The enthusiast compared the autonomy of all smartphones of the iPhone 13 and 14 lines

Among the 8 devices, there is a complete outsider and a leader by a wide margin. Can you guess them?
A video comparison of the autonomy of all iPhone models of the 13th and 14th generations in conditions simulating an active daily load has been released on the TechTag YouTube channel.
All smartphones were charged up to 100%, set to identical brightness and volume levels, and also connected to the same same Wi-Fi networks. The level of maximum battery capacity for all devices is 100%: that is, they are either new or close to this. Also, all smartphones have been updated to the current iOS 16.5.1.
Next, the author began testing: watching YouTube videos for an hour, playing casual games and shooting video in 1080p or 4K, then using Safari for 30 minutes. After that, the circle was repeated.
After 2 full cycles (7 hours of continuous use), the iPhone 13 mini was ready to give up: it had 1% charge left. Of the 6.1-inch models, the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro did the worst (both had 14%), while the iPhone 14 Plus was the most confident: it had as much as 40% of the charge left. After that, the third circle went, which not a single iPhone survived. Here is the order in which they were discharged:
- iPhone 13 mini - 7 hours and 2 minutes;
- iPhone 13 Pro - 8 hours and 22 minutes;
- iPhone 14 Pro - 8 hours and 26 minutes;
- iPhone 14 - 8 hours and 36 minutes;
- iPhone 13 - 8 hours and 41 minutes;
- iPhone 13 Pro Max - 9 hours and 49 minutes;
- iPhone 14 Pro Max - 9 hours and 49 minutes;
- iPhone 14 Plus - 10 hours and 26 minutes.
The record holder is quite expected: the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has an impressive battery, but at the same time it has an older A15 Bionic processor, which is better optimized than the A16 Bionic in the Pro versions. We saw something like this in first tests after the release of the iPhone 14, and it seems that with subsequent updates, the energy efficiency of this model has only improved.
