Another battery test suggests Apple was underselling the iPhone 13 line's battery life improvements.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max managed nearly 10 hours of screen-on time running numerous intensive tasks. That's not completely surprising given the larger battery, but... damn.
More importantly to me, the regular iPhone 13 and 13 Pro models managed around eight hours. You don't need to get Apple's biggest phone to get very, very good battery life. Even the 13 mini outlasted the regular iPhone 12 by half an hour. This is a sea change in battery life expectations for iPhones, from all indications. I still wouldn't update if I had an iPhone 12, but I would be very tempted to upgrade from an 11 if I wasn't happy with the battery life.
