what's up guys my name's brandon and just as tradition here on the channel today we're gonna
be doing a big battery life comparison between the 2022 iPhone se, the iPhone 13, the iphone 13 mini,
the iPhone 12, the iphone 11 the iPhone XR, and the iphone se 2nd generation. So the new 2022 iphone
se just recently released with a bigger battery and the a15 bionic chip for improved efficiency
but just how much more battery life does it get compared to the previous generation iphone se
and more importantly can it possibly outlast the iphone 12 or iphone 13. all right so before we
jump into it let's lay out the specs to see what we're working with so over here on the
left is the iphone se3 with a 2018 milliamp hour battery then we have the iphone 13 with a 32
27 milliamp hour battery the 13 mini with a 2406 milliamp hour battery iphone 12 with a 2815
iphone 11 with a 3110 iphone 10r with a 2942 and the iphone se 2 with an 1821 milliamp hour battery
so as you can tell from the battery widgets we're at 100 on all phones all are running on ios 15.4
they're set to 60 brightness and have the exact same settings enabled across the board we also
have 100 battery capacity for all but the iphone 10r which is at 95 percent all right so let's go
ahead and get to it i'm going to be using the iphone 13 pro as the stopwatch phone for this
test and we're going to unplug all phones at the same time and we're going to start off with
some social media some tick tock and instagram for a while and then we'll move on from there
all right so we spent about 30 minutes on tick tock instagram and twitter let's go and check out
what our battery percentage is now on each phone so first up we have the iphone se3 at 97 percent
iphone 13 at 99 percent 13 mini at 98 percent iphone 12 and 99 percent iphone 11 and 94 percent
iphone 10 are at 97 very interesting there and then the iphone se 2 at 89
so pretty interesting to see the iphone 10r beating out the iphone 11 so far but of
course a lot of things can change and they will change so now we're gonna go into our
camera and record about 30 minutes in 4k 60fps from both the rear and the front-facing camera
all right so after recording from both the rear-facing and the front-facing cameras for about
an hour now let's go and check in on our battery percentages so we're going to stop on all phones
and check out what we're at let's go from right to left this time so the iphone se2 is down to 56
iphone 10r at 75 the iphone 11 is down to 72 so these two are a little bit closer now
iphone 12 at 78 13 mini at 68 i also noticed that the uh 13 mini was getting really hot
as well we'll check in on that in a minute iphone 13 at 76 and then the iphone se3 at 71
and i just mentioned the temperature so i want to check in on the temperature of the 13 mini because
it was getting very hot so about 104 degrees and let's compare that to other phones so yeah
everything else is around 100 or under 100 the 13 mini is by far the hottest phone right now so
the iphone 13 is the second closest it looks like everything else looks like it's under 100 degrees
fahrenheit but the 13 mini definitely got the hottest of the bunch and as we know heat is the
biggest enemy of these lithium-ion batteries so that definitely explains why we're down to
68 on the mini all right so now we're gonna do some light gaming with crash bandicoot so we'll
probably do this for 20 30 minutes as well and see what we're at after we play through this game
all right so we just finished up gaming for about 30 minutes let's go ahead and check in on those
battery percentages let's go back to the home screen on all devices so we have 45 67 65 72 60 71
and 63 so the iphone 12 is actually in the lead right now that is very surprising to me especially
over the iphone 13 which is brand new this is the green color so interesting all right so now we're
going to move on to watching a youtube video for about an hour so we're going to go into the
youtube application and all phones and we're gonna watch a 4k youtube video for just about an hour
alright so we've been watching these videos for a while now you can see we almost made it through
this one hour video so let's go ahead and check in on our battery percentages so the iphone
se2 is down to 23 iphone 10r down to 53 big difference already the iphone 11 51
iphone 12 let's get out of this picture picture 60 iphone 13 mini 45 iphone 13 59
and iphone se3 40 now we're gonna move on to some web browsing so we're gonna go to the same site
on all devices we're gonna click on some links go through the actions of basically sending somebody
a text message of an article we just read and just things you typically do in a day-to-day basis on
your iphone i'm going to try to emulate real-world usage while also trying to drain these batteries
and there we go down goes the iphone se 2020 so as expected we all probably expected the sc to
go down first as far as heat goes not too hot it's pretty warm but it's not hot by any means
i definitely think that the iphone 13 mini will be the hottest one of all but we'll see once that one
dies so we'll continue watching these videos and let's check in on the battery percentage
of all the phones now that we have one down so the iphone 10r is down to 37 i actually have the
widget i don't need to do that so we're at 35 46 29 on the 13 mini on the 13 we have 46 and then
on the iphone se3 we're down to 23 and it's gonna be very interesting to see if the iphone se3 can
beat out the iphone 13 mini it's not looking like it right now but we've had battery tests before
where underdogs come back and win the battery test so we'll have to wait and see what happens here
and down goes the iphone se third generation just over five hours in to the battery test so
it seems like the camera really wears on the iphone ses both of them really took
a hit after recording video and checking in on the other iphones we could see here the iphone
13 is at 26 percent 13 mini at six percent 12 at 25 percent iphone 11 at 11 iphone 10r at 14
so it looks like the 13 mini is going to be the next to go unless something crazy happens
and down goes the iphone 13 mini just about 45 minutes after the new 2022
iphone se so the iphone 13 mini that makes all of the small phones eliminated all of the white
phones also eliminated let's go ahead and check out the temperature of this because this thing
was getting so hot this whole test the iphone 13 mini was getting extremely hot so 98 degrees
on the front what do we have 90 95 let's see how that compares so it looks like it's about
the same right now it was really getting hot when we were recording video and playing games
but i guess when watching youtube videos it didn't get as hot as it did during those other tasks so
just one thing i found interesting to keep in mind with the iphone 13 mini it is easily
the phone that got the most warm during this test but just under six hours
pretty impressive for such a small phone and checking in on the other phones we have the iphone
10r at six percent the iphone 11 at four percent the iphone 12 at 17 and the iphone 13
at 18 so these two have just a one percent difference pretty much the entire time so i
cannot wait to see who wins between the iphone 13 and the iphone 12 and keep in mind this iphone 13
is brand new it's the green one i haven't even used it at all and the iphone 12 i've been using
for a year now so pretty impressive that it's you know holding its own against the iphone 13.
