How long is the battery life of the iPhone 12 series 4 models? 5 hours test result

 
YouTuber has conducted a battery life test using the four models of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro released earlier, and the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max released on Friday, and the results are released.

Experiment with iPhone 12 series 4 models and iPhone 11 Pro Max

The Tech Chap, a tech YouTuber, conducted a battery life experiment by arranging four models of the iPhone 12 series and last year’s model iPhone 11 Pro Max.
 
The experiment was conducted with all iPhones fully charged, brightness adjusted to 150nits, Wi-Fi used, the app not running in the background, and volume set to 50%. The Tech Chap describes it as “an experiment that assumes a state of actual use.”
 
The iPhone used in this experiment is equipped with an A14 chip except that the iPhone 11 Pro Max is equipped with A13, and the RAM is 6GB for the iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max and 4GB for the rest.
 
In the first Geekbench 5 CPU test, the score difference between the on-board chip and RAM is clear. Even the cheapest iPhone 12 mini of the year, both single-core and multi-core, far outperforms last year’s top-of-the-line iPhone 11 Pro Max.
 

Experiment for a total of 5 hours

Then we move on to the battery test, which is the pillar of this experiment. The battery capacity is 2,227mAh for the iPhone 12 mini, 2,815mAh for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, 3,687mAh for the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and 3,969mAh for the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
 

Play YouTube video for 1 hour

In the experiment, we first measured the battery level when the YouTube video was played for 1 hour. The iPhone12mini was 87%, the iPhone12 / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max was 92%, and the iPhone11 Pro Max was 90%.
 

 

Play a graphics-focused game for an hour

Then I played a graphics-intensive game for an hour and checked the battery level (total experiment time was 2 hours). Here, the battery level of the iPhone 12 mini is 69%, which is a big difference from other models.
 
Also, comparing only the battery capacity, the largest is the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but after 2 hours, the iPhone 12 Pro Max has the largest remaining capacity.
 

 

Use TikTok for 1 hour

Next, use TikTok for 1 hour and check the battery level. The battery level of the iPhone12 Pro Max is 73%, but the battery level of the iPhone12 mini is reduced to 57%.
 

 

30 minutes 4K video recording and 90 minutes gameplay

Finally, I shot a 4K video for 30 minutes, played the game for 90 minutes, and checked the final battery level after a total of 5 hours of experimentation.
 
After 5 hours of testing, there was a significant difference in the remaining amount. And the one with the best battery life was the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
