iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature impressive battery improvements over iPhone 5s

Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will feature welcomed battery improvements over the iPhone 5s. The battery sizes will differ between the two models…

The iPhone 6 will feature up to 50 hours of audio playback, 11 hours of video playback and Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hours of LTE browsing and 3G browsing, 14 hours or 3G talk time, and 10 days of standby time.

The iPhone 6 Plus features a massive 80 hours of audio playback, 14 hours of video playback, 12 hours of Wi-Fi, LTE, and 3G browsing, 24 hours of 3G talk time, and 16 days of standby time.

This is obviously a great improvement over the previous models, but we’ll have to wait and see if the real world numbers add up to Apple’s announcement. See the chart above for more information.

  1. argh, makes it a difficult choice. If it weren’t for the (theoretically) much improved battery life of the Plus, I’d go for the 4.7, if any.

  2. So in other words don’t expect good battery life!! #EpicFail

    Awesome! I’m buying the 4.7″ one, and I’m glad to see there’s been some improvement!

      I’ll be getting the 5.5 myself. I’m heavy into taking photos and videos so a larger screen can’t be bested for me.

    So on standby how long should it take for 1% to go down on the iPhone 6? I’m losing 3% every hour and I have a brand new iPhone 6.
