iPhone 11 / Pro / Max battery capacity: size revealed
The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max are here, and while Apple has officially unveiled the devices, the company does not disclose a few interesting details that you might want to know.
For some reason Apple has decided that users should not know about the amount of RAM and the actual battery capacity of its iPhones, and for years, we have had to rely on teardowns and filings with telecom regulators to learn those numbers.
Now, just a couple of days after the launch of the devices, we seem to have this information and Apple has indeed delivered some nice upgrades to RAM and battery sizes. The information comes from prolific leaker @onLeaks.
iPhone 11 (2019) vs iPhone XR (2018)
| Specs | iPhone 11 | iPhone XR |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 4 GB | 3 GB |
| Battery Size | 3,142 mAh (11.91 Wh) | 2,942 mAh |
The iPhone 11, the successor to last year's iPhone XR, has a slightly bigger battery and now comes with 4GB of RAM which will help keep more applications running in the background. Apple officially only says that this new iPhone has 1 hour longer battery life than the XR, so it admits to a slight upgrade.
iPhone 11 Pro (2019) vs iPhone XS (2018)
| Specs | iPhone 11 Pro | iPhone XS |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 6 GB | 4 GB |
| Battery Size | 3079 mAh (11.67 Wh) | 2658 mAh |
One of the bigger upgrades in the iPhone 11, the successor to the iPhone XS, is a significantly bigger battery that elevates its battery life above that of the regular iPhone 11. Regulatory filings also confirm that Apple has included a quite reasonable 6GB of RAM on its smaller Pro iPhone. For years, Apple has been behind the pack in the amount of RAM and it now finally seems to at least catch up with some Android rivals in this regard.
iPhone 11 Pro Max (2019) vs iPhone XS Max (2018)
| Specs | iPhone 11 Pro Max | iPhone XS Max |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 6 GB | 4 GB |
| Battery Size | 3969 mAh (15.04 Wh) | 3174 mAh |
The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the longest lasting iPhone this year. It now features a significantly bigger battery, and Apple's official numbers say that it lasts more than the iPhone 11 and the smaller iPhone 11 Pro. Last year, that was not the case: then, the affordable XR was actually the longest lasting iPhone.
The Pro Max also has 6GB of RAM on board, 50% more than last year's version.
