[@Bucking_Fastard]

Looks like the battery situation with the Mini is not as bad as the reviews make it seem. Obviously, its battery capacity is lower. But it's still perfectly adequate.

[@flopface2237]

Unless you are using your phone for more than 5 to 6 hours of heavy usage, itll do just fine. I will however be interested to see how it performs battery wise a few years down the line

[@Bucking_Fastard]

@@flopface2237 True, the final result will depend on the style of usage. (Same with the battery longevity.) But I think that the people who require the heavy usage are not the same customers that are going to buy the Mini.

I have a mini I mainly use social media safari and KZbin and I literally get 5 hrs of screen time w 50% battery left

Finally a battery review for the mini

[@mohammadxahid5984]

His battery test sucks.The phones did practically nothing in web browsing but sitting on there at apple.com (no scrolling, no refresh hence no network/ram usage). Same shit also in gaming (no stress on the ram/processor/gpu as the phone just hangs around the starting point the whole time). And the volume level was at ZERO during the whole test (check volume level at 1:28, 2:03, 2:33, 2:58, 3:13, 3:33)

[@iammaleo]

Yup my 12 mini lasts about the same 8-9 hours every day so I’m blown away by Apple, they truly made this a mini flagship phone

[@ziezdevries1548]

Do a battey test with a simcard in because thats a real life test. Mobile internet and network connection drains a lot of battery.

[@Meneope]

I think the idea here is to compare the relative outputs of each phones to each other rather than give you an absolute lasting time for each phone

[@Meneope]

A more poignant point would be to compare continuous camera usage rather than just playback as it may make a difference between the 12 and 12 pro

[@jhoncabrera7283]

Yes. That's why I wished Apple used a larger battery capacity like (1) 4,000 mAh for the iPhone 12 mini, (2) 5,000 mAh for the iPhone 12, (3) 6,000 nAh for the iPhone 12 Pro, and (4) 7,000 mAh battery for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Heck, do you know if there is a manufacturer that sells a 10,000 mAh battery case for the iPhone 12 Pro Max?

[@wsv.bravo.228]

My 12 pro max I bought like a week ago and it has been good it last me hora on a single charge I charger it once per day most of the time I’m the morning while I’m in school and it chargers so fast but after like 94% it chargers slow but I usually stop charging when it’s at 94 and it only takes like an hour and a half 2 tops if I’m not listening to music and it will last me the whole day till the next morning

[@wsv.bravo.228]

Then I just repeat again and again

[@brangja4815]

I mean, almost 9 hr for continuous on-screen use + gaming. Its more than enough.

[@comboz2goodo_o944]

This test should include social media and other things like that bc not everyone will only use it to watch videos all day and to play games.

[@ChrisJimenez2010]

Still the same idea. 12 mini has about 25 percent less battery than the Max

[@ccarldaniel]

Totally agree

[@XX-nf9pi]

social media is gonna consume less battery than things like videos and gaming so if you’re satisfied with how they did in this video you’ll be even more satisfied with lighter usage

[@sheeeessh]

@@mohammadxahid5984 Your comment is a bit misleading. It doesn't matter if the phones were just sitting on 1 website, the RAM would still be utilized, the network wouldn't be utilized but the RAM clearly will be, the CPU also wouldn't have work as hard as it needs to since there aren't that much elements moving on-screen. As for gaming, it's fair, both the CPU and GPU were being utilized, it also is a bit unfair but this comment is already very long so, I won't get into that.
