The iPhone 16 pro max dryly beaten in this autonomy test

The first figures for online sales of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Maxare not particularly reassuring for Apple. The two models do not attract as much as expected, unlike the two less expensive versions. Remember that the four iPhones all feature this year's major innovation: the new camera control button. What makes the acquisition of a Pro or Pro Max model less essential? Maybe. However,the considerable autonomy of the iPhone 16 Pro Maxalso remains a strong argument.And this, even if the latter is heavily beaten by another high-end smartphone in the field.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max clearly defeated by the S24 in this autonomy test

The YouTuber nicknamed “Mrwhosetheboss” (Arun Maini's real name) with nearly 20 million subscribers has just put himself to the testthe autonomy of the four iPhone 16s compared to the iPhone 15, 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. His test was very simple: he started a timer, then performed exactly the same tasks on each of the smartphones with a 100% charged battery to see which one would discharge last.

Playing videos on TikTok, playing video games, taking photos, writing: all the most common actions are there on the seven smartphones. Unsurprisingly, the standard version of the iPhone 15 leaves the race first, after 7h44 of active use. The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro follow almost at the same time after 8:19 a.m.The iPhone 16 Plus manages to last 9 hours, much more than the Pro, which is surprising.

So only the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra remain.After 11:22 a.m., the Apple smartphone finally turns off, while the S24 still lasts an hour and nine minutes longerthan its great rival. Even if theiPhone 16 Pro Max must admit defeat, its autonomy remains impressive. This is indeed Apple's best smartphone in this area thanks to its larger battery, as promised by the Apple brand. The battery life of the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max and iPhone 16 should decrease much more quickly when usingApple Intelligence, planned for iOS 18.1 deployment.
