Apple Reportedly Boosts iPhone 5s Battery Capacity by 10% and iPhone 5c by 5%
As it was stated at the media event on Tuesday, Apple had increased the battery capacity of the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Due to such improvements, both devices can boast of about 10 hours of talk time on 3G and 10 hours of internet browsing using LTE. As to the standby time, it is now increased to 250 hours. Compared to the iPhone 5 capabilities (8 and 225 hours respectively), the iPhone 5s’ and 5c’s results show that the engineers from Cupertino did a good job.
According to
Apple has not, however, revealed the exact battery capacity for the new iPhones, but AnandTech dug into the FCC documents and discovered that the iPhone 5c carries 5% higher battery capacity than the iPhone 5, while the iPhone 5s carries a 10% larger battery.
Battery has always been the iPhone’s weak point. I hope this drawback was finally fixed in iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
