Why is the iPhone battery designed to last a day?

Battery-iPhone

Every September we find a new flagship of Apple's smart phone section, however since the beginning of time we all disavow for the same reason. The battery capacity is notably lower than the capacities offered by other high-end devices from other brands. Meanwhile, all Apple fans are disappointed for the same reason. Although the battery offers enough capacity for a day, there are not a few who end up wishing for batteries of two or three days, and they have not just appeared, especially now that Apple offers its own cases with portable battery, Why is the iPhone battery designed to last a day?

As they say in cultofmacWildcat Discovery Technology Chief Scientific Officer Dee Strand says that lithium-ion battery performance has improved considerably in recent years. The problem ends up being the same in all editions, the new features, especially the software, ended up draining the battery in a way that sometimes even exceeds the level at which its performance grows. Strand himself said:

I like that they ask when we are going to create a battery that lasts several days. The answer is never. With all the improvements in batteries, the only thing mobile companies think about is adding more and more battery-guzzling features, as that is what users really demand. The screen is bigger, brighter, more applications ... All these features are designed so that when combined they will kill the battery in one day. Batteries will continue to improve, no doubt, but phones will continue to have more functions and features, so they will probably never end up lasting more than a day.

New features, new battery, same life

The whiting that bites its tail, day after day, year after year. In essence, it is impossible for the battery to improve noticeably, although it does so sneakily. Each CPU is superior, and no matter how optimized it is, it will end up consuming at least the same power as the previous version. In the next iPhone model we will also find the mobile data chip that allows 5G connections, and we are not fooled again, they promised improved consumptions with 4G - LTE and yet the consumptions were notably higher than those of 3G, for a simple reason, the scarce coverage of the new networks which forces to constantly change the band .

On the other hand, we find multitasking on devices such as the iPad Air 2, with Night Shift in iOS 9.3, with increasingly larger screens, more speakers, more GPUs ... In short, it is almost impossible for the iPhone battery to last longer than it does. hard.

Why does Apple use smaller batteries than the competition?

What more would I like than to give you a quick and simple answer for this. We all know that Apple regularly uses batteries with significantly lower mAh performance than the competition. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a capacity of 3000 mAh, while the iPhone 6s Plus 2750 mAh having a lower resolution. This forces us to question ourselves about how long the iPhone battery would last if it had the same capabilities as the high-end of other brands.

Most likely with the iPhone 7 we will find more of the same, a battery lower than the high-end of other brands excusing itself in the thickness of the device. However, despite the fact that iOS does a great management of the battery, it has much to improve, it is almost impossible for an iPhone 6 or 6s to reach two days of duration, almost all of us are forced to charge the device during the night and it seems that way it will continue to be for a while. In the meantime, it's nice to know from battery scientists that it's not their fault that the battery seems to be growing in tiny steps.

So you can charge the iPhone battery faster

If the autonomy of the iPhone is only one day, these tips to charge the battery faster They can help you in case you are in a hurry.

They are fairly simple tricks but they cut the loading time necessary to reach 100%.

    Reading this article I wanted to tell you if you look at Apple, comparing with the competition, it uses almost everything less than the competition, I explained lower screen resolution lower battery lower cores alone two less ram memory

    The important thing is the minutes of active screen, the average is between 5 or 6 hours

    That is a fallacy and this man is totally deluded. In the end, people continue to use the telephone for the same thing. Neither Force Touch, nor Live Photos nor the pijama that they have been adding since iOS 5/6. More battery and better optimization. That is the true reality.
