Lithium batteries are one of those creations that have been imposed. Right now, all the devices I have on my table use lithium battery. From my MacBook Air to my mouse, through the iPhone, headphones, etc.
But, along with lithium batteries, the question has come about how to use them, how to make them last longer and, above all, what is the reason for this ignorance about its operation.
Apple took a hard hit with battery problems a few months ago. Problems that were not a problem, but a unilateral decision by Apple that, depending on how you look at it, impoverished or improved its daily use.
To solve, or to be more transparent with all this, Apple has finally released iOS 11.3 and its long-awaited "Battery Health" improvement.. Along with this new section of the settings, many of us expected that iOS 11.3 would be accompanied by a considerable improvement in battery performance. But it seems that this has not been the case, rather the opposite.
Leaving aside personal opinions of people who say they improve, people who say they consume much more charge now, the guys at iAppleBytes have posted the video we all wanted. Five iPhone with iOS 11.2.6, which make their own control group with iOS 11.3, to see, in a battery test with Geekbench 4, how long they last on.
These videos we should consider them curiosities rather than actual evidence. You would have to use many iPhones in many different situations to conclude if iOS 11.3 really consumes the battery charge more quickly. Still, eThe video shows how all iPhones, without exception, turn off earlier with iOS 11.3, although the difference is in minutes.
Another interesting fact is that, as expected, the iPhone 8 is the one that lasts the longest. Nevertheless, It is the iPhone 6S and not the iPhone 7 the second that lasts the longest with iOS 11.2.6, but with iOS 11.3 the iPhone 7 is second.
They do not use any "Plus" model in the test.. If you use an iPhone 5S (a shame it's not the iPhone SE) it gets better battery life than the iPhone 6.
In my personal opinion, with an iPhone 7 Plus, I noticed that battery performance improved with previous versions of iOS 11. With iOS 11.3 I have not noticed any difference yet, neither for the better nor for the worse.
In the article you say that with ios11.3 the second that lasts the longest is the iphone 7 when in the video it is not like that, it is the 6s, in fact according to the comparison the battery worsens and the benchmark too.
Hello! In the final comparative table it says how the iPhone 7 has a "runtime" of 2 hours and 51 minutes with iOS 11.3. The iPhone 6S has 2 hours and 47 minutes, which is less.
I have looked at the table again and I do not see where the error you are commenting is. If you explain it to me better and it turns out that I have seen it wrong, I correct it, of course.
Hi folks, I have an iPhone SE with iOS 11.3 it's insane how much it consumes the battery. At least 3 times a day I charge it. If I had to measure time with a game, in 40 minutes with Asphalt 8 it consumes all the battery. With the 11.2 I would charge it from time to time, at most twice a day.
