Nowadays, smartphones have become part of our life, thanks to their ability to support apps that provide solutions to our everyday problems like shopping, banking, communication, entertainment and many more. iPhone parts for repairs are very popular and among the most popular are battery replacements. Since smartphones are portable devices, they must have a strong battery to enable users to enjoy all their useful features.
Since its release in September 2019, iPhone 11 has remained one of the smartphones with the best battery performance (so less risk of needing a replacement new iPhone battery with cost). The series made up of iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have larger batteries that last up to an hour more than their predecessors, like the iPhone XR.
iPhone 11 Battery Estimates
Since Apple does not release the battery capacities for its devices, we only get them from regulatory filings and their supply chain insiders. Below is a breakdown of the batteries in the iPhone 11 series.
- iPhone 11 battery life: iPhone 11 has a 3,110mAh battery, which can last up to 17 hours of video playback, 65 hours of audio playback and 10 hours of streaming video.
- iPhone 11 Pro battery life: This phone comes with a 3,190 battery, meaning it can last longer than the iPhone 11 battery. This battery can last up to 11 hours of video streaming, 18 hours of video playback and up to 65 hours of audio playback.
- iPhone 11 Pro Max battery life: This iPhone model has the best performing battery in the iPhone 11 series. It comes with a 3,500 mAh battery that can last up to 12 hours of video streaming, 20 hours of video playback and up to 80 hours of audio playback.
Charging an iPhone 11
Though the 3 hours charge time is the average charging time for smartphones, there are times when you may want to charge your phone a little bit faster. For example, you may have forgotten to charge the phone in the evening after work and only have a few hours before you leave the house in the morning. Unfortunately, the charger that comes with the phone cannot charge faster than three hours, even if the phone has fast charging support.
The only way you can make good use of the fast charging support is by buying an aftermarket fast charger. These chargers will charge your iPhone 11’s battery up to 50 per cent within the first 30 minutes and up to 80% in an hour.
Luckily, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max users can enjoy fast charging as they both come with an 18W USB-C fast charger.
Factors that Affect Battery Life
Though most tests show that the Phones in the iPhone series can last more than 10 hours when live streaming videos, more than 64 hours for video playback and more than 15 hours for video playback, your iPhone 11’s battery life is dependent on how you use your phone. Additionally, the battery life statistics above will not be permanent because the lithium-ion battery in iPhones will naturally degrade over time. Below are some of the factors that will determine your iPhone 11’s battery life:
- Screen time: Most of your battery’s power is consumed when your phone’s screen is on. This means that listening to music will not use as much battery as watching videos
- GPS: Mapping apps and GPS are some of the most battery-intensive applications in a smartphone. This is because your phone will be communicating with several satellites, plus it will be running multiple tasks simultaneously. For example, your GPS connection, your display and data will be on when using Apples Maps.
- The types of apps you frequently use: Since each app has its energy consumption levels, some apps will drain your iPhone 11 Pro’s battery faster than others. For example, watching a video or listening to music will use less battery than playing a video game. This is because video games require your phone’s processor to work much harder.
- Network coverage: A weak network coverage can have a negative impact on your iPhone’s battery life. For example, your phone may use more battery if you are in a remote area with patchy network coverage, as it will constantly be searching for signal and trying to reconnect.
However, with all factors considered, iPhone 11 models have shown huge improvements in battery life.
Final Word
From the above information, we can confidently agree that the iPhone 11 battery life is as good as advertised. The iPhone 11 Pro Max’s battery is the leader in the series, followed by the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 takes the third position. Though the iPhone 11 has a slightly lower battery capacity, it attracts consumers with its relatively low price. However, if you can afford it, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the best iPhone you can buy in this class. How will the iPhone 11 compare to the iPhone 13? We shall see.
