When a new phone model comes out, we expect it to be an upgrade, and that's certainly the case with iPhones, as each new model usually has a mix of improved and identical specs. But with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, at least one spec could be a bit worse.
According to leaker ShrimpApplePro (opens in a new tab), the phone has a 4323 mAh battery, which would be a slight reduction from the 4352 mAh in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It's such a small difference that it's unlikely to have much of an impact on life, but it's definitely a shift in the wrong direction.
The source also revealed the possible capacities of other iPhone 14 models, with the standard iPhone 14 apparently having a 3279 mAh battery (compared to 3240 mAh in the iPhone 13), with the iPhone 14 Pro listed at 3200 mAh (compared with 3095mAh). in the iPhone 13 Pro), and the new iPhone 14 Max was supposed to have 4.325 mAh.

So it's not all bad news on the battery front, as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are apparently slightly larger, of which the Pro's boost is the biggest.
However, the iPhone 14 Max could be the battery champion because, according to this leak, it has the biggest battery of them all. Its capacity is supposed to be only 2 mAh more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but since the iPhone 14 Max probably has a lower refresh rate of 60 Hz, it probably won't consume as much battery as Apple's flagship product.
That said, we'd take this with a pinch of salt. The source could be wrong, especially since it says these specs are unconfirmed. Additionally, a much older leak suggested that each model would receive a larger battery than its predecessors.
Review: You probably won't have to worry about the iPhone 14 Pro Max's battery life
Even if this leak is accurate, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is likely to have very good battery life as the degradation is slight and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the longest-lasting iPhone yet.
In fact, for our review, we found battery life to be among the best we've seen on a modern flagship phone.
So if the iPhone 14 Pro Max has slightly less battery life, it likely has even more stamina than your average flagship. Also, its lifespan might not be worse anyway, as its chipset might be more efficient and Apple might have made other optimizations.
So while we expected, and still do, Apple to deliver a phone with really great battery life, even if it doesn't, the iPhone 14 Pro Max shouldn't particularly disappoint; in fact, it will probably be one of the best. best smartphones.
