A smaller battery in the iPhone 7, but it explodes less. Sooooo, feature, not 'fault'?
Neither does Samsung Galaxy S7. You're thinking about the edge and note models?

Exactly!
I didn't even know the iPhone could do 3G! An honest review looks at modern technology like LTE and secondarily 4G. To go all the way back to 3G is a major red flag.
T The correct thing would be to do a battery capacity to battery life ratio and then comparing the different smartphones.
Or, ya know, get a flip phone.try the following:
What a lot of people are missing is iCloud and devices associated to your iCloud account. It can put a hit on your battery.
Perform the following:
- Go to Settings - iCloud - select your account (very top selection) - Devices - remove all associated devices to your account. you may even see devices that you no longer use. <-- this is just temporary. once your battery life gets better enable all the associations.
- Go Settings - iCloud - disable iCloud Drive, Mail, Safari, Home, Notes, Keychain, and Backup
- Settings - iCloud - Share My Location - Disable Share my Location. Remove all associated devices for share my location as well under 'From' by swiping left and deleting each device
- Settings - Privacy - Location Services - System Services - Disable HomeKit, Location-Based Apple Ads, Location-Based Suggestions, Share My Location, and Disable Frequent Locations. Disable everything in Product Improvement
- Settings - Privacy - Advertising - Enable Limit Ad Tracking
- Settings - Sound & Haptics - Disable System Haptics at the bottom
- Settings - Photos & Camera - disable iCloud Photo Library, and iCloud Photo Sharing
- If you want, go to Settings - General - Background App Refresh and completely disable the feature
Guarantee you will get improvement in battery life after performing all of the above.
You forgot the lack of headphone jack.iPhone 7, a total compromise in every way. Hissing, poor battery, scratchable (on select models). Dud device +.
Get this year over with and bring on 2017 and an all new ceramic glass iPhone!
How so, it's measuring battery life, end of. That is all folk are interested in. If Apple were too dumb/cheap to put a larger battery in, then that's their fault.I saw in another article about the Which test that they even noted the fact that the iPhone 7's battery was tiny compared to others - 1960mAh vs the HTC 10 at 3000mAh and that "it should hardly be surprising that one battery nearly half the size of another offers roughly half as much charge.".
Hmmm, doesn't that make this a comparison of Apple's to watermelons? Which? is simply taking advantage of consumers stupidity in making a comparison that from the start is weighed one way.
Lack of headphone jack is not really a design flaw, it's more a design decision.You forgot the lack of headphone jack.![]()

Are you moaning that a Ferrari is faster than a Ford cos it's got a bigger engine as well....

What's the point of purchasing a connected device that operates within and communicates with an ecosystem of we disable all of the sharing features?
So if you are a salesmen who needs a phone to make many calls out of the office all day long are you gonna say, I'll have an iPhone, it's OK that it only last 50% of the time as other smartphones but it's actually a miracle as it's battery is 40% of the size. Yay for optimisation!! Sod the fact that he's gonna be without a phone for the afternoon eh, in your world that doesn't matter.. have I missed any real world common sense here?Really? You think comparing phones with known different battery sizes is a fair or even smart comparison? The car comparison is like saying the suv that gets 15mpg is clearly better because it can drive 375 miles on a tank of gas, where the economy car can only go 300 miles (forget about the fact that it gets twice the mpg's but holds half the amount of gas). It's a ridiculous comparison. If you want to know which system and phone uses its battery most efficiently, then you need to balance out battery size across the models tested, otherwise it's just click-bait marketing.
I can't help how often you do or don't hear something.hear this all the time. not an original statement. the steps provided is to triage your phone. once you get better battery life slowly turn the features back on...
ok sorryI can't help how often you do or don't hear something.
I didn't claim it was original. I was simply adding my personal thoughts/opinions to a public forum.
Agreed, like benchmarks, real world usage is the final arbiter.While battery rundown tests are nice I think most phones will last a whole day for most people.
Hands up who would like an iPhone 7 Pro? 2mm thicker, no turret on the back, and bigger battery to last all day.
The last 3 generations have had great battery life, especially the Plus. I could easily go 2 days with my 6s Plus and have never had a problem in the past getting my iPhone 6 through a day with at least 30% remaining over 18 hours. I don't disable location services or turn off background app refresh or anything. They've had better battery life than my other Android phones that I've used in the same time period as owning my iPhone.Not a big surprise, iPhones have had terrible battery life for the last few generations at least. It depends how you use them I guess, but it annoys me that I have to carry an external battery pack if I'm away from mains points for a day.
Who makes phone calls any more? The iPhone 7 only loses badly on battery life while making phone calls. Using Wifi for internet use, it's neck and neck, and something people wouldn't notice.
It's an article with a misleading headline to get the anti-Apple people riled up and feeling superior. It means nothing in real life.
I am guessing you never use your phone and it stays in standby mode lmao.....That's odd. My iPhone 6 still gets 2, sometimes 3 days on a charge.
