Batteries, am I right?
We may even learn something.
Now thats out the way, lets talk about the first metric were charting: endurance rating.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Lets look at our first graphs!
This simple graph is a fantastic overview of the battery life of the iPhone 12 range.
The Pro Max reigns victorious, while the mini sits at the bottom.
This is totally understandable, as those are literally the largest and smallest phones in the range.
How about we kick this up a notch?
The data the bars are reflecting remains the same, with the endurance rating measured in minutes.
The new addition is the line, which is the battery capacity of each phone.
This is shown on the right-hand axis of the graph and is measured in mAh.
Which surprises no one.
In other words, the overall battery life of the iPhone 12 is better than the Pro.
Now, theres only an 80 minute difference between them, which isnt much.
Thankfully, we have more data to help us do so.
Below youll find a graphs charting three things: talk time, web browsing, and video playback.
To explain further, the iPhone 12 mini has a talk time stat of 741 minutes.
This means the battery lasts for that amount of time while making voice calls.
This is completely off-kilter in comparison to the other devices.
And its unclear why.
Thats sheer speculation though.
Both the Pro and Pro Max score comparatively higher than the standard iPhone 12.
In fact, this is the only aspect of battery life that the Pro outperforms the regular 12.
Lets wrap this up this comparison of the battery life of the iPhone 12 range with a final graph.
Heres all the above data on a single graph:
The line represents the battery capacity.
you might see the scale for that (in mAh) on the Y-axis on the right-hand side.
The bars are all measured in minutes, which you might see on the left Y-axis.
What can we take away from all this?
There are some simple truths: the iPhone 12 mini has, comparatively, poor battery life.
On the other side of things, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is a battery behemoth.
If youre worried about running out of juice, its the handset for you.
Despite having the same battery capacity, the 12 outperforms the Pro overall.
This illustrates just how complex managing battery life across devices is.
Anyway, thats us for this session!
