Teardown Video Confirms iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Use Same 2,815mAh Battery

With the iPhone 12 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/) launching on Friday and in just a few hours to Australia and New Zealand, hands-on videos, teardowns, reviews, and other iPhone-related content has been coming out. A new teardown video delves into both the ‌iPhone 12‌ and the 12 Pro, confirming battery life for both models and giving us a closer look at their internals.

Both the &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj; and the iPhone 12 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12-pro/) have close to identical L-shaped logic boards inside, with the &zwnj;iPhone 12 Pro&zwnj; featuring an extra LiDAR connector for the LiDAR Scanner. The two phones also share a battery, and this teardown puts to rest rumors about the &zwnj;iPhone 12 Pro&zwnj;'s battery capacity.





The &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj; and &zwnj;iPhone 12 Pro&zwnj; have the same 2,815mAh battery inside, which explains why they offer identical battery life. There was some confusion over the battery capacity because leaked specifications (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/13/possible-iphone-12-battery-certs-appear/) in July had suggested the two models had 2,775mAh battery, but Brazilian specifications mentioned a 2,815mAh battery  (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/16/iphone-12-12-mini-battery-capacity/)for the &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj;, so there was a possibility that the Pro model had the 2,775mAh battery we had been expecting, but that's not the case.





We now know the official capacities for each new iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) in the lineup:


<ul>


    <li><strong>iPhone 12 mini</strong> - 2,227mAh</li>


    <li><strong>iPhone 12</strong> - 2,815mAh</li>


    <li><strong>iPhone 12 Pro</strong> - 2,815mAh</li>


    <li><strong>iPhone 12 Pro Max</strong> - 3,687mAh</li>


</ul>


All of these batteries are smaller than the batteries that were used in the iPhone 11 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-11/) lineup, with Apple possibly having to cut down on battery size in order to make room for 5G components and new camera technology in the Pro models.





The side-by-side teardown of the &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj; and 12 Pro offers a good look at the similarities and differences between the two models. Both have smaller Taptic Engines and many other identical internal components. Though not shown in this video, a teardown from yesterday confirmed that Apple's &zwnj;iPhone 12&zwnj; lineup is using Qualcomm's X55 modem (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/10/21/iphone-12-qualcomm-x55-modem/).<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: iPhone 12 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/), iPhone 12 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPhone 12 (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-12), iPhone 12 Pro (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-12-Pro)</div>
