iPhone 14 Pro Max Lasts Two Hours Longer Than iPhone 13 Pro Max in Battery Test

The new iPhone 14 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-14-pro/) Max lasts two hours longer than last year's iPhone 13 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-13-pro/) Max, according to a battery test conducted by Tom's Guide meant to simulate real-life usage.

In its review (https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/iphone-14-pro-max) of the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max, Tom's Guide said that the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max lasted an average 14 of hours and 42 minutes on a single full charge. In a similar test, the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ Max lasted 12 hours and 16 minutes. On Tom's Guide's (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/smartphones-best-battery-life,review-2857.html) ranking of battery life in smartphones, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max now ranks in 2nd place after the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro, which clocked in at around 15 hours and 30 minutes.



In its testing, Tom's Guide found that the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max only drained 30% in 5 hours while downloading apps, listening to music, and taking pictures and videos.

Anecdotally, the iPhone 14 Pro Max fared quite well in terms of endurance. After charging close to 90% and then using the phone from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. for downloading apps, playing music and shooting photos and videos, the phone's battery only dropped to 60%.
When it comes to charging, Tom's Guide'S test results fall short of Apple's claim that the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max can charge up to 50% in less than 30 minutes. Tests conducted by the publication showed it only charged to 42% from 0% in half an hour.

Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 Pro Max sticks with 20W charging, so there are faster charging phones out there. Charging a drained iPhone 14 Pro Max, we got to only 42% in 30 minutes; Apple claims you can hit 50%, so we'll be retesting and updating this review. By comparison, the Galaxy S22 Ultra got to 58% in 30 minutes with its 25W charger, and the OnePlus 10 Pro reached 93% and got to 55% in 15 minutes, benefitting from 65W charging speeds.
Compared to the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ Max, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max does actually have a slightly smaller battery (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/11/iphone-14-battery-capacities-mah/), but benefits from the new A16 Bionic chip and a more efficient display. Unlike the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ features a more advanced OLED display with a variable refresh rate of as low as 1Hz, as opposed to as low as 10Hz for last year's iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/).



On top of the more efficient OLED panel, the display is now controlled by a new display engine embedded in the A16 Bionic chip that mitigates power consumption and features like ProMotion, Dynamic Island, and the always-on display.



Reviews of the iPhone 14 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-14/), &zwnj;iPhone 14 Pro&zwnj;, and &zwnj;iPhone 14 Pro&zwnj; Max were shared earlier today (https://www.macrumors.com/review/iphone-14-pro/), offering a more detailed look at Dynamic Island, the new 48MP Main camera, the always-on display, and more. The &zwnj;iPhone 14&zwnj;, &zwnj;iPhone 14 Pro&zwnj;, and &zwnj;iPhone 14 Pro&zwnj; Max will begin arriving to customers on Friday, September 16. <div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPhone 14 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-14-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPhone 14 Pro (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone-14-Pro)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iPhone (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99)</div>
