Apple will continue to optimize the battery life in the iPhone 12 5G

After the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series were shipped, the media quickly released reviews of these models, including network speed and battery life.

The media tests found that although the iPhone 12 series 5G frequency band support is very rich, due to the small battery capacity, the battery life has also been significantly shortened.

For example, when the 5G network is enabled in a real use environment, its battery life is shortened by up to 2 hours compared to the 4G network.

Although Apple has not announced the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro already on sale, the disassembly shows that the capacity of the above models is both 2,815 mAh.

Of course, Apple also knows that the power consumption will increase significantly after enabling the 5G network, so, at the software level, Apple uses the smart data mode to reduce battery consumption.

Apple’s vice president of marketing also responded to the question raised by netizens that the battery life was significantly shortened. Apple does not deny that enabling 5G will significantly shorten battery life.

Apple said that the company’s software optimization in various aspects to ensure the endurance level, for example, the smart data mode will only enable 5G to transmit data at high throughput.

Usually, even if the signal indicator shows that the 5G network is actually used by the iPhone 12, it may be a 4G LTE network, which can significantly reduce battery consumption.

Apple’s vice president of marketing said that the company will continue to cooperate with operators around the world to optimize network infrastructure and increase the overall battery life of the equipment.
