When Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 lineup, it talked up major battery gains. But a side-by-side test suggests the story is more nuanced.
Popular tech creator Arun Maini, better known as Mrwhosetheboss, lined up every iPhone 17 model and ran them through what he described as a realistic day of use to determine which model actually lasts the longest and whether Apple’s bold promises hold up.
The experiment compared the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the new Air model against the iPhone 16, 16 Pro Max, and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra.
All phones were charged to 100%, updated to the latest software, and used in a controlled 16°C room. The usage simulated a normal day: watching YouTube, scrolling through Instagram and X, messaging on Slack, streaming music, and recording 4K video at 60 fps. Devices were kept side by side to ensure consistency.
