The iPhone 12 Pro Max is completely destroyed in autonomy tests by rival phones, but also by the model launched last year by the Apple company, the differences being even easy to notice by anyone who uses any of these manufacturers' phone models.
In the test above, the iPhone 12 Pro Max obtains an autonomy of only 7 hours and 16 minutes, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max has an autonomy of 7 hours and 40 minutes, but from here the differences start to grow compared to the Samsung GALAXY Note 20 Ultra, Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and OnePlus 8 Pro.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max has an autonomy that is almost an hour and a half weaker than that of the Samsung GALAXY Note 20 Ultra, or the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, its lower capacity battery, and the larger screen, being the main problems, even compared to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which has a 10% larger battery.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max could disappoint a lot of people when it comes to battery life, especially if it is also used on 5G networks, where it is known that there is a much higher energy consumption than in the case of 4G networks, so Apple could leaves many customers with a bitter taste.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a processor that, in theory, would manage the energy provided by the battery much more efficiently, but it cannot compensate for a lack of a few hundred mAh in terms of the energy available to users who use the phones.
