iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE vs Nokia 105 battery test

[McKain]

I decided to test out the standby time for the above phones and was surprised by the results.

The Nokia 105 is a few months old and rarely used. The iPhone SE is refurbished from late last year and never used (backup phone) battery health 100%

Both phones were left in the same location using the same SIM card and never used. The battery was checked once a day (twice towards the end)

Battery size:
Nokia 105: 800mAh
iPhone SE: 1624mAh

Nokia 105: 25.5 days (connected to 2g network)

Test 1: iPhone SE: 9.5 days
4g and WiFi switched on
Bluetooth switched off

Test 2: iPhone SE: 12.5 days
2g only
WiFi and Bluetooth switched off

All apps were closed and screen on time was about 1 second per day!

Why such bad results for the iPhone?
Are modern CPU’s power hungry even in standby or are they always collecting data?

Is this meant to be some sort of joke?

You are comparing a Smartphone to a Featurephone.

The Nokia 105 does not even have a GPS chip let alone WiFi and Bluetooth.

The iPhone SE even when all that Hardware is “turned off” is still turned on, the OS and apps constantly do low power searches for GPS positions using WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS chip.
The SE also has an entire OS to power and a much larger display with a far more powerful chip.

The two phones are worlds apart

Did you trying playing PUBG on the Nokia 105?
How are the 4G speeds on that 105?
Lastly, how many apps do you have installed and how many email accounts are in your 105?

The Nokia is a much simpler device, the iPhone does have some components which do need energy even when on standby. For example, the iPhone SE has 2 GB RAM (I think), while the Nokia has what, 16 MB? RAM needs to be constantly powered, or all the data would get erased. Apple could implement a low power state, like hibernate on macOS, but I don't think many users would care to wait 30 seconds for an iPhone to wake up.
