Apple suggests iPhone 14 Plus has the best battery

In a new video where Cupertino honors well-known ice hockey players across the Atlantic, we can see an iPhone 14 Plus. His flash is used by the two athletes to try to find a broken tooth, which can actually happen with a few poorly placed shots on the ice. Thanks to theflash LEDof the smartphone, our duo fortunately ends up finding her, in the middle of the blizzard and after an entire night spent looking for her. Enough to crown the autonomy of the mobile with success.

It must be said that with its large format, the device has something to please nomads. Its endurance is almost as good as that of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the best smartphone offered by Apple to date. In any case, that's what we thought, moreover it's also what is indicated by the manufacturer with its official comparison. But the Californian brand has apparently just changed its tune…

Positions that reverse

Indeed, according to the description of our video of the day, the best battery available on iPhone would indeed be that of the iPhone 14 Plus: it is Apple which says it, black and white. What's more, if we now look at the detailed figures in its technical sheet, we see that the beast can reach theone hundred hours of audio playback endurance, compared to five fewer for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The latter, however, remains a priority for video playback (twenty-nine hours versus twenty-six for the iPhone 14 Plus) and streaming (twenty-five hours versus twenty for the iPhone 14 Plus).

With this, we can also look at the results obtained by our colleagues from01net.comwith their laboratory 01Lab. Here, with a versatile battery life test taking into account many factors, the iPhone 14 Plus lasts twenty-seven hours and thirty-five minutes compared to… twenty-seven hours and twenty-one minutes for the iPhone 14 Pro Max! The loop is closed:Apple seems to be right, Ultimately. Unless this is just a well-established marketing strategy to boost sales of the iPhone 14 Plus, which are much lower than those of other models in the same family according to rumor? Mystery.

The reasons for success

Considering that the iPhone 14 Plus is the most effective in the long term, how could we explain it? Withoutadaptive refresh rate, the iPhone 14 Plus cannot necessarily reduce its display frequency when reading “calm” content such as a press article or an email. But this is compensated by an inability to reach the very consuming 120 Hz, as the iPhone 14 Pro Max can do.

No, the real explanation actually seems to lie more on the side of the chip, knowing that iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus are both entitled to a 4,323 mAh battery and a large screen, which is also quite demanding, 6.7 inches. Indeed, the A16 Bionic processor of the iPhone 14 Pro probably heats up more than the A15 Bionic motherboardiPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, which can also be found under the hoodiPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. With, as a result, a cooling system used at a higher level, and therefore using more electricity.
