New iPhones have poor battery life

It looks like you don't get what you pay for


While the Tame Apple Press emphasised the fact that its new iPhones would have superior battery performance as a reason for paying inflated prices for the new iPhones, it appears that it might have been untrue.

During Apple’s event earlier this month, the outfit claimed the iPhone XS would last 30 minutes longer than the iPhone X, and the XS Max would have 90 minutes more capacity.

The iPhone XS lasted 9 hours and 41 minutes, compared to the iPhone X’s 10 hours and 49 minutes. The iPhone XS Max lost out too, with 10 hours and 38 minutes of battery life.

“The iPhone XS Max turned in a run time of 10 hours and 38 minutes, which is well above the smartphone category average of 9:48. However, the iPhone XS lasted for just 9:41, which is slightly below the average. Last year’s iPhone X lasted 10:49 on the same test, despite claims from Apple that the iPhone XS was supposed to last 30 minutes longer”, the site wrote.

Worse still, they fall well short of competing handsets like the Huawei P20 Pro, Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and OnePlus 6.
