I remember when they used to make these videos on a regular basis. They skipped pixel 8 and s23 fe

Will be interesting how the plus does next year. I believe the pro max will regain the best battery life title if there is a size increase in the screen for the 16 pro max

Im using iphone 15 and it doesn’t last for one day. I use 4G not wifi to make video call . Also using youtube instagram facebook . It only last for 4hours

I have the 15 pro max and it’s been the best battery I’ve ever had in a phone. I go easily from 345am to 930pm and still have about 30% with 8 hrs of sot.

Impressive results.

As for YT producing less SOT on the Pro models, I suspect that has to do with YT still not being updated by Google for the A17 pro. It took them months to get the A16 optimised. So expect the Pros to get better SOT with YT sooner rather than later, assuming Google bothers. The web test was on Safari, so we can see that it is better optimised for the A17P chip because it is an Apple app. Hence, it easily beats out the A16 for SOT. I use Safari for YT, and it gets better battery life on my iPhone 15PM than this test.

Amazing the battery life we get out of these small computers/phones. Thankfully, Android no longer uses Samsung-made chips, so they can also enjoy brilliant battery life comparable with the iPhone 15s.

I got the iPhone 15 pro when it came out and it overheats like crazy. I thought with the updates it would go away eventually. But yesterday I literally got burnt from my phone. It heats up like an oven literally everyday and I have to constantly recharge it. I’m worried because I think it’s too late for me to switch to the iPhone 15 plus without spending a bunch of extra money :(

I am still so confused between standard and plus model. For battery i definitely wanna go for plus series but it's a known thing that 60hz will feel more sluggish as you go up in screen size. Any suggestions here??

[jwester]

Is the ambient mode enabled for Youtube on the Pro models? That could make a big difference on how much battery life et consumes

[sepherinaallard]

Thank you .. hope to buy the 15 plus.. please God 😊

[Lyra_Lycan]

Well I couldn't use the same videos but 100%-0%, YouTube on 50% brightness and 1080p fixed, my OnePlus 6T got 11 hours exactly, beating three of these phones. I'd love to see an equal comparison with the 6T and the current gen flagships

[Earl]

Incorrect, the 15 plus has the biggest battery capacity.

[Azzzu]

Thanks fa video. I was just waiting fa latest video fa this❤

[NickDolanMusic]

15PM battery is awful after a year. Already below 90% max charge capacity. Downgrading asap.

[lateam]

I love the pro max won’t be going back to the smaller models

[Eskassi]

A similar test involving the iPhone 14 Plus has never been released on your channel. It's unfortunate.

[paultasker]

Great test. Now to do all the pixels currently on sale, 6a V 7a V 8 v 8 pro. Be interesting to see what the difference is between these.

[wansyazzuan]

1% in evey 4 minutes when use. is that normal

[fhowland]

What's the point in spending $200 more for the pro if the battery life is *worse!*.

[LILABSS]

I’m deciding between the 15 and 25 plus😭😭😭😭

[theorgazoid]

My wife’s regular 15 is a lot better than my 15 pro
