iPhone 12 series batteries pass multiple certifications, 20W charger also spotted

13 July 2020
The battery capacities are lower than on the iPhone 11 series.

Wow, some companies like oppo, vivo and xiaomi are promoting their 100+w chargers but apple is still using their 20w charger for their new flagship......and alot of companies nowadays are selling phones with 5000+mah batteries and way cheaper prices while apple is still using batteries under 4000 and 3000mah for their very expensive phones....even some phones under 300$ now have puncholes instead of the notch while apple is still using notches on literary every phone

    RealLifePhones, 13 Jul 2020So the bet on 120Hz displays is off?!Yeah it looks like apple couldn't put in the resources as it's too expensive to put 120hz screen hence speculation could be the fact that even samsung in s30 won't have 120hz to save battery life😂🤣

      RealLifePhones, 13 Jul 2020So the bet on 120Hz displays is off?!Yeah, if they have 120hz display and 5G, both features that are battery killers, Apple needs bigger batteries in those phones.

        Why would the battery capacity have less than the previous iPhone's, makes no sense considering they are rumored to come with 5G which is more power consuming than 4G.

          AnonD-763241, 13 Jul 2020Definitely it's going to have equal or better battery ... moreSecond that, even better battery life will be in 2020 model (pro max also have, great battery life)

            Nicolas F, 13 Jul 2020I'll be laughing hard and happily if iPhone 12 Pro Max... moreIt could be that sales are expected to go down so they put out something like this so next year's iPhone will sell like hot cakes.

              So the bet on 120Hz displays is off?!

                I'm confused why the battery capacity is smaller on both 12 6.1/pro 6.1 and 12 pro max when this new design allows for a bigger battery and with the pro max being slightly bigger than the 11 Pro max than it should atleast be 4000mah as that's what the 11 Pro max is , also if there's 120hz on the pros then why would they use a smaller battery capacity than the 11 series , so I doubt the capacities are actually correct

                  ThePong, 13 Jul 2020Apple chips are definitely power-efficient compared to powe... moreBattery life means more than capacity in the long run; I hope that lesser battery means more room for cooling and something else useful :)

Though yeah, the screen is bigger, though it's OLED and more modern, so it's hard to predict iPhone 12's battery life.

                          Just around 2300mAh battery? Hopefully the battery life won't be as disappointing as with the new SE.

                              I never had strong expectations on an iPhone when it comes to battery and charging solution. Hopefully its SoC is efficient and powerful enough to counter this shortcoming.

                                    20W is quite slow by today's standards for a flagship. At least it's USB-C this time. Bye cr*ppy Lightning port.

                                        Clearly confirms that there would not be any 120hz display. 120hz would for sure have needed a better battery. I'll have to skip this year.

                                        NO 120hz,
                                        NO big change in Camera
                                        NO Charger in box
                                        NO type-c or NO portless

                                        NEW PROCESSOR
                                        NEW BODY
                                        thats all.
