Nov. 13, 2020



When Apple launched theiPhone 12 seriesearlier last month, the company, in typical fashion, skimmed on the key technical specifications of the phones. It didn’t reveal the exact battery capacities of any of the four new iPhones. Well, thanks to a new teardown video, we have learned the exact battery capacity and shape of the battery used in the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

According to theteardown videoshared on Chinese microblogging service, Weibo, theiPhone 12 Pro Max has a modest 3,687mAh battery. This is slightly lower than the 3,969mAh battery pack present in its predecessor,iPhone 11 Pro Max. The move is surprising since the iPhone 12 Pro Max demands more power due to5G.

This is not the first time we’re hearing about the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Last month, aTENAA listing of the iPhone 12 Pro Maxhad hinted at the presence of a 3,687mAh battery. The new development essentially corroborates and confirms the previous report.

In addition to the battery capacity of Apple’s flagship phone, the teardown also reveals that the size of the logic board is the same as the one found in iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.The battery, as you can see below, is an L-shaped unit.Image: via Weibo
