So we got some new information here, information that really shouldn't be new because we should have known about it already
0:09
That is the battery capacity of the brand new iPhones, the XS, XS Max, and the XR
0:17
Unlike pretty much every other manufacturer in the smartphone space, Apple does not expose the battery capacity for their devices at their keynote or even on their website
0:29
their website. You can't find it anywhere. They prefer to quote improvements in talk time or
0:35
video watching time, things like this, without actually telling you what the milliamp hour
0:40
rating is of the batteries that are going into their devices. Now they do the same thing with
0:44
RAM as well. And ultimately this means as a customer, you just have less information at
0:50
your disposal when it comes to making a decision about whether or not you want to purchase one of
0:54
these devices. So come on, Apple, just give us the number. Don't make it hard to find
0:59
Anyhow in order to sell their devices in China they actually have to submit to China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in which they have to state the battery capacity of the devices that they be selling
1:12
there locally in China. But of course the devices will pack the same battery regardless of where
1:18
they're sold around the world. Now there's a really interesting finding when you look at this
1:23
document here which was originally posted by Mac Rumors. You come to find that the iPhone XS
1:29
actually has a slightly smaller battery than the iPhone X had, around 2.2% less than the 2716 mAh battery in the iPhone X
1:39
2658 mAh for the new XS. Now, you're probably already aware that Apple hasn't been putting
1:46
the biggest batteries in the world in their devices, not even 3,000 mAh in something that has the footprint of the iPhone X
1:54
But the surprising part here is that in the keynote and on the website, Apple is stating that the new XS will actually outperform the X in battery life, even though
2:05
the official milliamp hour rating is smaller on the new version Now of course this can happen through various software optimizations and so on but to the regular customer watching the keynote you would assume that if they stating an improvement you probably have a larger capacity battery It looks like that
2:22
not the case on the iPhone XS. Now, the iPhone XS Max, it's the largest device that Apple has ever
2:28
made, and because of that, it also has the biggest battery. It's clocking in at 3174
2:34
milliamp hours, which puts it almost 17% larger than the battery on the iPhone X and almost 20
2:42
larger than the battery on the iPhone XS. Last up, we have the iPhone XR, and it has a capacity of
2:48
2,942 milliamp hours, but it's apparently going to have the best battery life overall. This likely
2:55
has to do with how it consumes power with the different display technology from the other
3:01
versions. It of course has an LCD panel where the XS and XS Max are using OLED. All right, so last
3:07
up, let's talk about RAM since it was also disclosed within this document. The two flagship
3:12
models the XS and the XS Max are going to have four gigabytes of RAM whereas the XR the budget version of the next iPhone only has three gigabytes So I felt I had to bring this information to you guys
3:26
I think it's important. I think it will help you make a purchasing decision. And I think it's unfortunate as well that Apple doesn't just state it because it makes
3:34
it seem like a bigger deal than it actually is. I mean, if you just come out and say it, then people can make a choice and they're not going
3:40
to think there's anything special about the details. But by not disclosing it, you make it seem like there's something nefarious at play here
3:48
Like you've got something to hide, essentially. So there you have it. The actual milliamp hour ratings for the new iPhones
3:56
The thing you wanted to know a long time ago. Well, now you know and you can make a choice with the actual data
4:02
And not these weird talk time up to 25 hours. Improvement of 10%, 15%, all day battery life
4:09
I hate the marketing mumbo jumbo. And it's not just Apple that's responsible, by the way
4:15
Seen it in various keynotes. All day battery life. Whose day? My day
4:19
Your day? Have a nice day
