Our test results show the best reason to get an iPhone 13 might be improved battery life.
Apple wasn’t kidding when it said the iPhone 13 line has better battery life than previous models. In my tests as part of my ongoing iPhone 13 series review, I found that the new phones have significantly better battery life than previous models—and that the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life I’ve ever seen on an iPhone. Our battery test runs a video over Wi-Fi until the phone’s battery runs out. It’s crude, but it can be done relatively automatically and it’s comparable between devices over time. Apple was careful not to promise any specific battery life on the new iPhones. I think that’s because of 5G.
