It should be noted that, on paper, there are no major innovations from one model to another. While the iPhone 13 was presented with a 3240 mAh battery, the iPhone 14 boasted a 3279 mAh batteryBoth should last all day without any issues, although the iPhone 13 promises that you will be able to watch 19 hours of video and the iPhone 14 should last you up to 20 hours of video watching.
In theory, taking into account its somewhat higher autonomy and greater energy efficiency of its processor, the iPhone 14 has a battery that should last longer under the same conditions. That is, if there is no update that causes problems or if there is no fault in your phone. Although this is the theory, let’s see what happens in reality.
Which iPhone has the longest battery life?
Several battery tests have been done to see which of the two phones has the longest battery life or in comparison with others. Some of them are extreme, in which you can see that The iPhone 14 lasts longer without turning off. In this video you see below, when the iPhone 13 has run out of battery, after many tests, the iPhone 14 still has 6% left. Finally, turns off 16 minutes laterand as we have said after several uses. In real life it should last at least an hour longer. Although it is not a big difference, the most recent model does have more autonomy on a day-to-day basis. The curious thing about this video is that the base iPhones last longer than the iPhone 14 Pro, although the one with the best battery is the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
However, in another battery test in which several tests are carried out, finally The iPhone 14 runs out of stock sooner than the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 13, so you also have to keep in mind that although it should last longer than the previous model depending on how you use it, this may not be the case. Other tests, however, again show that the iPhone 14 lasts longer, as have its buyers. However, as we can see, the tables can turn and there are no major differences between the two models to make you want to buy one or the other.
If we go to the DXOMARK battery analysisthe iPhone 13 is ranked 115th with a battery that lasts 2 days and 4 hours. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 is very close behind with a battery that promises 2 days and 5 hours.
With light use they would last the same, 1 hour more in the case of the iPhone 14 in moderate and intensive useTherefore, the iPhone 14 does have a longer battery life and this has been confirmed in many tests and situations, although the difference is not that great.
What about the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro?
The Pro models are going to last longer than the base models, although it is interesting to know if the most recent one has gained more autonomy compared to the previous one. If we look at comments from various people and in the tests, it is true that the iPhone 14 Pro has a greater autonomy. We look at the DXOMARK results, and we see that while the iPhone 13 Pro promises an autonomy of 2 days and 5 hours, in the case of the iPhone 14 Pro battery life is 2 days and 6 hours.
With intensive use they should last the same 33 hours, but with light and moderate use the iPhone 14 Pro lasts an hour longer. Compared to the base models, the Pros have a battery life that lasts a little longer. In fact, the iPhone 13 Pro should last the same as the iPhone 14.
As we can see from the data and experience of people who have tried them, including ourselves, it is true that Each new model has greater autonomyand the Pros have more, however this improvement is not significant enough to make a decision unless what you care about is exclusively the battery life. You can gain an hour of usewhich for many is key, although the autonomy of the mobile will also depend on the use you give it and other aspects.
