Apple’s latest iPhone 5 series last week has raised much debate not only because of its design and performance but also because of the battery life of each device, especially the iPhone Air. With the increase in users’ reliance on smartphones for everyday work and communication, battery life has become one of the determinants when choosing a particular model.
According to the Technology Technology Media Mobile section, the difference between the battery performance between the IPhone 4 Pro and the iPhone Air is very interesting and can be a good guide to choosing the right model. According to an experiment by experts on the iPhone 5’s battery, the actual performance of these phones is determined in everyday conditions. In this test, all models were constantly web browsing with the 5G Internet and the brightness of page 2, and the results clearly show where each model is compared to the other. The results of this study are remarkable, indicating that the iPhone 6 Pro Max lasts about one and a half times more than the iPhone Air, which means a 5 % superiority in the test.
The weaker performance of the iPhone Air battery was quite predictable as the device was aimed at portable and very low thickness because this type of design naturally limits the size of the battery. In contrast to the larger dimensions of the IPhone 6, the Max has more physical space to install a larger battery, so it can provide a much longer use of one charge.
For users who spend most of their time away from the power outlet, this difference can be a decisive factor in the final choice. Apple’s own estimates for offline video also telling a similar story, with battery life for the iPhone Air 2 hours for the iPhone 5 for about 2 hours for the iPhone 6 Pro, and for the largest model, the ProPhone 4 Pro Max. These numbers are very consistent with the results of the actual tests of experts and confirm that the Pro Max model is the unbiased leader of this family in terms of battery life.
The interesting thing is that the iPhone Air’s battery life looks enough for most people who have regular use and can last a full day with a single charge. But users who have been playing or watching video for a long time are better to choose the Pro Max model, or if they are really interested in the thinner design of the iPhone Air, it will be clever for them.
To solve the same problem, Apple has designed a dedicated megSIF battery pack for the iPhone Air, which has a slim and short design. The bodybuilding of this battery pack by the IFIXIT team reveals some interesting points about Apple’s design choices. The survey showed that the iPhone Air’s Megsif battery pack has a 1.5 -watt battery that is only 1.5mm thick and is so thin that it can fit in its 1.5mm body of the iPhone Air. In fact, Apple seems to have used the same battery cell used by the iPhone Air in the battery pack.
IFIXIT analysts have confirmed that the battery cell in this accessory is quite similar to the original iPhone Air battery in terms of shape and thickness. Apple claims that the battery pack can charge the iPhone Air from zero to 5 %, which looks a bit strange given the same capacity of the two batteries. This is due to the waste of energy in the wireless charging process because a significant portion of the energy is wasted during transmission and makes the full charge impossible.
The battery structure in the pack is protected by plastic but lacks the metal amplifiers on the iPhone. However, Apple has considered the thickness of the plastic to provide sufficient protection, which makes the battery pack slightly thicker than the phone itself. Finally, the bodybuilding of the Megsif battery pack shows that Apple has cleverly reused an existing battery design, but at the same time has accepted restrictions on wireless energy waste. This pack does not convert the iPhone Air to a durable device, but it can be an efficient and beautiful assistant under certain conditions.
