Apple is known for using smaller battery capacities in its iPhones than
what we see in Android smartphones. But it can usually make up the
difference with tight hardware/software integration. In the latest battery
test, PhoneBuff found out how much power the iPhone 14 Pro Max had left
when Google’s Pixel 7 Pro died.

In the end, the iPhone 14 Pro Max had an impressive 21% battery remaining
when the Pixel 7 Pro died. Based on his testing, PhoneBuff says that
translates to 3.5 extra hours of messaging.

Usage time for the iPhone 14 Pro Max was 11 hours 44 minutes active with 16
hours standby for a total of 27 hours and 44 minutes.

Usage time for the Pixel 7 Pro was 9 hours and 41 minutes with 16 hours of
standby for a total of 25 hours and 41 minutes.

Hi badgolferman,

I'm rational, reasonable, logical, and well educated, where the uneducated
iKooks won't be responding to your note above as I rationally do below.

You're not expecting what I'm going to bring up, but the _huge_ problem, as
I see it, with the laughably puny batteries in iPhones is that those
doomed-to-fail designed-to-fail iPhones will die sooner because of it.

By dying sooner, I mean you'll need to REPLACE them sooner.
(I'm not discussing the fact that on day one, they may last longer).

I'm discussing that on day 600, they're ready for the trash bin.
*Remember - even Apple says their batteries degrade in use.*

Apple _designed_ the iPhone with those laughably puny batteries for a
reason, and no, you aren't the reason (their profits are the reason).

You have to remember that Apple designs iPhones punier batteries, in
general, than similar priced Androids because of smart MARKETING moves.

Why?

If you listen to the iKooks, they'll regurgitate Apple's claim of
"efficiency", and that works fine for the short term.

The very short term indeed.

But what about the long term.
Those laughably puny batteries in iPhones - how do they hold up?

Remember, Apple's regurgitated claim of battery efficiency doesn't hold
water when you keep in mind it was Apple themselves tho said batteries
degrade, and, get this... the smaller the batter - the sooner that
degradation reaches the threshold where it's toast.

But luckily for iPhone users, Apple has a ready-made solution.
But a new iPhone every couple of years.

Bingo.
Problem solved.

You'll never hear me say Apple marketing isn't brilliant.

Apple puts laughably puny batteries in iPhones so that they degrade faster
than they would have had they put a respectably modern sized battery in.

Yes, this is well known. Early this year - or last year, whatever -
consumer reports did these tests also. iPhones consistently had the best
battery life. Android phones need larger batteries because Android and
Qualcomm.

There was much discussion about it here. The kiddie trolls dismissed it,
of course. 🙄

It's normal chemistry that is taught in any lecture on redox potentials.

Everyone knows capacity matters tremendously in that a battery never gains
capacity over time - it always loses capacity as it chemically ages.

When the lower threshold is reached, that's it. Poof.
The phone will shut down.

Haven't you ever read Apple's own statement on its own batteries aging?

The lower the battery capacity, the sooner it ages below minimum threshold.
You think Apple doesn't know that when they design those small batteries?

Apple takes another shot at trying to explain why old batteries slow down iPhones
https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gear/a14513023/apple-discount-battery-controversy/

Apple puts the smallest batteries in the iPhone that they can get away with
knowing full well the smaller the battery capacity, the sooner it will age
below the threshold for minimum performance of that smartphone.

Arlen is trolling, as usual™. All batteries start degrading the moment
they leave the factory. Due to fluctuations in the mass production
manufacturing process and differences in usage including environmental
factors and usage patterns, some batteries age faster than others.
Apple's batteries are designed to retain up to 80% of their original
capacity at 500 charge cycles. Most people end up using their devices
for 3-5 years before they feel the need to replace their batteries, and
some continue using their devices for even longer before replacing the
battery.

