That’s up from 2,658 mAh and 3,174 mAh for 2018’s XS and XS Max, respectively.Īpple claims that significant efficiency improvements in the A13 will result in up to four hours' longer battery life than the iPhone XS for the iPhone 11 Pro, and up to five hours longer than the iPhone XS Max for the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Batteries and powerĪpple doesn’t typically disclose battery capacity in its spec sheets to reviewers or the public, but regulatory findings have indicated that the iPhone 11 Pro has a 3,046 mAh battery, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max sports 3,969 mAh. But it is still a (too) big ask to expect users to spend nearly $200 on top of the already high prices of these phones for an elegant personal audio solution. Sorry, USB-C advocates! The phones include Apple’s EarPods Lightning headphones out of the box, but unlike some earlier phones, they do not include 3.5mm headphone jack adapters for use with other headphones.Īpple co-markets the iPhone and AirPods, and it hands over a review unit of AirPods alongside any iPhone review units to any press reviewing the phone, indicating the company really expects users to shell out for AirPods instead of relying on wired headphones for an optimal experience.Īs I’ve written before, AirPods work wonderfully, and once I got used to them it was hard to imagine going back to wired headphones. Lightning and headphones: Yep, still frustratingĪs has been the case for a few years now, these phones have only one port each: Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector. The company also claims the phone’s back has been made more durable compared to prior models, with stronger glass. There was a lot of wild speculation about how much RAM the new iPhones would have, but teardowns and other investigations performed by the community over the past several days have confirmed that both of these new phones have 4GB of RAM, as does the lower-priced iPhone 11 (sans “Pro”).Īpple says the phones have an IP68 water resistance rating and that the phones can handle up to 30 minutes at four meters of depth. While we weren't able to test this consistently in this dense, LTE-troubled part of Los Angeles, others have confirmed the claim.

As a standard, Wi-Fi 6 claims to offer up to 50% faster Wi-Fi speeds, plus lower latency in environments with many wireless devices present at once. Wi-Fi 6 is a very new standard, but its spec has been finalized, so there’s little risk in Apple future-proofing with this even though most consumers don’t have any other Wi-Fi 6 hardware yet. For now, though, it’s largely untapped.Īlso on the subject of wireless, Apple has brought Wi-Fi 6 to the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. But we could see many other applications for this in the future, including iOS 13’s Find My app or multi-user augmented-reality applications. In iOS 13.1, Apple introduced the first use of this chip: the ability to physically point your phone at another iPhone to wirelessly share files via the existing AirDrop service. Further Reading Apple releases iPadOS 13.1, iOS 13.1, and tvOS 13New in the A13 is a new piece of silicon called the U1, an ultra wideband wireless chip intended to give the iPhones spatial awareness of other nearby devices.
