On the YouTube channel The Tech Chap, a video appeared comparing the autonomy of 13 current flagship smartphones, including models of the iPhone 16 series. Apple's innovations had to compete with Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and other “heavyweights” in tests simulating real everyday use.
In total, 13 smartphones, listed below, took part in the testing. Test conditions included setting the display brightness to 150 nits and the refresh rate to “auto”; (if such an option is available) and connecting to a Wi-Fi network. The YouTube client, camera program, games, and other software were launched sequentially on all devices. Battery life was measured from the start of the test with a fully charged battery until the device was turned off. As a result, “subjects” lasted the following amount of time:
