They’re not exactly going to make it worse are they? This just makes sense

There have been a couple generations that had worse battery life than the one before. It wouldn’t be unheard of.

I’m glad I got the basic iPhone 15 to replace my old iPhone 8 Plus. I don’t need all the bells and whistles of the pro line.

Apple definitely should have added a bigger battery to the Pro lineup.

My only explanation is that the ProMotion, hence the GPU, decided to consume more. It’s evident on how YouTube and the games depleted 30% of the battery while the iPhone 15 Plus was just chill.

And that seems like a problem on both Pro Max. Videos and Games on 120Hz means low battery life. I wonder how it would have lasted ProMotion was disabled and keep the brightened at the same nits.

I wonder how it would have lasted.

I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You’d still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.

I guess one could switch on low power mode to limit it to 60 Hz. Not very hopeful though because I’ve read of 13/14 Pro users getting crazy lag when on low power.

14 Pro User here.

Yes. It’s crazy. Typing in any app makes it lag, no matter if iMessage, Mail, WhatsApp, internet, in here, Notes…

The rest is lag-less. So as long as you don’t type you’re good using power saving mode.

sigh This option shouldn’t be hidden in accessibility.

Does it reduce the frame rate to 60 HZ?

Are all the iPhones at 100% battery health though?
