Other iPhone 15 pro battery life [Merged]

This is a good take.
Winter months, less sunlight, more indoor use... I could end up with 70-80% battery at the end of the day.
Summer months, more sunlight, more outdoor use... I rarely end up with more than 50%.
The only difference is the average screen brightness.
Because it's more powerful. If Apple took the iphone 14 chip (A16, 5nm process) and just converted it to the 3nm process while keeping the clocks the same, yes, the instant benefit would be power savings.
Where has that ever been remotely implied. Apple sets the same measuring parameters for both.
I don't consider myself lucky. I consider my experience (as well as my wife, and kids') pretty typical.
There was another thread here where people were comparing battery health measurements of their 14 Pro/Max phones. While hardly scientific, most folks still had pretty high numbers. Personally, my launch day 14 Pro Max is at 97% maximum capacity.
Clearly, there are some folks, you guys included, that got batteries that suffered some form of defect (or having phones in overheating situations which impacts battery health). Also clearly, this was not the typical user experience. Remember, people are far, far more likely to post with complaints than with "hey guys, just wanted to say my stuff is still good". This can give the impression that the negative experience is overrepresented in the user base.
Hopefully whatever device people get next treats them well from a battery perspective; that was most people's experience with the 14-series, and everyone deserves that level of performance.
If it were the case they would have mentioned it , we both know apple like to suck themselves hard with every progress and improvementI think this type of story is why there is an assumption that there would be major energy savings. I thought we might see a 20% increase in battery.
iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Bionic Chip Could Be 35% More Energy Efficient, Enabling Longer Battery Life
The A17 Bionic chip for next year's high-end models of the iPhone 15 lineup could be 35% more efficient compared to current iPhone processors...www.macrumors.com

"Compared to its 5-nm node, which TSMC launched in 2020, the mega-fab claims that its N3 process offers 60% to 70% higher logic density and 15% higher performance while consuming 30% to 35% less power"
That is absolutely not true, the figures of n5>n3 are much different

We do not know of they indeed have larger batteries. That has been a RUMOR!
Maybe they‘re using the same batteries as the 14 series. Wait for some teardowns.
But A15 and A16 never used TSMC N5.
They used N5E (or N5P?) and N4!
So the „jump“ to N3B on A17 is much smaller than stated in that marketing note.

Additionally, the “leaker” who started that rumor about larger physical batteries released an update the same day saying to take the rumor with a grain of salt.
I’ve been trying to tell people this for weeks but everyone seems to ignore it.
I have usually 60% to 80% of battery left when I go to bed. No need for a power bank anymore. Something not OK with your 14PM battery I assume.
Perhaps Apple decided that the lightness of Titanium was a great selling feature.
With the N3 they reduce power consumption, so they decide to also reduce the battery capacity to reduce weight further (bringing its runtime similar to 14PM).
We'll find out when the teardowns happen.
This got posted today (https://istyle.ae/blog/how-much-bat...: Battery capacity,95 hours of audio playback.), hopefully it's true.
The 13 Pro Max had 4352 mAh.
You should read some actual analyses rather than something that regurgitates a press release.

This leaker below has very good accuracy. I know many people want to blame the titanium or whatever, but that makes zero sense. Do you guys seriously think Apple would make iPhone 15 Pro/Max thicker but reduce battery size? Look at the actual performance of the litho. You cannot have both performance and battery life increases at these nodes.
N5 1.0 is the one used in ...the iphone 12 right ?You should read some actual analyses rather than something that regurgitates a press release.
