35% whilst having better perfs ? sounds unreal
normally it should be 15% in case of better perf right ?

iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Bionic Chip Could Be 35% More Energy Efficient, Enabling Longer Battery Life

No chance. It will be the exact same design as the 14, with USB-C.
Yea they'd never add too much at once unless they think they can load it in the Ultra at an Ultra price
My 14 iPhone Max Pro lasts me all day (0530 to 2100) with usually close to 70% battery remaining. I have screen constantly on in the off position.
Even my iWatch Ultra has nearly the same percentage even with being on my wrist starting at 0200 every morning. It also has the always on display turned off.
So the two battery systems are more than adequate.
The watch does not really need a faster processor as far as I can see. So new health related features are where I think it will go. I would imagine that the periscope lens possibly mentioned for the 15 iPhone top model will require more battery to adjust than what we have now.

From one iphone to the next it's always iterative. And there is also, on these forums, substantial differences in the use of terminology. For example, one persons' small small iterative changes may be another persons' "major gotta have updates" and similar for the reverse. People will do what they do.
USB-C won't stop from making the iphone 15 an S model to the iphone 14. All iphones are iterative to the previous generation.
Expecting 35% better battery life will probably leave you disappointed.
“Last minute” is relative. This would have been a year+ before release probably. You cannot just throw in some old graphics on a new die and it would magically work. It would have been months of implementation plus testing and then manufacturing and more testing.
Raytracing on the iPhone means Raytracing on the iPads and Macs.
I just wonder who is using all these capabilities? It really doesn't take much resources to type a Macrumors or post a Tweet.
The 6.7” 15 Ultra is the one rumored to get titanium and the periscope camera in case you were thinking the 6.1” 15 Pro was getting those new features.
The periscope/telescopic camera and lighter metal (titanium) is rumored to be exclusive to the larger 15 Ultra with the 6.1” 16 Pro getting those features a year later.
same with my mini 12 and the MagSafe battery. Im always trying ot use the phone less so it doesnt eat away my time on this planet.
Same here. The battery is down to 84% and the 12 mini never had the battery life if a 13 mini though. That said, my 12 mini dropped to 84% capacity fairly quickly but then has stayed there long after warranty ran out. What’s with that?
I am hoping for something like the mini in the 15. Heck they could just drop an A16 in the mini shell if Apple wants to be a miser and it would be a buy.
Better battery life is always a great thing. I remember how much more improved battery life was on the 13 series compared to the 12. Looking forward to those improvements in efficiency and USB-C/Thunderbolt.
The 13 and 14PM’s get killer battery life. Going to be amazing to see the jump with 3nm A17. Can’t wait to see 3nm on Macs. Same efficiency boost will apply. Going to be awesome. 3nm M3 in MBA will be big jump on top of already incredible battery life
We’ve been here before
Even if a17 is 35 percent more efficient the SoC is not the be all end all energy consumer of the total energy footprint and won’t translate to 35 percent longer. Screen and radios factor in a lot as well
Maybe like 10-15 percent better battery optimistically
Honestly I'm ready for something exciting. The way it was when the first few iphones came out.
A fold would be perfection. Even a slide Like the mighty Nokia 8850. Just something so it doesn't feel like I'm buying the exact same thing every year.
