How big are iPhone batteries?

Published in iPhone Battery Capacity 2 mins read

iPhone battery sizes, or capacities, vary significantly depending on the specific model. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh). A higher mAh rating generally indicates a larger capacity, which can translate to longer usage time between charges, although actual battery life is also affected by how the phone is used, software optimization, and other factors.

According to the provided reference, the battery capacities for several iPhone models are as follows:

Model Battery Capacity
iPhone 12 mini 2,227 mAh
iPhone 12 Pro 2,815 mAh
iPhone 12 Pro Max 3,687 mAh
iPhone 13 3,227 mAh

Understanding Battery Capacity (mAh)

mAh stands for milliampere-hour. It's a unit used to measure the electrical charge capacity of a battery. Think of it as how much "fuel" the battery can hold. A 1000 mAh battery could theoretically supply 1000 milliamperes of current for one hour, or 500 mA for two hours, and so on. While it's a direct measure of capacity, it doesn't tell the whole story of how long a phone will last, as power consumption varies greatly depending on the task (like browsing, gaming, or standby).

This information provides a snapshot of the battery capacities for these specific iPhone models as listed in the reference.
