Controversial Apple new design of the iPhone 11 already takes flak (despite recent improvements), but current models of society have faced a much more immediate problem. & nbsp;
In a shocking new report, a highly esteemed consumer advocacy group in the UK Which? (equivalent to Consumer Reports in the United States) discovered that Apple significantly overestimates the battery life of its iPhones.
"Which has tested nine iPhone models and found that not all of them meet Apple's battery requirements." In fact, Apple said its batteries lasted between 18 and 51 percent longer than the batteries Which "results," said Which? in a report.
The biggest difference was in the talk time. For example, Apple claims that the iPhone XR provides up to 25 hours of talk time, but in which tests performed by which? it only lasted 16 hours and 32 minutes. Moreover, this gap was limited to Apple. Which? In total, 50 models of five brands (Apple, HTC, Nokia, Samsung and Sony) were tested. Only HTC has fallen short of its claims (by 5%), while the others have outperformed the claims of their manufacturer, Sony standing out 21%.
"Mobile phones are now an essential part of everyday life, so we should be able to rely on our phones to live up to the demands of the manufacturer," said Natalie Hitchins, Home Products and Services Manager, to whom? " There are clearly questions about the lifespan of some cell phone batteries, so it's important to make sure you find an independent source of reliable information when you purchase your next phone. "

I fix it
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple was quick to fight, but it did so in a strange way. Talk to Internal businessApple said:
"We are rigorously testing our products and defending our claims for battery life. Through tight integration between hardware and software, the iPhone is designed to intelligently manage power consumption to maximize battery life. Our test methodology reflects this intelligence. Which? have not shared their methodology with us, so we can not compare their results to ours. We share our test methodology that we publish in detail right here. "
But which one? publishes its methodology and it is very simple: "Completing its tests Which? Fully charge new phones purchased independently with a full battery and multiplying by their lifetime when they make calls continuously. "Inversely, the description of its methodology by Apple is vague:
"Tests conducted by Apple in August 2018 with iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR pre-production units and software, on GSM and CDMA operator networks. The talk time tests were performed on a Voice over LTE (VoLTE) network. All parameters were set by default, except that: Bluetooth was associated with headphones; Wi-Fi was associated with a network; the Wi-Fi Request to Join Networks feature has been disabled. "
Yes, there are a lot of technical details here, but are these real world networks representative of the typical user experience or in a test lab? Does it mean continuous calls or a series of calls? Given We have been here before, I asked Apple to provide more information.
Until then, customers should be wary. According to Apple's defense, I would say that talk time is becoming less important in the age of instant messaging, but that does not mean that the numbers should be so low. If you call a lot, I suggest you keep the fire going until everything is settled.
And more specifically, maybe lousy iPhone 11 (and his crazy cameras) is worth the wait after all.
