IPhone 6S and 6S Plus impresses in battery tests – 99mac

tests of Apple’s latest mobile phones have continued over the weekend. Now is the turn of the battery performance, which impresses both iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.

# iPhone 6S and 6S Plus has the weekend gone through a series of battery tests in the test lab. Interestingly enough, the batteries are physically smaller than their predecessors Iphone 6 and 6 Plus, but Apple promises still the same battery life. The IOS is 9 and the new processor A9 is behind the effort.

Samsung and TSMC?

In connection with the launch of Apple’s new phones have surfaced reports of the A9 processesorer manufactured by Samsung may provide up to two hours less battery life than those manufactured TSMC. Apple has denied the information, saying that the difference between the two devices do not differ more than 2-3 per cent, regardless of who manufactured the processor.

Our iPhone 6S has a processor from TSMC and our # iPhone 6S Plus are from Samsung, but since they have different sized batteries can not draw any conclusions from our battery tests.

How we test batteries

99mac start driving two battery tests, one simulates Internet browsing, and the other playing a video until the battery dies. For both tests, we use a skärmkalibrator and an all white image to set the screen brightness to 150 cd / m 2 , about half according to the iOS built-in controls.

Surf test, our developers have developed to simulate surfing. No web pages with Flash is used (and it is not supported by iOS), but Javascript. The phones are using Safari and browse around a number of sites with Wifi and Bluetooth enabled until the battery dies. Background updates and notifications are turned off. The new power saving feature in IOS 9 is not used.

The second battery test focusing instead on play a video until the battery dies. The video in question is the film Tears of Steel in 720p resolution.

iPhone 6S and 6S Plus displays on substantial improvements in the surf test where they give a few extra hours compared to their predecessors. When it comes to video playback is more evenly between the year’s news and its predecessors, but the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus still takes the lead.
