Recently, Kexiaobian's iPhone 14 Pro has really lost power faster and faster, going out at 8:30 in the morning, and charging it at 12 noon. Think about when you first got it, you don't have to worry about it in a day, but I didn't expect that less than a year has passed, and Apple's power loss is too fast.
In order to verify that it was not my iPhone problem, Ke Xiaobian specially searched the Internet and found that not only I think so, everyone is the same.
A technology digital blogger complained in Xiaohongshu, "On January 14, I accidentally found that the battery was 98%, and I used 2% in 4 months, I thought it was okay at that time, but what I didn't expect was that the back was like A shares, all the way down, down 1% in less than a week, after upgrading IOS 17 in June, it seems that the electricity fell faster, and it was 87% before the end of June..."
Under this note, there are 1378 comments, and most of the netizens are posting pictures, saying that their iPhone 14 power is getting less and less used, and even less time than old models such as iPhone XS and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
So the iPhone 14 series battery power dropped so quickly, is it simply bad luck, or is it the reason for the mobile phone?
New functions with new systems,
It turned out to be a power-consuming combination punch
Let's first look at the battery capacity of the iPhone 14 series:
- iPhone 14：3279mAh
- iPhone 14 Plus:4325mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro:3200mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro Max:4323mAh
Compared with the iPhone 13 series, there is not much change, and the battery capacity is almost flat.
But the iPhone 14 series has added a new feature: the information screen display, also called all-weather display. Simply put, this feature shows the time and other widgets on the desktop when your phone is locked.
Although Apple has used a lot of technology to optimize power consumption, maintaining the power consumption of the home screen and lock screen functions at about 4%, the screen is always on, which will continue to consume power and have a certain impact on the battery.
Ke Xiaobian also observed that since the IOS system update 16.5.1, the number of posts complaining about the power consumption of the new system has increased rapidly.
Within a few days after the iPhone upgrades the system, it will be optimized according to the user's usage habits, and a certain amount of power consumption will be added during the optimization process, and it will return to normal after the configuration optimization is completed.
But there are still many users who reported that after the mobile phone update, "the power fell quickly", "the mobile phone was hot", the mobile phone had 34% of the power before going to bed, and the battery ran out when waking up...
Software is also the hardest hit area for "stealing electricity"
In addition to the hardware and system functions of the mobile phone itself, software is also the hardest hit area of "stealing electricity".
Ke Xiaobian counted colleagues who used iPhone 14, and everyone voted for the "most power-consuming APP" to: WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Weibo...
Among them, WeChat is the largest power consumer.
From the perspective of APP battery consumption, WeChat's one-day power consumption accounts for about 40%, which is equivalent to more than one-third of the electricity a day, all of which are used by WeChat.
Secondly, Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Weibo, which we often brush, also consume about 20% of their electricity.
This kind of APP consumes power when occupying the screen, and it will frequently start itself in the background when not in use, for example, if someone sends you a message, it will actively pop up a prompt;
There is also the "automatic download" function, when we use the pictures, videos and files generated by the APP, they will be automatically downloaded and cached by default, and the whole process will consume power, data and memory.
In addition, some apps themselves do not consume much power, but they have obtained permission to run in the background, and they will occupy the background when not in use. At the same time, the software's location services and background refresh will continue to consume power.
It costs 748 yuan to change a piece, so it's better to wait for a new model
The battery drops quickly, charging slowly, and such a mobile phone is not convenient to use. At this time, there are generally two choices, either change now or make do with it.
Starting from March 1, 2023, the price of battery replacement for models before iPhone 14 has increased, but the iPhone 14 is still 748 yuan.
748 yuan is not a small amount, fortunately, Apple has also said that the battery health value is less than 80% within one year, and the battery can be replaced for free.
It is reported that Apple's iPhone 15 series is likely to switch to a USB-C interface, and this is precisely because the European Union requires a unified charging interface.
At present, Apple's fast charging power is 20W, and when the mobile phone power reaches 80%, it will no longer carry out fast charging, but enter the "trickle charging" mode to prevent high-speed charging temperature or voltage from damaging the battery.
In contrast, domestic mobile phones have rolled out 240W flash charging technology, does this interface change mean that the iPhone 15 has a chance of overcharging?
If it's really overcharged, when the iPhone 15 series is released, it won't be nice to replace the old one with a new one.