For instance, I've got an iPhone 4 that was purchased in 2010. A couple
years later, I got a newer model iPhone and gave the iPhone 4 to a
relative to use, and they continued using it without replacing the
battery for a few years after that. When they upgraded to a newer model
phone, they gave the iPhone 4 back to me. That was in *2019*, which
means the battery was *nine* years old. When I got it back from them, I
replaced its battery with a battery from iFixIt and put in my car where
it would be used as a dash cam to record my driving trips. And I would
still be using it today if I didn't have a spare iPhone SE (1st
generation) that I decided to use for that purpose instead. That iPhone
4 is still good as new today sitting in a box as a spare in case I need
it for something else.

They don't make them like they used to...

I agree about the iPhone 4-6 being good on batteries, but everything
I've had since then (excepting SE) have had their battery life degrade
10-12% within 18 months. Maybe it's just that the battery life
indicator came along at some time and we could now keep track of it or
the apps have become more power hungry, but the 7, 8, 12 I've had don't
hold up like the older phones.

Except that the test being referenced was the iPhone 14 Pro Max versus
the Pixel 7 Pro. There's no Qualcomm components in the Pixel 7 Pro,
while the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max has a Qualcomm modem. So you can't
logically blame Qualcomm.

A better comparison is the iPhone 14 Pro Max versus the Samsung Galaxy
S22 Ultra since both use the Qualcomm modem. The iPhone 14 Pro Max does
much better, though part of this is because of the smaller,
lower-resolution display. See
<https://www.tomsguide.com/face-off/iphone-14-pro-max-vs-samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra>.

the modem isn't the issue. it's the *processor*.

put simply: apple silicon is more power-efficient. also, ios is less
wasteful because it's native code, versus android, which uses a virtual
machine, with significant overhead.

again, the modem is insignificant.

the difference in display resolution is insignificant.

what *does* have an effect is the variable refresh display on the 14
pro max, which is substantially more power-efficient than the samsung
display, and that's in addition to the other advantages of ios devices.

Hi badgolferman,

My conversations with you are unlike those with the child-like iKooks.
We cover details and innuendo and deep understanding of Apple history.

Always keep in mind my facts are credible and that the iKooks don't seem to
have ever read a newspaper in their entire lives, based on how ignorant
they are of topics which are extremely well known in the common references.

*Apple has been cheaping out on batteries for _years_ badgolferman*

The iKooks never read a newspaper in their life & they forget topics we've
covered in great detail on this very newsgroups - they're that ignorant.

We had entire threads with multiple cites showing Apple cheaped on out
batteries, both the boards and the components and the battery sizes.

The iKooks are oblivious to all facts pertaining to Apple, but since you're
an adult, I can dig up those references for you if you want more proof.

Remember badgolferman, what sets me most apart from the ignorant iKooks is
that I'm well educated and they have absolutely zero education
(not to mention the iKooks have an IQ of about 40 to 60 in general)...

That means I can comprehend facts that iKooks can't possibly understand.

Apple has been cheaping out on batteries for _years_ badgolferman.

Just as Apple's strategy is to slowly decontent the iPhone so that the poor
customer is forced to figure out a way to get the functionality back, Apple
has been making the phone battery less and less equivalent to Androids.

There isn't a _single_ iPhone battery anywhere near the Android phones.

For example, my _free_ A32-5G, which is a bottom-of-the-barrel Samsung, has
a huge battery compared to the best of the best of the best of iPhones.

Nobody who knows anything about Apple wouldn't say Apple cheaped out on the
battery technology, badgolferman... from the components to the capacity.

We covered the fact Apple cheaped out on battery technology badgolferman.

These threads contain referenced _cites_ proving Apple cheaped out on them.

Notice the iKooks are not only ignorant of everything Apple does, to the
point that I have to wonder if they've ever read a newspaper in their lives
but more to the point, we _covered_ in detail iOS cheaped out on batteries.

The iKooks are so ignorant, they can't even remember what we covered here!

