When a new version of iOS is released, one of the most common doubts among users is about the battery life. Has it improved? Worse?
Because according to a recent test, iOS 16.3 may have improved the autonomy of iPhone models compatible with the system, compared to previous versions.
Check out some details about the test now.
Reviewing multiple iPhones at once
The iAppleBytes channel has a test methodology that places all models side by side, with the same screen lighting level and with 100% charged battery.
In all of them, an application is used to perform battery tests, called geekbench. At the end, it is possible to see how long each device lasts before turning itself off due to lack of energy.
The following models were tested:
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 11
- iPhone SE 2
- iPhone XR
- iphone 8
With all devices running iOS 16.3, it was possible to evaluate the duration of each one, and the results were the best since last year.

Factors to be taken into account
In every test of this type (ie, amateur) some points need to be taken into account.
First, that batteries wear out naturally as they are used. It is not revealed to us what the battery health of the iphone 8 used, for example, so we don’t know if he lasted less in the test because the others are better or if it’s because he’s already old.
Despite this, there was an improvement in autonomy with iOS 16.3 even in this model. So regardless of battery health, the new system seems to perform better, at least according to this test.
Another factor to be pointed out is that the iPhone 14 was not used. Perhaps because the author wanted to compare autonomy with previous versions, and the iPhone 14 only accepts iOS 16.
