Hello ktimez readers, if you are an Android user thinking about switching to iPhone, you may have been discouraged by their small batteries. Just consider the one-thousand-dollar Galaxy S22 Plus. It has a 4500 milliamp-hour battery while the eleven-hundred dollar iPhone 13 Pro Max has a 4352 milliamp-hour battery. That means you would pay an extra one-hundred dollars for 4 percent less capacity.
But it gets even worse with the iPhone 13 Pro, Which is the same price as the Galaxy S22 Plus but has a whopping 32% less battery capacity.
So considering these numbers, many are wondering why Apple isn’t putting larger batteries in their phones. And the answer has to do with efficiency. The average user doesn’t care about how large or small their battery is, all that matter is how long they can use their device before it needs to be recharged and while a larger battery might deliver longer battery life, that isn’t always the case. Just look at this battery life test from a Youtuber Jojol. The iPhone 13 Pro Max not only lasted the longest, but it still had 23% left after all the other android devices died, Including the Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra which has a 5,000 milliamp-hour battery, Which is 13% larger than Pro Max,
So how can the iPhone which has a smaller battery, achieve more real-world battery life? Well, the reason is power efficiency, Apple has carefully designed the iPhone’s hardware, Operating System, and Apps to optimize power efficiency at every stage so switching between apps, browsing the internet, or playing video games don’t consume as much as the battery as an Android, Since Google can’t optimize their Operating System for the hundred of various Android devices, Plus manufactures are free to add software features to their phones which many in the industry refer to as bloatware. This extra software often consumes more resources and drains power in the background without users even realizing it.
That is why the first thing many Android users do when setting up their new device is to remove all the software that spams them with endless notifications and adds that something iPhone users never worry about and all that extra junk on Android paired with its unoptimized Operating System, results in poor power efficiency So their larger batteries aren’t feature so much as a necessity and that’s the reality most customers don’t realize, A larger battery isn’t actually something manufactures want to put in their devices, Since there are heavy, take up more space, take longer to charge and can even be dangerous for example The Galaxy Note 7 which has one of the largest battery on the market, squeezed inside a 7.9 mm chassis this caused overheating problems, expanding battery packs and explosions, Apple has struck a balance between power and efficiency, battery size and battery life. Giving the user the most convenient and safe experience possible.