Are you aware that a lower capacity batter is stressed more, all things
being equal, than a battery which is appreciably larger in capacity?

Are you aware that the lower the battery capacity, the sooner it ages below
minimum threshold?

Other than lower weight and higher profits, are you aware of any advantage
of a lower capacity battery?

This is true that Apple isn't the only large company whose strategy is to
decontent the product and then sell back what they removed to consumers.

I'd tend to agree with you that the airlines are even worse than is Apple
even as Apple markeing always has their ready-made solution for you to get
the content back - just as the airlines do - e.g., pay for your lunch &
baggage & seat choice & even pay for the ability to get on the plane first.

Hence I agree that Apple isn't the only one decontenting to sell it back.
What other industries habitually decontent just so they can sell it back?

All you've provided is speculation and school-boy science.

The fact that Apple batteries don't discharge as quickly means they're used
and recharged less. It's equally easy to speculate that fewer charge cycles
means less chemical degradation and batteries last longer.

So I ask again, do you have evidence to support your assertion that Apple
batteries don't last as long as Samsung/Google/etc?

The actual capacity of the battery is irrelevant.

What matters is how long the battery actually allows the phone to run.

And in that area, iPhones are more than competitive.

<https://www.tomsguide.com/us/smartphones-best-battery-life,review-2857.html>

4 out of the top 15 smartphones tested were iPhones.

Arlen knows this, so he insists that it's the actual size of the battery
that matters.

This is much like he used to love to talk about how "inferior" iPhone
cameras were, but never acknowledged that his chosen source was testing
iPhones long after they had come out and so they looked bad against
significantly newer cameras.

Redox potentials.

Full quote:
"Maximum battery capacity measures the device battery capacity relative
to when it was new. A battery will have lower capacity as the battery
chemically ages which may result in fewer hours of usage between
charges. Depending upon the length of time between when the iPhone was
made and when it is activated, your battery capacity may show as
slightly less than 100%."

Nope. It is the rate of chemical ageing that matters most.

Think about what you just said regarding the percentage & run the math.

If a battery is 6AH & then it loses 20% to aging, what's the AH capacity?
If a battery is 4AH & then it loses 20% to aging, what's the AH capacity?

Even Apple doesn't claim to own different chemistry than science allows.

A smaller capacity battery ages below threshold sooner than a larger one.

That's just chemistry at work.

If your point is that there is some kind of "advantage" to Apple putting in
smaller batteries than everyone else does, then just name what that is.

Knowing that the iPhone isn't any smaller than similar Androids which have
far larger battery capacity, what are you claiming is the benefit of Apple
putting in a far smaller battery (other than profits for Apple itself)?

What's the benefit of a smaller battery (other than to Apple)?

apple silicon and ios itself is more power-efficient than android, thus
it doesn't need as large of a battery for the same runtime (the only
thing that matters, not mah, wh or any other 'spec').

consider two vehicles, one which gets double the fuel economy of the
other. it would need a fuel tank half the capacity for the same range.

A functional battery is one which maintains the most of the from-new
capacity.

A 6AH battery that degrades 40% in two years is worse than a 4AH one
that only degrades 20% regardless what the absolute remaining capacity is.

The advantage of Apple is that it is kinder on batteries. As the OP
quite clearly shows - along with other comparable studies - iphones last
longer with smaller batteries than androids with larger ones.

Size is overly reductive. Longevity is key which you are clearly not
able to evidence that iphones are worse than androids at.

There's a couple of advantages of the iPhone versus Android when it
comes to batteries.

First, Apple continues production of older models for several years
after the release so even if you're buying an older model, to save
money, you're likely to get a recent production model where the battery
has not been sitting around for a year or two.

Until recently, Apple's philosophy has been to use older models as their
mid-range models and not produce separate flagship, mid-range devices
(but to produce the SE as an entry-level device). With the iPhone 14,
this philosophy has changed, with the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models being
mid-range models and the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max being flagship models.

