The iPhone 15 battery capacity appears to be slightly higher than its predecessor, a regulatory filing suggests.
Across all four models, the battery capacity of the newest next-gen handset is seen to fare better than the iPhone 14 models.
iPhone 15 Battery Capacity
As seen in a regulatory filing, the iPhone 15's battery fares slightly better than its predecessor.
One of the long-time rumors about the iPhone 15 is its impressive battery quality that can last longer than the iPhone 14's battery.
MySmartPrice spotted recently via a Chinese regulatory filing the details about the battery capacity of the new model.
Here's what is indicated in the regulatory database.
- iPhone 15: 3,349mAh, 12.981Wh
- iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383mAh, 16.950Wh
- iPhone 15 Pro: 3,274mAh, 12.70Wh
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422mAh, 17.109Wh
For reference, here is the list of the battery capacity of the iPhone 14 released in 2022.
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro: 3,200mAh
- iPhone 14 Plus: 4,325mAh
- iPhone 14: 3,279mAh
Of course, the battery life will always bear a trade-off with the performance of the smartphone. This is because Apple needs to balance out the two factors.
With the USB-C port for iPhone 15, Apple says that the 20W charger is still usable for all models just like what we encountered last year.
If you're a MagSafe wireless charger user, you can still use your 15W charger.
