The launch of the iPhone 13 it still gives something to talk about. In the last hours battery capacity confirmed for all four new models of Apple smartphones, and the data is really interesting. On the one hand, because they imply an interesting leap compared to the iPhone 12, and on the other, because they throw up surprises even within the newly presented line of mobiles.
As explained Macrumors, the confirmation of the capacity of the batteries of the new terminals comes thanks to the publication of videos in which they are completely disassembled to analyze their components.
The first thing to note is that, indeed, they boast a greater battery capacity than their predecessors. This is something that had been talked about for quite some time before the launch of the new cell phones on the block. The other novelty is that the iPhone 13 Pro has a battery with less capacity than the common iPhone 13. It is a very peculiar fact, without a doubt.
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12, battery comparison
iPhone 13 | 3,227 mAh | iPhone 12 | 2,815 mAh |
iPhone 13 mini | 2,406 mAh | iPhone 12 mini | 2,227 mAh |
iPhone 13 Pro | 3,095 mAh | iPhone 12 Pro | 2,815 mAh |
iPhone 13 Pro Max | 4,352 mAh | iPhone 12 Pro Max | 3,687 mAh |
As we mentioned before, the jump in the capacity of the batteries of the new iPhones is very interesting. But the case of the iPhone 13 Pro is also new and its battery is smaller than that of the standard model. It is clear that here Apple relies on the use of other technologies to optimize the duration of the chargeregardless of the size of the accumulator.
Joe Rossignol of Macrumors, indicates that the variable refresh rate of the ProMotion display included in the Pro and Pro Max models would be key to improving energy management. Let us remember that the panel update frequency is automatically adapted to the situation of use of the smartphone; this means that it can go down from 120 Hz to just 10 Hz, if necessary.