With Android phones, almost none are manufactured for more than two
years after initial release.

My iPhones:
11 (First available: 20 September 2019)
Production date: 19 Jun 2022
Purchase date: 11 October 2022
Battery health: 100%

Xr (First available: 26 October 2018)
Production date: 19 July 2021
Purchase date: 7 August 2021
Battery health: 96%

6s Plus (First available: 9 September 2015)
Production date: 6 Nov 2018
Purchase date: 19 Jan 2019
Battery health: 96%

A little disappointing that the 16 month old Xr has the same 4% loss as
the four year old 6s Plus, but I used the Xr as my primary phone whereas
the 6s Plus was not used much, it was bought for me by my employer for
political reasons. I should check my wife's SE2020 which she uses
constantly for many hours per day.

Second, new production batteries are available for many years after the
iPhone was produced. With Android, a phone that's several years old
probably has only replacement batteries that are also several years old.

For all three of my iPhones, it's still a long way until the 80% level
where battery replacement is recommended. I only got the 11 so I'd have
two phones that are eSIM capable so when we travel to countries where
physical SIM cards with a phone number are complicated to buy (like in
China) we have the option of purchasing a data-only eSIM.

I added this to the document <https://tinyurl.com/iOS-Android-Features>
as 41i on page 12.

thereby contradicting your bogus claim that physical sims are required

Exactly. On most Android devices you don't have any idea as to the
battery health other than empirical testing (unless the phone
manufacturer has added that capability, as Samsung has done).

On the iPhone, the phone is able to predict the battery health so you
have a good idea as to when it's necessary to replace the battery (or
upgrade the phone).

Apple's hardware and software designs use energy more efficiently,
allowing competitive run times on smaller batteries. You *desperately*
want to spin that as a "negative", and you're driven by your blind
hatred to lie to do it. You're a pathetic, lonely, old, man-child, Arlen.

Jolly Roger can be forgiven for his hatred of facts... his entire life
people have been calling him stupid - but Apple doesn't call him stupid.

Apple loves Jolly Roger.
And Jolly Roger loves Apple.

While the iKooks have only seven responses to facts (one of which is

The iKooks whine about Face ID whenever there's any Apple fact they hate.

WTF?
You cherry picked ridiculous assumptions that defy battery chemistry.

Your assumptions aren't based on battery chemistry.
They're based solely on wishful thinking.

You're just playing with the numbers, tweaking them arbitrarily to your
advantage, instead of understanding battery chemistry.

A smaller capacity battery will ALWAYS degrade sooner than a larger one.
That's why Apple puts the smallest batteries they can into the iPhone.

They die sooner.
For two reasons.

It's science.

Two factors will ALWAYS cause a smaller battery to degrade to the minimum
threshold sooner than a larger battery (all other factors being equal).

The first is that two batteries of the same chemistry will degrade at the
same rate given they're the same chemistry, which means, all other things
being equal, the smaller batter will fall to minimum threshold sooner.

But more important than that even degradation is that a smaller battery is
likely stressed more than a larger battery (all things being equal save for
the battery) and hence the smaller capacity battery degrades even faster.

Those are sensible assumptions that affect all batteries of the same type.
It's science.

That's why Apple uses the smallest batteries they can get away with.

You've got to be kidding that you accept the cherry picked arbitrary
figures quoted by the person you are responding to.

Two factors will ALWAYS degrade a smaller battery to minimum thresholds
sooner than a larger battery - all other things being equal.

The first is that both batteries are assumed to be of the same chemistry so
they both naturally age at the same rate - which means the smaller battery
will always degrade below threshold sooner than the larger capacity one.

The second is that it's likely the larger battery is stressed less than
that of the smaller battery such that the degradation of the smaller
battery is accelerated, and again, it falls below threshold sooner.

Apple knows this.
It's called science.

The statements above are irrefutable.
Read up on battery chemistry before you respond.

