Apple this year finally added the Always On Display feature to its smartphones. Only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max received it, and the implementation was made possible thanks to LTPO with a range of 1-120 Hz. But what about batteries? Figures on the battery capacity of a fresh quartet of “apple” devices have appeared on the Web, allegedly received from the Chinese regulator. They showed that Apple not only did not increase the capacity, but also reduced it in the case of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. At the same time, the iPhone 14 Pro, on the contrary, added a little, the same applies to the iPhone 14, which does not have Always On Display. Recall that only older models received a new 4-nm chip with good energy efficiency. It is this iPhone 14 Pro that will compensate for the “losses” and additional load due to AOD. The leader in capacity this year was the iPhone 14 Plus. See the numbers below.
 |
Battery capacity |
|
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 13 | iPhone 14 | |
| iPhone | 3227 mAh | 3279 mAh |
| iPhone Plus | – | 4325 mAh |
| iPhone Pro | 3095 mAh | 3200 mAh |
| iPhone Pro Max | 4352 mAh | 4323 mAh |
How smartphones will behave in practice is still difficult to say. Apple, which is usually not cunning in terms of autonomy, this year does not boast of an increase in autonomy (usually they talk about an additional hour or two over last year’s figures). Looking at them, you can see that the more compact version has become more enduring in terms of video playback, while the “giant”, on the contrary, has lost a little. This fits into the logic of the figures indicated above. The iPhone 13 Pro Max delivered an outstanding picture of battery life compared to the competition. If Apple manages to just keep it by adding AOD, it will add points to the “apple” people. How it will be in practice, we will find out after the release on September 16th.
