The iPhone 12 Pro Max has a smaller battery than the iPhone 11 Pro Max – though it might not really matter.
Apple doesn’t tend to reveal the capacities of the batteries inside its iPhones, so we have to wait for detailed teardowns of the devices to reveal just how big these battery packs are – and now we have a capacity for the iPhone 12 Max. According to a post on Chinese social media picked up by GSMArena, the iPhone 12 Pro Max battery capacity is 3,687mAh. According to Apple, that translates into a maximum of 20 hours of continuous video playback in one go. That’s actually smaller than the 3,969mAh battery that comes packed inside the iPhone 11 Pro Max – though the engineering and efficiency improvements of the device overall should be able to compensate for the drop in capacity.