Every statement from you is an absurd unsubstantiated ridiculous fabrication.

A smaller battery will ALWAYS degrade sooner than a larger one assuming
all other factors are equal (which they are for equivalent devices).

Other than to Apple's profit, there is no advantage to a smaller battery.
If there was, you'd be able to name it.

A smaller battery will ALWAYS degrade below threshold sooner than a larger
batter, for the two reasons already provided - and which are irrefutable.

1. Chemical aging (which is the same percentage for both)
2. Charge/discharge cycle stress (which stresses the smaller battery more)

That's science.

Which is where you're going wrong. The other factors aren't equal. The
battery usage between Apple and Android is different - as no-one can
dispute - therefore the longterm lifespan is also likely to be different.

His narrative about a larger battery having more absolute capacity left
when it degrades by the same percentage as an iPhone battery, and this
somehow being an enormous advantage, is especially naïve.

iPhone 14 Pro Max
4323 mAH battery (100%)
Independent battery test: 819 minutes
3459mAH (20% degraded)
Estimated operating time: 655 minutes

Galaxy S22 Ultra
5000 mAH battery (100%)
Independent battery test: 618 minutes
4000mAH (20% degraded)
Estimated operating time: 494 minutes

iPhone advantage percentage: 32.5%. The iPhone retains the same
percentage advantage in operating time, despite the larger battery in
the Android device.

Of course Samsung and Apple are about six months apart in terms of the
introduction of flagship devices. The S23 will use the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be fabbed on the same TSMC 4nm process as the
A16 bionic and will likely have similar power efficiency and
performance. And remember, the iPhone has a disadvantage because the
modem is not integrated into the Bionic SOC as it is on the Snapdragon.
Apple will gain a further advantage when they have their own 5G modem to
integrate.

Now that the science is finally accepted by you, let's turn to your
ridiculous argument Apple has a super secret very special long term battery
life energy preservation algorithm that you made up out of thin air and
that you can't find cites for despite numerous entreaties to back it up.

Please do not respond without noting that you /understand/ that concept
and without citing the source for your made up ridiculous claims that Apple
has found a "fountain of youth" for chemical aging of smartphone batteries.

Speaking of naivety, when, if ever, will you realize I wasn't discussing
/daily/ battery life. I'm discussing battery long term chemical aging.

Long term, a larger battery will /always/ outperform the smaller one,
simply because of the two scientific factors you are unable to grasp.

Please do not respond without noting that you /understand/ not only the
concept of long term battery chemical aging, but also that you provide a
source for your made up claim that Apple has found a mysteriously secret
special "fountain of youth" for chemical aging of smartphone batteries.

Battery deterioration isn't just a pure aging thing. The more a battery
is used and recharged, the quicker it will degrade. iOS / iPadOS and
Apple Silicon chips are more efficient, and so the devices don't need
as big a battery and require charging less often, both of which
increases their overall longevity.

BUT, the difference in a real world situation is probably not really
enough to bother about.

Your claim iPhones don't need frequent daily charging in use is ridiculous.

If the amazing secret new energy extraction chemistry that only Apple knows
about actually does what you are saying, then why charge an iPhone nightly?

If you can go weeks in use without charging, then prove it with cites.
Otherwise stop making ridiculous claims that you are simply making up.

You went from one day to weeks really quickly there, Sparky. ; )

Most people charge their iPhones overnight while they sleep and go all

Yes you did. You said that a smaller battery will age slower over time than

Your argument is that the much smaller iPhone batteries don't degrade as

Your ridiculous claim is the much smaller iPhone batteries don't
degrade below minimum threshold as fast over the years as do the much
larger Android batteries, is it not?

The only way your absurd claims could happen is if the battery chemistry on
the iPhone is some super secret unknown to man special type of physics.

You provided cites that don't back up your claim, Arlen. You seem to
think people are as gullible as you are (a common mistake stupid people
