A new super leak indicates that the iPhone 13 can have much larger batteries than last year’s iPhone 12 series. This probably means better battery life, which is always desirable.
- New 120Hz screens from Samsung
- Up to 18 percent larger battery capacity
- Energy-efficient Apple A15 processor
It is the well-known leak l0vet0dream that reveals that Apple can use larger batteries in the upcoming iPhone 13. On the website Weibo he writes, for example, that the iPhone 13 Pro Max can get a battery of 4,352 mAh, which can be compared with the battery of 3,687 mAh in the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
18 percent larger battery in iPhone 13 Pro Max
This is a size difference of 18 percent, which can be said to be a real difference.
The leak l0vet0dream also says that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro get batteries of 3,095 mAh.
An increase from the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro which has 2,815.
The difference here is not as big as for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but still a respectable 10 percent increase.
120Hz screens the reason for larger batteries
A big reason why Apple wants to use larger batteries in the iPhone 13 series has to do with the new screens.
According to previous information, the mobile phones use a new 120Hz ProMotion screen manufactured by Samsung. Faster screens have a softer image display but consume more energy, which means that the batteries are strained harder.
That said, the iPhone 13 series uses the new Apple A15 processor, which is expected to be both more powerful and energy-efficient than ever. Lower energy consumption means lower battery impact, but whether it is enough to meet the increase from the screens remains to be seen (probably not!).
