I wonder if battery age skews this test towards the new phones.
- I’m pretty sure he uses all new phones.
Are all the iPhones at 100% battery health though?
My only explanation is that the ProMotion, hence the GPU, decided to consume more. It’s evident on how YouTube and the games depleted 30% of the battery while the iPhone 15 Plus was just chill.
And that seems like a problem on both Pro Max. Videos and Games on 120Hz means low battery life. I wonder how it would have lasted ProMotion was disabled and keep the brightened at the same nits.
I wonder how it would have lasted.
- I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You'd still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.
  
  Settings > accessibility > motion > limit frame rate
  
  I guess one could switch on low power mode to limit it to 60 Hz. Not very hopeful though because I've read of 13/14 Pro users getting crazy lag when on low power.
I'm glad I got the basic iPhone 15 to replace my old iPhone 8 Plus. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the pro line.
Apple definitely should have added a bigger battery to the Pro lineup.
They're not exactly going to make it worse are they? This just makes sense
- There have been a couple generations that had worse battery life than the one before. It wouldn’t be unheard of.
I still refuse to watch someone who can’t spell their own name correctly
