The iPhone 7 is the high-end with the worst autonomy, according to Which?

iPhone 7 Low Battery

As every year, Apple ensures that the iPhone 7 is the best iPhone they have ever released - the opposite would be surprising - but it may not be that good in all areas. The middle Which? has performed one of the many tests that are done every time a new smartphone is launched and, according to their study, the autonomy of the iPhone 7 is very poor compared to other competing flagships.

Although the British media assures that the autonomy of the iPhone 7 is similar to that of other devices with a battery of the same size, the truth is that other terminals like the HTC 10, the Samsung Galaxy S7 or the LG G5 they last much longer without having to connect to a power outlet to refuel. With these results, it seems that the iPhone 7 is not the phone dreamed of by users who need a lot of autonomy.

The battery could be the Achilles heel of the iPhone 7

2016 flagship autonomy

Although it is true that in the use of Internet by 3G there is not so much difference, in the calls made over 3G yes there is. The Galaxy S7, the third on this podium, is capable of 3G calling more than twice as long as the iPhone 7, which is being said soon.

To be honest, and although I do not question the Which? Test, information such as autonomy when viewing videos, listening to music, etc. is missing. In this test They have used their own simulator, they have set the brightness to the same level on all devices and have made a 100% load to which they have added a little more time, probably the extra half hour that some applications recommend.

Although I insist that I do not doubt that the iPhone 7 does not enjoy as good autonomy as other terminals of the competition, it also seems important to mention that something is happening with iOS 10 that causes the battery to "drink". My recently sold iPhone 6s also saw its autonomy plummet since I installed iOS 10, which suggests that there are some problems that could be fixed in future updates.

In any case, this is the study of Which? and it shows that Apple's pending issue is autonomy. Will next year improve with the expected OLED display of the XNUMXth anniversary iPhone?
