Apple iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro underwhelm in battery life analysis

It seems that Apple's marketing for the iPhone 14 Plus does not always live
up to the hype.

According to the company, the iPhone 14 Plus offers its 'longest battery
life ever', presumably because it combines the battery from the iPhone 14
Pro Max with a lower resolution and slower display.

However, DxOMark's battery life analysis suggests otherwise.

The battery of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro lasts about the same time as that of
the previous model.

Not only does the iPhone 14 Plus offer worse battery life than the iPhone
14 Pro Max, but also the iPhone 14 Pro ranks a mere 44th on the website's
battery life leaderboard.

Sadly, the iPhone 14 Plus takes a while to recharge too, as remains the
case with all iPhones. Supposedly, the handset needs 2:29 hours to recharge
via a wired connection and 2:54 hours if placed on a wireless charger.

I did not say that. But relays like you are redundant.
Most users in the Usenet know how to use Google.

The first time you opined that dopey remark, I ignored it.
The next time you opined that dopey remark, I ignored it.
The last time you opined that dopey remark, I ignored it.

Most users on Usenet don't exude witless offal like you just did.

It's not a "relay" and if you read the source and compared it to the
message content, you'd deduce I distil to the remarkable points of view.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Battery test

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max had excellent power retention and delivery but
contrary to widespread promotions it scored slightly below its predecessor.

The Apple 20W charger (not included) took 2 hours and 21 minutes which is
longer than average. Similarly, the wireless charger took 2 hours and 44
minutes to fully charge the battery which was also longer than average.

Autonomy was very good when scrolling social apps but battery performance
struggled when using the new demanding camera and during navigation tests.

The discharge currents & residual consumption were very low which indicates
a well-optimized device which lost less than 2% per night on average.

Compared with devices from the same ultra-premium price range ($800+), the
iPhone 14 Pro Max earned the second to highest score, just below it's
predecessor

Contrary to the widespread advertisements, the iPhone 14 Pro Max earned a
score just below its predecessor thanks to its excellent autonomy and
efficiency. However, its charging score was among the lowest.
