"That's a bit less than 10% decrease in capacity from the iPhone 11,
yet Apple cites absolutely the same [highly exaggerated] battery life
for the iPhone 12"
o 2815mAh battery
o Qualcomm X55 5G modem
o MagSafe charging coil
o Thinner 6.1" OLED display panel
o Smaller Taptic Engine vibration motor

If someone didn't bring truth to this newsgroup, MARKETING would hold sway.

"Smaller batteries may have been included because Apple may have needed
extra space for the 5G components in this year's iPhones, but there have
already been some concerning early tests about faster than normal
battery drain when using 5G networks."
o Early iPhone 12 Teardown Features Smaller Taptic Engine
<https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/21/early-iphone-12-teardown/>
"There's a 2,815mAh battery in the iPhone 12, which was seen in
Brazilian regulatory filings last week. Comparatively, the iPhone 11
has a higher capacity 3,110mAh battery.
Apple lists similar battery lengths for both iPhone models, though

Welcome to drastic throttling of the iPhone 12 series in about a year!
"*All of these batteries are _smaller* than the batteries*
*that were used in the iPhone 11 lineup*"
<https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/22/iphone-12-12-pro-teardown-video-battery/>
Never forget Apple's battery life claims have always been bullshit.
o Nor that Apple publicly admitted throttling is to _shorten_ device life!
Here are the battery capacities:
o iPhone 12 mini 2,227mAh
o iPhone 12 2,815mAh
o iPhone 12 Pro 2,815mAh
o iPhone 12 Pro Max 3,687mAh

"An iPhone 12 battery test shows that the new models take a huge hit
to their battery-life when using 5G data."
o iPhone 12 battery test shows 2-hour hit when using 5G
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/21/iphone-12-battery-test/>
"The standard model iPhone 12 lost almost exactly two hours of
battery-life when using 5G compared to 4G, and things were
even worse with the iPhone 12 Pro"
"The iPhone 12 managed 10h 23m on 4G, but that fell to
8h 25m on 5G, a drop of 1h 58m.
The iPhone 12 Pro dropped even further, from 11h 24m to 9h 6m
a fall of 2h 18m.
The site also compared to Android 5G smartphones,
and the comparisons mostly weren't good."
See also:
o First teardown video shows how Apple made the iPhone 12 thinner and lighter
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/21/iphone-12-teardown-video/>
"The comparison to the iPhone 11 is interesting because
Apple touts that the iPhone 12 is 11% thinner, 15% smaller,
and 16% lighter.
Getting a peek inside the iPhone 12 offers a clearer look
at how Apple was able to make the size reductions while
retaining the same 6.1-inch screen."

Nobody has ever verified the exagerated claims of Apple's battery life.

"Overall, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro battery life is a bummer
over 5G, at least when surfing the web. So you may want to manually
switch to 4G in some cases to save extra juice."

Apple admitted secretly throttling to intentionally shorten device life!

Verbatim because apologists deny whatever they _hate_ about Apple

(as it turns out, apologists happen to hate a _lot_ of facts about Apple).
"Apple has included a Smart Data Mode feature that
automatically switches from 5G to 4G in order to save battery,
*but you might just want to turn 5G off*"
o iPhone 12 dies two hours faster when connected to a 5G network
<https://bgr.com/2020/10/21/iphone-12-5g-battery-life-test/>
"With AT&T's 5G network, the iPhone 12 lasted 8 hours & 25 minutes"
"The iPhone 12 Pro [lasted] with a battery life of 9 hours & 6 minutes"
"even with a higher refresh rate (which consumes power that much more
quickly), three out of the four Android phones outlasted the iPhone 12,
while two topped the iPhone 12 Pro. With the standard 60Hz refresh rate,
*all four Android phones beat the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro*"

reportedly skipped out on offering a faster 120Hz display on this year's
models, a feature that's become increasingly standard for nearly all
major Android flagships, out of a concern for battery life."

Update on Apple MARKETING spin on the atrocious iPhone 12 battery life:
VP of iPhone MARKETING Kaiann Drance explains how Apple
tries to make the iPhone 12 atrocious battery life "even better".
She comes up with all sorts of wild MARKETING-induced ideas, except...
o the idea of *NOT cheaping out on the battery* in the first place!
Apple podcast:
o Apple VP explains new iPhone 12 features in-depth
<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-vp-explains-new-iphone-12-features-in-depth/id1120941458>
"We're able to make a bunch of software optimizations throughout the
entire system to make battery life even better, and on top of that we
added a new feature called "Smart Data mode" that will allow you to
manage your 5G usage and battery life a bit better, so you can use
5G speeds when it really matters, and then for places where maybe it
doesn't matter as much it will revert to 4G LTE speeds to save your
battery life. And then the last part of it that I think is really
important is the work we've done with our carrier partners,
working with them on their network settings, on their deployment plan,
so they're also optimizing their settings together with iPhone to
optimize for battery life."
Those with normal adult cognitive skills note what she did NOT mention.
