine by me.
Giving people a bigger battery than they need isn't really good for the environment considering they sell 150 million a year and also considering how often people upgrade.

larger battery means more cost (which probably means $20-30 more expensive). and it's not good for the environment considering they sell 150 million iPhones every year.
With this list Apple would probably charge north of $2000 for the phone
I’m telling you, it’s only a matter of time before Apple puts nothing in the box.
Samsung has the Galaxy M series with 6000 and 7000 mAh batteries. Also, it’s very common in the low to mid range a Android to have at least around 5000 mAh batteries.
What this means is that the general public is not too concerned about battery life as long as it can last them around a day. Also, the idea of carrying a power bank is not strange anymore that people will just bring one while having a sleeker phone.
I would have been in, particularly with trade in value from 11 Pro Max. 1499 for a 256 and pencil capability and ProMotion is a steal.
You mean like Samsung did with their s20 flagships which flopped? Apple is smart enough to add this tech incrementally while keeping the (pro) prices the same as the previous year. In my region the 12 pro/pro max are actually 50 cheaper. 1449 lol.
And to the thread title. Apple didn't focus on the battery this year, but I'm positive they will next year. Especially if pro motion happens.
Good for you. I’m sure you’re proud of yourself.
as long as it’s not worse I’m fine - but I’m also fine with a bigger phone with a bigger battery to have 120hz and always on but guess we will have to wait until next year for that
but I’d honestly rather them do it right than have a 120hz battery drain and clearly they couldn’t get the 1hz-120hz for this year. Samsung just throws out unoptimized garbage to say “we look good on paper”
this iPhone is also cheaper in Canada (although I’m sure the carriers won’t make it any cheaper LOL)

We don’t actually know that yet.
So it went from unbelievable battery life to unbelievable battery life.
Such a shame.
Such a shame.
That is the reason though. They do create efficient chips and OS something Android OEM's cannot do so they keep putting bigger batteries into slimmer devices and then have to add cooling so they do not overheat. Reviews for the other 5G iPhones show that Apple seems to have avoided the battery drain that previous 5G phones have had. I do love my 11 Pro Max though I only charge every 2 days sometimes 2.5 days.
soon it will be another selection (as you can see, some wants fat, some want thin)
iPhone 13 Pro (12hrs)
iPhone 13 Pro slim (10hrs) 50% thinner
iPhone 13 Pro fat (20hrs) 2x thickness
I prefer lighter. It needs to make it a day, otherwise get the weight as low as possible.
Not really, there is always a “correct” balance point to choose, between bigger battery and lighter/thinner phones. The “correct” balance point is different from people to people, depending on their usage patterns. Apple needs to basically find the correct statistic average.
To my personal usage pattern, I definitely like the balance point Apple chose!
interesting— so then what would they sell next year. Yea I would love that model but that wouldn’t make sense for Apple
I’m not going to make any excuses, if it’s bad, I’ll send it back, stick with my 8+ or get a refurb 11 pro Max. I can imagine next week, people telling people that’s having battery life issues, to turn off 5G. That’s not acceptable, so much for “Hi, Speed”.
well, I read over 20 reviews and they all say 5g consumes a lot of power - I would expect the same even with the Max and with a physical smaller battery
Do you ask, because you don't know what a case is for?
It's not the same form factor. 12 Pro Max is thinner.
Apple has never put a X class chip in an iPhone, only the iPad.
Pro Max has 460 DPI, do you really need more than that? IMO, no.
7.5" is a tablet. Go get an iPad mini
Twice the battery size? Sure, for twice the phone thickness and nearly double the weight.
8GB of RAM? They just went from 4 to 6. We don't even know the impact on this. 6 might be good.
65-watt fast charger? It already uses the 20 watt fast charger. Samsung only goes up to 45w.
Did you just throw out random numbers?
Android phones need bigger batteries to make up for less efficient processors and software.
