iPhone 14 Models Offer an Additional Hour of Battery Life

[MacRumors]

With the iPhone 14 series, Apple mentioned larger batteries that last for a longer period of time, but the company did not go into detail about the increases that we can expect. As it turns out, all of the iPhone 14 models do offer longer battery life, coming in at right around an hour of improvement with direct comparisons to prior-generation iPhone 13 models.

The iPhone 14 lasts for up to 20 hours for video playback, up to 16 hours for streaming video playback, and up to 80 hours for audio playback. The iPhone 13 lasted for 19 hours for video playback, 15 hours for streaming video playback, and 75 hours for audio playback.

The iPhone 14 Pro lasts for up to 23 hours when watching videos (up from 22), up to 20 hours for streaming video (no improvement) and up to 75 hours for audio playback (no improvement).

The iPhone 14 Pro Max lasts for up to 29 hours when watching videos (up from 28 hours), up to 25 hours for streaming video (no improvement), and up to 95 hours for audio playback (no improvement).

There is no direct comparison for the iPhone 14 Plus because it is a new size, but it lasts for up to 26 hours for video playback, up to 20 hours for streaming video playback, and up to 100 hours for audio playback. It falls right in between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and has the longest audio playback length.

All four iPhones are fast charge capable and can charge to 50 percent in 30 to 35 minutes with a 20W or higher power adapter.

Better battery life is always a good thing!

 

[MiBook84]

But still uses the horrible useless lightning port. So crazy stupid. USB-C would have made wonders. Sad.

 

[Shaggymax]

Battery is great! My only miff, why start at 128gb of storage ugh hehe!

 

[Sasparilla]

Nice to see added battery time, will always take that.

But still uses the horrible useless lightning port. So crazy stupid. USB-C would have made wonders. Sad.

Oh, don't be sad, there's been rumors for several years now that the less durable and slightly larger USB-C connector is coming next year (iPhone 15).

 

[deathcab]

Delete.

iPhone 14 Pro Plump with a nice fat battery that lasts a couple days would be alright with me.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Can never go wrong with the extended battery life. This is great news.

Is this just for Wifi?

5G is a really harsh drain on battery life.

But why would Apple get rid of it? It makes them money. It would be against Apple's best interest.

It would be pro-consumer, but Apple really, really likes money.

5G may be a harsh battery drain on Android phones, but it's definitely not on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

 

[macduke]

I'll take it. Was surprised to see it on 4nm process node when all the rumors seemed to be suggesting it was going to stay on 5nm. This probably helps the efficiency so the display can get even brighter, the display can always stay on, and the battery life still increased. Pretty wild. Won't be long until we're on 3nm and then 2nm and then Moore's law starts coming apart at the seams, lol.

 

[nfl46]

Lol, the 13PM was already destroying competition with its battery life, now its even better. Jeezzzz, Apple.

 

[h51c]

I didn't see any mention of the rumored 30W charging support, was that a quiet footnote anywhere?

 

[igneousc]

honestly would prefer my 13 pro max(soon to be 14) to be lighter with the current battery life.

USB-C would be invaluable to those exporting huge video files.
(cameras are getting so good) do we really need 8K?
Otherwise most would probably not see a difference.

5G may be a harsh battery drain on Android phones, but it's definitely not on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Definitely a big battery drainer on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

An increase of only one hour in battery life is pretty insignificant if you ask me. Quite disappointing.

 

[tridley68]

Bigger battery I'll take it

 

[melgross]

I brought this up somewhere else yesterday, but it may be an explanation. I haven’t read the data sheet on Apple’s website yet, but I’m wondering if this battery life number is including the always on display? So while the newer screen, SoC and slow refresh helps battery life when in always in mode, it still sucks battery. I would think that Apple lets us turn it off, and possibly we’ll get mor hours then.

my Apple Watches do get a few more hours without the always on feature turned on and I suppose the same thing would be true here.

Why? I hope they never switch to USB-C. Lighting is so much smaller and already in use with Magic Mouse, Keyboard, phones, iPad, AirPods, Beats, Apple TV…

A "Pro" device needs faster connectivity than USB 2.0 in 2022.

It takes ages to transfer over ProRAW photos or ProRes video off an iPhone via Lightning which uses 1990's era USB 2.0 speeds.

Is mandatory by the EU.

 

[staypuftforums]

LOL. What a crappy "upgrade". Worst in the history of iPhone.

 

[smorrissey]

and the same 4G RAM on non pro models wee!!
