Although Apple shares detailed hardware specifications of its latest iPhones every year, the company doesn’t explicitly announce the battery capacity. Rather than sharing concrete numbers in milliampere-hours (mAh) or watt-hours (watts) like most Android OEMs, Apple only specifies how long a battery can typically last on a full charge while performing specific tasks, such as playing video or the sound. However, if you want to know the exact battery capacity of the latest iPhone 14 series devices before making a purchase, you are in luck.
Mac rumors I got the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max battery capacities from a Chinese regulatory database. According to the publication, three of the four new models feature larger batteries than the iPhone 13 lineup. Surprisingly, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the only exception, and it has a slightly smaller battery than the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The new iPhone 14 has a 3,279 mAh battery, which is a minor upgrade compared to the 3,227 mAh cell on the iPhone 13. The iPhone 14 Pro’s 3,200 mAh battery pack is also slightly larger than the 3,095 mAh unit in the iPhone 13 Pro. The iPhone 14 Plus gets the same 4,325mAh battery as the iPhone 13 Pro Max, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4,323mAh battery.
Although the differences are marginal, Apple claims that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max offer an extra hour of offline video playback compared to their iPhone 13 counterparts. However, there is no direct comparison to the iPhone 14 Plus Because it replaces the smaller iPhone 13 mini, which features a smaller 2,406mAh battery. Given that the iPhone 14 Plus packs the largest battery pack of the bunch, Apple claims to offer “Best battery life ever” on the iPhone. However, the technical specifications on the Apple website say otherwise.
The website states that the iPhone 14 Plus provides up to 26 hours of video playback, up to 20 hours of video streaming, and up to 100 hours of audio playback. In comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max offers up to 29 hours of video playback, up to 25 hours of video streaming, and up to 95 hours of audio playback. The difference in battery life rating for video playback can be attributed to the ProMotion display on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which offers adaptive refresh rate support to reduce power consumption. This is why iPhone 14 Plus only beats the premium model in audio playback.
