While the iPhone 13 is equipped with a 3240 mAh battery, the iPhone 14 has a 3279 mAh battery. But does this help the iPhone 14 last longer than its predecessor?
Both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 have batteries that can last all day without any issues. However, in specific numbers, Apple describes the iPhone 13 as providing 19 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 14 can watch up to 20 hours of video.
iPhone 13 and 14 are still being officially distributed in Vietnam.
In theory, given the slightly larger battery capacity and the more power-efficient processor, the iPhone 14 should have a longer battery life under the same conditions. This is as long as there are no updates that cause problems or if the phone is bug-free. But that's just theory, what about in practice?
Several battery tests were conducted to see which of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 phones had longer battery life, as well as how they compared to other phones. Some of these tests showed that the iPhone 14 lasted longer without shutting down.
According to a video posted, when the iPhone 13 ran out of battery, after multiple tests, the iPhone 14 still had 6% left before completely shutting down after 16 minutes. In reality, depending on the next task with that 6% battery, it could last at least another hour.
With normal use, both can easily last more than a work day.
While there isn't a huge difference, the new model does have more battery life in everyday use. What's odd about this video is that the base iPhone lasts longer than the iPhone 14 Pro, while the model with the best battery life is the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
But in a different battery test than some of the tests done, the iPhone 14 battery died sooner than the iPhone 13 and iPhone 15, so this also means that the iPhone 14 battery lasts longer than the iPhone 13 is not entirely accurate.
Obviously, the tests show that everything is reversible, but the degree of difference between them is not so great and is not a reason for the user to think in choosing one of the two models.
The difference in battery life between the two products is not too big.
If we look at DxOMark's battery analysis for light work, the iPhone 13 is rated at 115 with a battery life of 2 days and 4 hours, while the iPhone 14 is higher with a promise of 2 days and 5 hours. After all, when used lightly, the battery life is almost the same, with the iPhone 14 being 1 hour longer for moderate to heavy use.
Based on all the above conclusions, the iPhone 14 does indeed have a longer battery life than the iPhone 13, but in terms of being “more powerful”, this is not exactly true because the difference is not too big. Of course, for some users, an extra hour of battery life may be the key factor.
