in 5 years +228 mAh or 7.4852265 increase over iphone 11

From 3200 mAh to 3274 mAh +74mAh or +2.3125 % just to stay in the same spot

This is Apples DEPUTY flagship £999 or $999 or EUR 1,199

I write The Emperor's New Clothes .
But unless AI makes vast improvements fembots or Android is a better bet, and spending less than entering an Apple store and asking for the iPhone Pro (sic)

        Given an 3nm chip and other available technological advancements to improve efficiency, such battery life is one of the most disappointing things of the 15 Pro.

          No mention of the overheating issue in the verdict?

          This is a concern that is still not resolved despite what Apple may end up doing about it (still has not done anything about it anyway) - for a flagship phone of this price, I would certainly hold off.

          Not only can we presume Apple will slow down the phone/display/whatever to tone down the heat, but there's no telling what effect this may have on the battery in the longer run.

            Anonymous, 04 Oct 202386H....is this even 2023??🙄 Honestly it's already quite decent battery life for the battery size.

            Just take a look at Redmi Note 12 Pro+. 5000mah battery and 88h endurance rating. They had one job...

                Xperia has 5000mAh. Iphone does not

                  So actually iPhone benefits left are:
                  - OS support (they are way better than any Android or even Pixel can offer)
                  - Video capturing
                  - Wide ecosystem

                  This is sad that innovations stopped.

Spec wise it's not even close since Sony has their overpriced flagship which is huge and has the ugliest bezels ever.

                          Thank you very much for that high-class review! But what Apple is offering in terms of the connectivity to external monitors (especially in the often visible 16:9 format), is a simple mess and super-ridiculous!! Apple could have used the introduction of the USB-C port to offer a better casting mode for external monitors. Ridiculous enough that there is no desktop mode or a split screen feature (displaying 2 Apps next to eachother on the phone screen - including things like drag & drop). From a "Productivity" feature-set, the IPhones 15 Pro (including the Max) are so incredible dumb and incapable, and this in the light of such massive price-tags! Shame & Blame to Apple!

                                        I charged the Pro Max Sunday night, and it was at 20% Tuesday evening with moderate use. I wonder what the Pro is like hands on?
