What's the battery life of your iPhone?

The capacity of your iPhone partly depends on how long your battery lasts. The higher the capacity, the longer it takes for your battery to become empty. But the processor and screen type are also important. Newer iPhone models have a more efficient chip and screen. This means they last longer than other devices with an equally large or larger battery. Your use is also important: if you take photos all day and listen to music via Bluetooth, your battery will drain faster then when you just keep your iPhone in your pocket.

We measure the battery life of an iPhone based on the number of hours that you can play videos offline. If you compare this for all iPhone models, you compare the battery life the same way. The number of hours of video playback ranges from 11 to 29 hours. You can find an overview of the battery life of the different iPhone models below. In terms of video playback hours, the iPhone 14 Max Pro has the best iPhone battery.

After a while, the battery of your iPhone wears out. According to Apple, you have about 80% of the battery capacity left after you've fully charged it 500 times. This means that you'll start to notice your battery wearing out after about 2 years. The battery if your iPhone won't last as long on a full charge anymore. The lifespan of the battery doesn't indicate anything about the lifespan of your iPhone. Do you have an iPhone 12 with a battery capacity lower than 80%, for example? If you have the battery replaced, the device will last you some more time.
