iPhone 14 Pro Max Dominates Other Flagship Smartphones Including Pixel 7 Pro in Battery Life Tests

[Hushpuppy!]

I doubt many people keep the brightness level at 100%. That just isn't realistic or practical, unless one has a medical condition.

In my opinion, the test wasn't really reflecting typical usage.

I am happy with my iPhone Pro battery life thus far.

I always use my screen at %100 brightness. Have been doing so ever since I started using smartphones.

This is astounding to me for different reasons. I loved my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The battery life was INSANE. My 14 Pro Max is terrible compared to it though. I’ve tried about everything, only to find that the 14 PM is inferior.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve set my 14PM AOD to off, given the battery savings it offers, but I’ve only once had my battery level be below 40% by the time I go to bed at the end of the day, so it’s back on again. I really like the fact that unlocking is more seamless with AOD on, as I can just swipe up to unlock.

weird, my 14 PM on latest 16 non beta seems more like it has battery drain...

 

[citysnaps]

With a lot of use I easily get 2+ days charge on my 14 PM.

 

[MacDaddyPanda]

That's not surprising. My 13 Pro Max has awesome battery life during the day.

Wait - you man to tell me that the more aspects of the build you control, the better the results? Impossible! 🤪😂

 

[entropys]

I get nowhere near 11 hrs on my 14 PM at typical usage.

On iOS 16.0.3, I get around 4 to 4.5 hours for 50% battery.

Mostly on wifi and just surfing safari and watching maybe 45 mins of YouTube and another 45 mins of Apple Music.

I suggest there is something wrong with it.

Inconceivable!

13 Pro Max dominates the 14 Pro Max anyway...

Does it ?

Are you comparing ios 16 on 13PM to 14PM?
Cause ios 15 13PM wouldn’t be a like for like comparison

I wish i could set the screen brightness to near 0. I’m in my bed right now, in the darkness, and the lowest brightness it can go is still too bright.

And to think for years iPhone was always meme'd on for having the worst battery (especially after Throttlegate)

Not to mention being memed for not having the best performance and benchmarks.
What do you think now Android fanboys?

I haven't run into that problem. I keep mine on auto-brightness and occasionally I have to manually adjust.

Say Hi to the upcoming retinal detachment.

Maybe i just have too good eyes

really?

Same here, 100% since the iPhone 1.

 

[nvmls]

Apple is so far ahead they didn't even try with the 14.

 

[Leon Ze Professional]

The only surprising fact for me in this video was how the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra struggled against the Pixel 6 Pro. Which was notorious for battery issues.

14PM with AOD since launch day. Off charger at 6am with 100%. Get home around 5pm with 50% still left. Just like the 13PM. This is a huge plus for me. Imagine if I turn off AOD. Even better. Im good.

What’s your screen active time for that day under settings > battery > last 10 days?

It’s obvious that at 100% it’s even worse, when the „normal“ usage already harms.

 

[jimbobb24]

Thats absolutely great engineering.

Current tally...14 Pro Max has best processor, best screen, best battery, best camera, best purple colour,...are the speakers and call quality the best 🤩

19 hours of web browsing. I love these tests, but real world is in excess of a day as no one should be using their phones for that much non-stop. Factor in idle times, etc. aka standby, and the phones last much longer. I took mine off the charger at 6:45am and as of 4:15pm, some 11 hours and 30 minutes later I am at 68% remaining battery. 32% usage in just under 12 hours. Now this hasn't been heavy usage by any means. But typical.

13 Pro Max dominates the 14 Pro Max anyway...

I'm not so sure anymore. When the 14PM released, the battery life was abysmal, but now it is perfectly in line with my 13PM. Granted, the 13PM is a year old with 98% battery health, but I've got the always on display enabled on the 14PM, so it seems about right.

But definitely, the battery life was trash on the 14PM for a while.
