When new iPhones see the light of day, the topic of batteries is always of particular interest, and with the advent of iPhone 14 was no exception. Especially among those people who depend too much on their terminal in their daily lives. Apple, of course, usually promotes the autonomy of the new generation as the most durable of all, although during the presentation it rarely goes into specific numbers. In fact, we still do not know the capacity of the iPhone 14 battery. Usually this information is known until specialized sites disassemble the device.
Despite the above, now that the official iPhone 14 sites are already active, you can find out more data about their autonomy. With the latter at hand, you can now compare them with previous generation models. Please note, however, that the numbers can vary greatly depending on the tasks you perform on your device. Also keep in mind that these types of figures are obtained by testing in controlled environments.
The iPhone 14 does improve the battery of its predecessors, but the difference varies depending on the analyzed model. For example, this year Apple brought the Plus variant back to standard iPhones. With a larger case, the company had more room to install a larger battery. That’s why the iPhone 14 Plus comes out ahead by a wide margin over the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone 11.
| iPhone 14 A plus | iPhone 14 | iphone 13 | iphone 12 | iphone 11 | |
| Autonomy when playing video | 26 hours | 20 hours | 19 hours | 17 hours | 18 hours |
| Autonomy in audio playback | 100 hours | 80 hours | 75 hours | 65 hours | 65 hours |
This apparent discrepancy doesn’t translate to the same on the iPhone 14 Pro, as its immediate predecessors, the iPhone 13 Pro, were nearly the same size.
| iphone 14 pro | iphone 13 pro |
| Height 147.5 mm. Width 71.5 mm. 7.85 mm thick. |
Height 146.7 mm. Width 71.5 mm. 7.65 mm thick. |
| iPhone 14 ProMax | iPhone 13 ProMax |
| 160.7 mm high. Width 77.6 mm. 7.85 mm thick. |
160.8 mm high. Width 78.1 mm. 7.65 mm thick. |
In addition, internally there was no significant rearrangement of components to make room for the battery. If you compare with the old iPhone, then there you will notice a big difference. You can see it below:
| iPhone 14 Pro | iphone 13 Pro | iphone 12 Pro | iphone 11 Pro | |
| Autonomy when playing video | 23 hours | 22 hours | 17 hours | 18 hours |
| Autonomy in audio playback | 75 hours | 75 hours | 65 hours | 65 hours |
| iPhone 14 Pro Maximum | iphone 13 Pro Maximum | iphone 12 Pro Maximum | iphone 11 Pro Maximum | |
| Autonomy when playing video | 29 hours | 28 hours | 20 hours | 20 hours |
| Autonomy in audio playback | 95 hours | 95 hours | 80 hours | 80 hours |
These comparisons lead to several important conclusions. First, if you have an iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro and are planning to upgrade your device, please note that the increase in autonomy will be barely noticeable. On the contrary, if you are going to upgrade from an older model, you will definitely notice a difference. Especially since your mobile phone, due to being used, has shortened its battery life, and a full charge no longer lasts as long as it did when it was just released.
In the specific case of the iPhone 14, Plus model is perfect for those people who, in addition to wanting a bigger screen without breaking their wallet for the Pro Max, need an autonomy that lasts longer.
