Just a few weeks ago, Apple has presented its new iPhone 12, this year with four new devices, more than ever, including a mini version. Now that the phones have been with their owners for a few days, we are beginning to know some results about the durability offered by their batteries, which when playing games has worsened a lot.
Nowadays, playing on the mobile is one of the most important facets for many users, and although there are gaming mobiles for them, those who spend good money on an iPhone 12 expect maximum performance when playing, and durability. Well, they are going to be very disappointed.
Half durability
The new Apple phones have curiously reduced the capacity of their battery compared to their predecessors, a little, but they have reduced it. And while most tests prove that the durability is practically the same as the iPhone 11 in most cases, the test we refer to today gives terrible results when we talk about the durability of the phone when it comes to playing games . In this test to which we refer, we have been able to verify that when it comes to playing the durability of the phone has been reduced by almost half.
And when we talk about playing we do it about games in 3D, with a three-dimensional engine to be moved by the GPU, we are not talking about casual games in two dimensions. In these cases, it has been found that the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have remained on for 3 hours and 1 minute , while in the case of the iPhone 11 Pro the same game has been running for 6 hours and 38 minutes , more than double the durability. In the case of the iPhone 11 it has increased to 7 hours and 37 minutes and in the iPhone SE 2020 to 5 hours. In all cases, much more durability than in the case of the new iPhone 12.
Better results when you don’t play
It’s funny, but the new Apple phones offer better durability when performing tasks other than the game, and we mean compared to their predecessors. With almost four more hours when we talk about the iPhone 11 Pro and more than an hour compared to the iPhone 11.
When it comes to playing videos on YouTube, the durability is similar to that of the previous generation. Therefore it seems that the problems come when playing. In any case, we understand that it is a problem in energy management while playing , and not hardware, since if there are better results in other areas, it does not make sense that the performance is half in other cases.
