In the exciting world of smartphones, Apple is once again making waves with the launch of its latest models, including the highly anticipated iPhone 15. While Apple traditionally remains silent when it comes to the battery capacities of its devices, recent information from a Chinese regulator has now shed some light on the matter.
Battery capacity is a crucial factor when choosing a smartphone as it is directly linked to usage time and the overall performance of the device. With the launch of the iPhone 15 and its variants – iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max – many were excited about possible improvements in battery life, especially considering Apple's new A17 Pro chip.
iPhone 15 series with higher battery capacities
The Chinese regulatory authority’s database has now updated the battery capacities of these new models revealed. The iPhone 15 comes with a nominal capacity of 3,349 mAh and a power of 12.981 Wh, while the iPhone 15 Pro has a 3,274 mAh battery and a power of 12.70 Wh. Here is an overview of the battery capacities of the entire iPhone 15 lineup:
- iPhone 15: 3,349 mAh
- iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383 mAh
- iPhone 15 Pro: 3,274 mAh
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422 mAh
In comparison, the previous iPhone 14 models in 2022 had the following battery capacities:
- iPhone 14: 3,279 mAh
- iPhone 14 Plus: 4,325 mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro: 3,200 mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323 mAh
Surprisingly, Apple has not specified any improvements in battery life for the new iPhone 15 models compared to their direct predecessors. This is in contrast to the speculation that fueled hopes of increased efficiency thanks to the A17 Pro chip in the run-up to the Apple event. Apple states the approximate battery life of the iPhone 15 models as follows:
- iPhone 15: 20 hours
- iPhone 15 Plus: 26 hours
- iPhone 15 Pro: 23 hours
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 29 hours
These values correspond exactly to those of the iPhone 14 models. However, there remains the possibility that the efficiency improvements of the new models could lead to slightly better performance in practice.
Conclusion
Despite the unchanged battery life, the iPhone 15 still promises an impressive smartphone experience. With pre-orders already started and delivery scheduled for September 22nd, Apple fans will be excited to see how these new models will perform in the real world.
