While Apple typically keeps its iPhone battery capacities under wraps, a recent discovery from a Chinese regulatory database has shed light on the power behind the latest iPhone 15 series. Interestingly, the data reveals that the iPhone 15 Pro Max boasts the largest battery unit, while the iPhone 15 Pro surprisingly features the smallest.
Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro faced a surge in demand as pre-orders opened worldwide, causing initial delivery estimates to extend well into November, according to a report by Bloomberg. Notably, the Pro Max model, starting at Rs 1,59,900 in India, witnessed delivery dates slipping as far as mid-November in the US. India is seeing a delay of up to eight weeks for a more limited set of Pro Max models. This delay trend could persist and worsen as more pre-orders flood in.
The cited source revealed that the newly launched iPhone 15 has a 3,349mAh battery under the hood, whereas the iPhone 15 Plus offers a 4,383mAh unit. The iPhone 15 Pro comes with a 3,274mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 4,422mAh battery. Comparatively, the iPhone 14 has a 3,279mAh battery, whereas the iPhone 14 Plus features a 4,325mAh unit under the hood. The iPhone 14 Pro packs a 3,200mAh battery and the iPhone 14 Pro Max sports a 4,323mAh battery. The database details were obtained by MySmartPrice.
Despite these incremental battery capacity increases, Apple only talked about the new phone’s battery life and didn’t reveal whether people will get a better experience compared to the previous version. It’s likely that the differences are subtle and may not result in noticeable enhancements in real-world usage.
