Consumer group Which? has conducted a series of battery life tests on the latest smartphones, and the news is not good for the iPhone 7. Pitted against the Samsung Galaxy S7, HTC 10 and LG G5, Apple's latest handset came in last place... and by some distance.
...
But whatever efficiency optimization Apple has baked into iOS 10, it seems they are not enough to make up for the measly 1,960mAh battery it decided to put in the case.
Good God!
I like my 6 Plus just fine. No desire to upgrade.
I never buy a phone without a replaceable battery and removable storage.
Iphone 5/6 have such terrible low battery life
we will NOT buy any more iphones until this problem’s fixed
otherwise pretty good little devices, but when your batteries run out in just an hour or two or three, they are NOT reliable for out-of-office (or out-of-home) use
no trips with iphone (at least not without backup batteries and cables and chargers, all take up space and are inconvenient to use)
Guess I will. Not be getting a new iPhone anytime soon.
“The 3,000mAh cell tucked inside the HTC 10 is exactly the same capacity as the Galaxy S7’s and marginally bigger than the LG G5’s, and in my tests I’ve found that it lasts about the same amount of time as those two.”

What you can do?
Brainwashed morons keep on buying overpriced Apple products for vanity.
Like a moth to a flame...metaphorically obsolete. ...

7 plus is a lot better
How is it almost even in Internet but way behind in phone usage?
“Documentation spotted from Chinese regulatory body TENAA reveals that the iPhone 7 has a 1,960 mAh battery, which is slightly bigger than the 1,715 mAh battery in the iPhone 6s. The iPhone 7 Plus has a 2,900 mAh battery, which is bigger than the iPhone 6s Plus’s 2,750 mAh battery as well.”
Does it explode too?
Oh but those Apple worshippers at The Verge think it’s the greatest. And they hate Trump too.
Inefficient chipsets.
Oh, and one thing to note: the iPhone 7 is just 750 x 1334 pixels (barely XGA - or progressive scan HD). The other three phones are all 1440 x 2560 pixels - nearly 4 times the resolution. Better than full HD (not half-HD), or WQHD for computer screens.
So they’re pushing 4X the information to the screen. Four times the GPU and memory moves. And they still win in terms of battery life.
Ping.
I am one of those stupid Apple I Phone buyers. I just trade up every 2 years. The 6 had such better longer lasting battery than the 5. Now I am thinking that I will trade up to a new 6s and stay away from the 7. And I don’t know why I keep buying Apple phones. I am probably dum. I am voting for Trump. Maybe there is hope for me.
That was cruel.
You are correct. I wish I hadn’t upgraded. Everything is better on the IPHONE 6, in my opinion. I still have it. I am going to go in and see if I can somehow give it back.
