I wonder if battery age skews this test towards the new phones.
I reckon Arun once mentioned that all of the phones he uses for the battery testing are new phones.
I’m glad I got the basic iPhone 15 to replace my old iPhone 8 Plus. I don’t need all the bells and whistles of the pro line.
Apple definitely should have added a bigger battery to the Pro lineup.
My only explanation is that the ProMotion, hence the GPU, decided to consume more. It’s evident on how YouTube and the games depleted 30% of the battery while the iPhone 15 Plus was just chill.
And that seems like a problem on both Pro Max. Videos and Games on 120Hz means low battery life. I wonder how it would have lasted ProMotion was disabled and keep the brightened at the same nits.
I wonder how it would have lasted.
I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You’d still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.
I guess one could switch on low power mode to limit it to 60 Hz. Not very hopeful though because I’ve read of 13/14 Pro users getting crazy lag when on low power.
14 Pro User here.
Yes. It’s crazy. Typing in any app makes it lag, no matter if iMessage, Mail, WhatsApp, internet, in here, Notes…
The rest is lag-less. So as long as you don’t type you’re good using power saving mode.
Are all the iPhones at 100% battery health though?
I still refuse to watch someone who can’t spell their own name correctly
