The Next iPhone XR Will Supposedly Have a Nearly 6% Larger Battery

Which world do you want to live in? Lol I’d pick moving around all day without worry!!

I would pick the heavier iPhone without a charger too. Function over Form FTW!

It’s true. I’ve moved from the world of top of charging & full charging my iPhone 7 to having the attitude of ‘I might as well charge it’ to my XR.

Put the XR on battery saving mode at 100% and keep it on it and it’s going to last about 30 hours, easily.

I cannot stress enough how transformative this is. I simply never worry that the XR is going to run out of power when I’m out.

Yes, the XR is pretty heavy but it’s only now that I feel that I’m starting to return to the ‘use and forget’ experience of my old Nokia soap bar phones (which admittedly lasted a week on one charge - I’m not sure that the XR is quite there yet!).

This. Power saving mode on the max leads to great battery life the way I use the phone. While I charge the max every day, I could easily get two days out of a charge. I start from about 80% every day and most days I come home with 50%. The worst of days I come home with 30%.

I train daily and just want a modern phone experience. Holding the xr and seeing the huge bezels making the phone wide with a narrow screen reminds me of the 90’s phones. Feel is a lot what products and design is about. It just not feels modern being that bulky, thick and heavy.

People use their phones for hours in the hand and thus a phone must be light to be very good. Very simple.

Lol "90's phones" up until about 2 years ago those were the bezels on every phone. Get real. The bezels on the XR are not that large, quit being so dramatic.

3100 mAh is so 2012. Even budget phones come with 4000 to 5000 mAh.

Because the operating system and hardware is inefficient?

I know these are just mockups, but I really hope they switch up the design a little. 5 years of bigger or even bigger iPhone 6 is enough. Personally I’d like something that calls back to the squared off iPhone 4 look. Kind of like the newer iPad pros have.

Or iphone 5... the square edges really give it premium feeling and make it look really distinct from competitors, even under a case. Now iphones look like a regular phone...

is power savings mode the same as "low Power Mode"?

Yes. Exactly the same. The battery indicator on the phone is yellow instead of green.

What? Up until the 8 plus and Xr phones in that size were light. And the side bezels around the Xr are very large.

"very large" no they aren't.... Not to mention iphones have been getting heavier since the 6s.

What? iPhone 7 is lighter than 6s. Fact.

But in general. Yes.
