Got the iPhone 15 after my 11 was finally at its end point, usb C was what sold me. Same cable for beats, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. Hard to beat the simplicity of that. Not upgrading until the new iPhone 20 probably
Why cant they slap a 5000mAh battery? My cheap backup android phone has that 🤣
These posts are so dumb
I thought EU made a law that all future smartphones need to have replaceable batteries
Shit I don’t care about
Saved you a click
That camera bump is absurd.
For real. Legit one of the reasons why I don’t want to upgrade from my 11PM, it’s just ugly as fuck
One feature that would make most previous gen iPhone users to get the new one is a really impressive battery life.
Is that a satire?
I charge my phone every night and would barely care about battery improvement. My phone has never died when I needed it (currently 14 pro, but same for all previous gen I’ve owned)
Seriously. Camera improvements are really not that enticing anymore, it feels really incremental each year. Whereas, battery life is something everyone would notice easily.
„The battery is said to be designed for an early stage iPhone 16 Pro prototype with a 3,355 mAh capacity. The iPhone 15 Pro contains a 3,274 mAh battery, meaning that prototype iPhone 16 Pro models currently feature a battery that is just 2.5% larger.“
Groundbreaking.
“The best battery life in an iPhone - ever. And we think you’re gonna love it”
The metal shell is also said to be part of a better thermal system in the 16, and it’s actually the battery and the OLED that are the temperature limiting components in a smartphone rather than the SoC.
The last time we had a massive battery gain was with the iPhone 13 lineup. That’s 2 years ago.
The last one before that was the iPhone 11 and it was 4 years ago.
I was hoping Apple would stick to a pattern, but I guess given the slow pace of innovation in the smartphone category, these updates have to be spaced out.
I’d expect the 16 series will improve on battery life and thermals in general, but honestly anyone holding out hope for something radically different is almost certain to be disappointed for a very long time.
Smartphone batteries are more than sufficient for the vast majority people’s uses. The 15 Pro has a battery which is apparently nearly the worst out of the 14/15 series line up…and I’m still hovering around 40-50% after 5 hours of use, depending on exactly what I was doing that day. That’s around 8-10 hours of battery life total.
If I’m spending enough time on my phone for this to be a problem, even after 3 years of degradation, I probably have larger issues with my life than phone battery.
Meanwhile, even a battery that triples this battery life is going to still just get charged daily because it’s too short to charge on a regular, easily remembered schedule.
There’s a reason why Apple has, and will continue to, favor focusing their battery improvements on fueling new features first before allowing them to trickle down to actual battery life. We’re at a point where battery life isn’t realistically a concern for the average user, and is a more niche feature that most of the stuff they might want to spend that extra battery life on.
It’s going to take a small revolution in battery technology for us to see major leaps in how long these devices last.
Well put. If people want to improve their battery life, addressing software issues (keep it up to date, erase and set up as new, etc) and usage habits (connect to WiFi, dim screen, turn off background app refresh, etc) would make a much bigger daily impact.
You know you can do those with a better battery too, right?
It’s like saying, why do you need more than 4gb of ram, just close your programs and don’t open too many tabs.
Of course. I’m saying that instead of waiting for a new phone or battery technology to come along, people can vastly improve their average battery life right now by simply following some best practices. So many people don’t update their devices or have other software problems that cause them battery issues but all they consider is the physical battery itself.
Why do you want more than 60hz, you know human eyes can’t even notice it.
Why do you need more than 2gb of ram, you know iPhones does ram management?
Why do you need more than 64gb storage, don’t you use cloud?
Why do you need more battery life, don’t you charge your phone?
Consider my ground broken by 2.5%
Can’t innovate my ass
we hope you’ll like it
Who’s claiming it to be groundbreaking?
Not all information needs to be editorialized, and a lot of times it’s just information without an agenda attached to it.
Reddit to Macrumors to someone’s Twitter
So at what point did this sub turn into a bunch of clickbait bs about leaked components of a phone that’s not out yet? There aren’t better news items about Apple?
There were iPhone 16 leaks here less than 24 hours after the 15 was announced lol
It’s been like this forever. I’ve been saying for years to stop listening to rumors because they’re not true. But people don’t listen, believe the rumors, then get all pissy when apple doesn’t announce what the rumors said we’re going to be true.
Take apples last event with the macs. “WHY DIDNT WE GET THIS!?” “WHY DIDNT THIS HAPPEN!?” “THE LEAKER SAID WE WERE GETTING NEW IPADS!!” Etc etc etc.
Bruh, your account is merely three-months old.
You, uh…you know people can create new accounts frequently and with ease, right?
Your username isn’t your Social Security number.
clickbait bs about leaked components of a phone that’s not out yet
Why is this info clickbait BS? It’s literally just information from a person who’s accurately leaked stuff in the past. And even if not for you, it’s useful for some of us to have an idea of what’s coming out next year.
You’re new here. Welcome. This is the norm.
What part of this is clickbait?
Huh, it’s been like this for awhile because every apple related news article gets posted. but yes i hate it too
Gives us a battery that isn’t trash after only 1 short year.
It took my 11 Pro like three and a half years of moderately heavy use to get down to 85% rating. And that was with an amount of screen time I don’t care to admit to, tons of cellular data and streaming, lots of wireless charging and 18W charging otherwise, zero craps given about charging habits…
What are you doing with your iPhone?
89% 13 pro, bought a year ago
Is it though? My iPhone 13 Pro battery is still at 89%
My XR from 2018 is currently sitting at 83%.
The things people subject their phone to can be kind of crazy. Go to the beach and look at all the phones laying on a towel in the beating summer sun for hours at a time, recharged on a $6 fast charger from aliexpress. “Battery is so bad after 1 year! This phone sucks!”
Take that with a grain of salt
Same here, I had the iPhone 12 for a little over 3 years and the battery was at 89% before I upgraded.
Boush new iPhone battery redesigned to have…2.5% more 👍
Believe or not, it is said to be the best iPhone ever made.
The best camera and the fastest CPU; I caught a peak the keynote from next year.
The screen you ask? It has 5% more nits.
Give me a phone that can actually run the stuff you promised for mroe than 30 sec without reaching 1000 degrees. Saddly all these kids use the phone for instagram and tiktok, so apple has no intention to fix this massive problem
