iPhone 6S battery has shrunk! What about battery life?

At the press conference, Apple did not announce the memory and battery capacity of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The memory of the phone is basically confirmed to be 2GB. Although the memory has been upgraded from 1GB to 2GB, the battery seems to have shrunk compared to the previous generation.

This may confuse many users, because the body size of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has become slightly larger and thicker, and the thickness of iPhone 6s has increased to 7.18mm, which is a little thicker than the 6.9mm of iPhone 6. According to normal logic, if the phone becomes thicker, it should give more space to the battery, so how come the battery space is squeezed?

The thickness of a mobile phone is not necessarily related to the battery, but can also be related to other technologies. The iPhone 6s uses the 3D Touch function. To realize this function, Apple needs to add more components, which eventually increases the thickness.

As early as the beginning of August, foreign media exposed the battery spy photos of iPhone 6s, showing that its capacity is only 1715mAh, which is smaller than the 1810mAh of iPhone 6.

Now, a sharp-eyed netizen has found the battery capacity of iPhone 6s through the screenshot of Apple's press conference. After zooming in on the video screenshot, the netizen found that the battery capacity of iPhone 6s is indeed 1715mAh, which is 95mAh lower than that of iPhone 6.

In addition, the packaging box leaked in the country also shows that the battery capacity of iPhone 6s is 1715mAh.

Well, all the evidence points to 1715mAh, so you may start to worry about whether the battery life will be affected. We believe that when Apple designed the 1715mAh battery, it should have also thought about the battery life. Apple is a company that focuses on user experience. If a mobile phone runs out of power and shuts down after a few uses, what user experience can we talk about? Apple will not take such a risk.

When you see the 1715mAh battery, please don’t worry or get angry. The battery life of the iPhone 6s is the same as the previous generation, although it has 95mAh less capacity.

From the chart we can see that the battery life of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 is the same whether on 3G, Wi-Fi or LTE networks, with 3G talk time of 14 hours. The battery life of iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 6 Plus is also the same.

Apple dares to equip the iPhone 6s with only a 1715mAh battery, which shows that Apple is very confident in its own iOS 9 and A9 chip.

Apple iOS 9 has added a low power mode, which Android users should be very familiar with. Apple said that iOS 9 can extend the standby time of iPhone devices by one hour compared to previous iPhones, and when the "Low Power Mode" mode is turned on, the system battery life can be extended by three hours. When the low power mode is turned on, emails on iOS 9 will not be automatically updated and pushed, background automatic refresh and download of applications will also be disabled, system animations and brightness will be reduced, and network speed may also be affected.

Apple's A9 is also a low-power chip that can extend battery life. Starting with the A7 processor in the iPhone 5s, Apple began to equip its processors with low-power coprocessors. In the iPhone 6s, Apple equipped the A9 processor with a lower power consumption and a 14nm process, so it consumes less energy and helps extend the battery life of the phone.