and there goes the iphone 11. so around 6 hours and 13 minutes and it lasted just under an hour
more than the iphone se3 so these two are in the similar price range on apple's website right now
to buy brand new the iphone 11 and the iphone ser and the iphone 11 lasted almost an hour longer
in battery life and it has the better design in my opinion oh and not to mention you have two
cameras instead of one so the iphone 11 is looking like a better deal right now
than the iphone se so let's go ahead and take a look at the temperature so about 97 degrees
right there so not too hot but can we take a minute to just appreciate the iphone 10r
i mean this battery life is unreal so let's take a look at what it's at so it's at three
percent right now but the fact that it's out lasting a 2022 phone and the iphone 11
and it's up there with the iphone 12 and 13 right now is just crazy
and finally down goes the iphone 10r but not without a fight lasting around 6 hours and 40
minutes so a 2018 phone and a 2022 battery test still finishing within the top three that is
just so impressive from again one of my favorite phones of all time the iphone 10r let's check out
the temperature it doesn't even feel warm to the touch i mean it feels very cool what do we have
here 91 degrees yeah i mean not bad at all for the iphone 10r and really just speaks volumes
about this phone and the value especially with the price you can get it at here in 2022 i don't
think there's a better phone on the market right now dollar for dollar wise than the iphone 10r so
let's check out what we're at with the iphone 12 and 13. so iphone 12 at seven percent iphone 13 at
10 so looks like the iphone 12 is finally starting to fall a little bit behind the iphone 13 here but
let's see what happens because it's been all over the place throughout this battery test
and down goes the iphone 13
wow so the iphone 13 just went down at around 7 hours and 11 minutes and last standing
is the iphone 12. so let's go ahead and get a temperature read on the brand new green
iphone 13. so around 98 degrees so definitely on the warmer side which would explain why it
may have finished before may have died before the iphone 12 the iphone 12 must not be as hot
and our champion the iphone 12 finishes a few moments later at around seven and a half hours
super impressive super unexpected let's get a temperature read on this so it's definitely
running cooler than the iphone 13 and a lot of the other phones as well which would explain
why this beat out the iphone 13 but that was unexpected super surprised and congrats to all
you iphone 12 owners out there you should be getting pretty good battery life against the
competition alright so let's recap exactly what happened so in seventh place was the iphone se2
with an on-screen time of three hours and 49 minutes and sixth place is the iphone se third
generation which is the one that came out in 2022 this got five hours and 16 minutes 5th place went
to the iphone 13 mini which got 5 hours and 55 minutes iphone 11 got 4th place with 6 hours and
13 minutes and the phone that constantly amazes me the iphone 10r got third place
with 6 hours and 40 minutes and second place was the iphone 13 with 7 hours and 10 minutes
and first place even here in 2022 is the iphone 12 with 7 hours and 31 minutes so you guys have
to let me know down in the comments below is this exactly how you expected it to go
or what were you surprised by i would be very impressed if somebody were to guess the order
correctly at the beginning of the video without cheating so let me know your thoughts down there
in those comments as always i would appreciate if you gave this video a thumbs up i spent over seven
and a half hours recording this and it's going to take another 10 hours to edit so i would really
appreciate if you gave this video a thumbs up for bringing you guys these battery test videos
and also make sure to subscribe to the channel because i will be doing an iphone 14 battery
test video later on this year so definitely stay tuned for that one i'm sure that will be
a doozy as well but anyways guys thanks again for watching i need to go to bed now i'll see you soon
