The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are available in stores and deliveries began last Friday. Thus, many journalists and amateurs dissect them from every angle. Proper boning has already taken place, to see what they contain inside.
On the Chinese YouTube channel Io Technology, we can see the two new iPhones being dismantled piece by piece.
This allows you to see that they integrate the same battery component, i.e. a 2,815 mAh unit.
Remember that the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are equipped with a 3,110 mAh and 3,046 mAh battery respectively. However, on paper,as seen there, the iPhone 12 is supposed to last longer than the iPhone 11, while it would be the opposite for the iPhone 12 Pro.
The theoretical drop in autonomy for the iPhone 12 Pro is understandable, given that the latter integrates a battery ofless capacity than its predecessor. For the iPhone 12, on the other hand, it would gain in autonomy over the old generation even though it has a smaller capacity battery. It could be that the transition from LCD on iPhone 11 to OLED screen technology on iPhone 12 isthe main explanation for this improvement. Indeed, OLED consumes less energy than LCD. This is particularly due to the fact that on an OLED screen, a black pixel is an off pixel.
For the iPhone 12 mini, which is still not available, we would also know the battery capacity, i.e.2 227 mAh. According to Apple, this model should be more efficient in terms of autonomy than the 2020 iPhone SE, but less good than the iPhone 11.
Finally, it remains to be seen what the iPhone 12 Pro Max is capable of, with a battery that could reach 3,687 mAh. With its large 6.7-inch screen, it will only be sold from November 6 for pre-order and from November 13 in stores, like the iPhone 12 mini.
