A recent Chinese rumor claims that the battery capacity of this year’s Apple iPhone 15 series would significantly improve. The story purports to be from an “insider” at a Foxconn facility. All four models stand to gain, and if the iPhone 15 battery gets bigger, Apple will be able to add more features.
The rumored sizes are shown below. According to reports, the iPhone 15 battery capacity is 3,877 mAh, the iPhone 15 Plus is 4,912 mAh, the iPhone 15 Pro is 3,650 mAh, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max is 4,852 mAh.
As a result, there have been some noticeable increases across the board, and if this report is true, it is obvious that Apple’s devices will do exceptionally well in our battery testing. It’s the first time an iPhone has gotten this close to 5,000 mAh, and when you take into account Apple’s renown for having its own custom CPUs that are well-tuned, the battery life on all the phones should be excellent.
This year’s iPhones will reportedly be a little thicker than last year’s models, which makes sense, assuming they have bigger batteries inside, according to IT Home.
According to the information, the iPhone 15 battery will be 18% larger, the ones on the iPhone 15 Plus and Pro will be 14% larger, and the battery on the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be 12% larger. According to reports, the precise capacity adjustments are as follows:
Apple doesn’t provide precise battery parameters for its iPhones, in contrast to Android OEMs. Instead, the business concentrates on displaying the current battery life of its products, with a focus on real-world applications like online surfing and video streaming. Because of this, we don’t know the iPhone’s actual battery requirements until after the handsets go on sale.
iPhone battery capacities
iPhones have been dominating the world for many years now, and the company adds important features every year to its upcoming smartphones. In history, Apple has manufactured many different iPhone models, and in the last few years, the battery became one of the most important aspects.
New features meant more battery usage, which pushed Apple to put bigger batteries in their iPhones. iPhone 15 battery will decide many things on the upcoming device. Here are the battery capacities of every iPhone in the last couple of years:
iPhone 13 series battery capacity
- iPhone 13 mini – 2406 mAh
- iPhone 13 – 3227 mAh
- iPhone 13 Pro – 3095 mAh
- iPhone 13 Pro Max – 4352 mAh
iPhone 14 series battery capacity
- iPhone 14: 3279 mAh
- iPhone 14 Plus – 4325 mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro – 3200 mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro Max – 4323 mAh
iPhone 15 series battery capacity
- iPhone 15 – 3877 mAh
- iPhone 15 Plus – 4912 mAh
- Phone 15 Pro – 3650 mAh
- iPhone 15 Pro Max – 4852 mAh
If the modifications are accurate, the 15 Plus would have a larger battery capacity than the Pro Max variant, maintaining its lead over the 15 Pro as the iPhone with the smallest battery.
Although the source has no prior experience, the claimed capacities appear credible, particularly in light of the fact that this year’s iPhone models are anticipated to become somewhat thicker, allowing for more internal space for larger batteries.
It is quite likely that this year will see battery life improvements across the board for the whole iPhone lineup thanks to the efficiency enhancements of the A16 and A17 Bionic CPUs.
iPhone 15 release date
If Apple sticks to its usual September release schedule, the iPhone 15 models will most likely be available in September 2023. Apple is still quiet on the iPhone 15, let alone when it will be released. However, as Cupertino usually releases new iPhones at the same time every year, it is quite possible that the iPhone 15 will be released in September 2023.
The iPhone 13 debuted on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, while the iPhone 14 debuted on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. The iPhone 15 might go on sale on September 5, 6, 12, or 13 of 2023 if Apple once again chooses a Tuesday or Wednesday in the first week of September.
The 12th of September, which is a day of remembering in America, is thought to be too near to 9/11 by some Apple observers, who disagree. The remaining dates would be September 5th, 6th, and 13th. Of course, all of this is just conjecture; it’s doubtful that Apple has even finalized the iPhone 15 or set a release date.
Apple events typically take place at the company’s Apple Park headquarters in California and begin around 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. BST, and 4 a.m. AEST. Let’s see if these rumors of the iPhone 15 battery will become true!
