Does the iPhone 13 battery better than the iPhone 12 mini battery?

The iPhone 13 series is chock-full with improvements, from the faster new A15 Bionic processor and brighter displays to new camera features like Cinematic mode for video. But the one thing we were really hoping for was longer battery life, and the iPhone 13 delivers. 

In fact, two out of the four new iPhones are good enough to make our best phone battery life list. Apple doesn't list the capacity of its iPhone batteries, but it says that the batteries for all four new iPhones are larger this time around, and it has made other efficiency gains through its chip, display and software.

Add it all up, and we have very good news. 

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max review: The best phone ever
  • What's different? iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 Pro
  • Plus: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: Is it worth $999?

We run every phone we review through the Tom's Guide battery test, which involves continuous web surfing over 5G cellular at 150 nits of screen brightness. And these are the results compared to the iPhone 12 series.

The regular iPhone 13 saw a fairly big jump in battery life to 10 hours and 33 minutes, compared to just 8:25 for the iPhone 12. The Samsung Galaxy S21 was slightly behind at 9:53. 

The iPhone 13 mini fared better but not by as big a margin. The new mini lasted for 8 hours and 41 minutes, while last year's iPhone 12 mini notched 7:28. Still, we'll take the increase as battery life has been one of the mini's biggest flaws.

Things look even better for the iPhone 13 Pro, which has the same 6.1-inch display as the iPhone 13. The Pro endured for a very impressive 11:41, which is over a 2.5-hour increase over the iPhone 12 Pro. This is one of the longest lasting 5G phones we've tested in the last year. The Galaxy S21 Plus endured for just 9:50.

But the new battery life champ among the new iPhones is the 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max. That flagship lasted an epic 12 hours and 13 minutes. The iPhone 12 Pro Max last year turned in a runtime of 10:53. So if you want the iPhone with the best battery life, this is it. 

By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra lasted 11:25, which is great, and the OnePlus 9 Pro took even longer to drain its battery at 12:48. Of course, battery capacity plays a role in all of this, and we will be updating our results once iPhone 13 teardowns have revealed this info. 

Overall, the iPhone 13 series represents a big step up in battery life, even if the charging is stuck at a relatively modest 20W. 

Impressed? All four iPhone 13 models are now available to buy and we've rounded up the best iPhone 13 deals to help you get the best savings on your new phone.

The Apple iPhone 13 mini first graced the market in September 2021 and belongs to our Premium ($600-$799) segment. Let’s take a look at how it did in our Battery protocol tests.

Pros

  • Extremely efficient device
  • Well-managed night consumption
  • Good wireless charging experience

Cons

  • Poor autonomy overall
  • Low charging efficiency

Thanks largely to a 9.5% increase in battery capacity, the Apple iPhone 13 mini gained 3 points over the older iPhone 12 mini, although neither Apple device comes close to either competitor in the Premium category, the OnePlus 9 and the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (Snapdragon). Battery capacity, tested charger, display type and resolution, and processor specifications for all four devices are shown in the table below.

Autonomy (45)

How long a battery charge lasts depends not only on battery capacity but also on other aspects of the phone’s hardware and software. The DXOMARK Battery autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: (1) Stationary, (2) On the go, and (3) Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

Because of its small battery, the Apple iPhone 13 mini offers only 40 hours 51 minutes of autonomy with moderate use, which is below the average in the premium segment. Its autonomy is slightly better than the iPhone 12 mini’s, but far behind its rivals, which both offer more than 10 hours of moderate use.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power. 

Thanks in part to good night management (losing only 1.5%), the iPhone 13 mini lasted 45 hours 33 minutes during our TUS test. That’s 2 hours better than the 12 mini, but about 12 hours less than the OnePlus and the Samsung.

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outside and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary for each device.

The iPhone 13 mini’s performance in camera and social apps was disappointing. It came in ahead of the 12 mini for GPS and calling, but remained behind the OnePlus and Samsung in almost all tests.

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.

Though slightly better than the 12 mini, the iPhone 13 mini put in a below-average performance in our calibrated tests.

Charging (72)

The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, Full charge and Quick boost. Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long it takes to charge a battery from zero to 80% capacity and from 80 to 100%; and measure how long and how much power the battery takes to go from an indicated 100% to an actual full charge. With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes.

Unsurprisingly, the Apple iPhone 13 mini and its 20W charger could not keep up with the OnePlus (65W) and the Samsung (25W). However, it offers a decent wireless charging experience.

It took the Apple iPhone 13 mini 57 minutes 18 seconds to go from empty to an 80% charge, and 1 hour 54 minutes to achieve a full charge. That’s slightly longer than the 12 mini, which has a smaller battery. The OnePlus 9 and its massive 65W charger takes only 38 minutes 40 seconds to fill its much larger battery.

The iPhone 13 mini took only 1 hour 12 minutes to wirelessly charge up to 80%, while the OnePlus and the Samsung took 1 hour 28 minutes and 1 hour 51 minutes, respectively.

Efficiency (99)

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario testing, outdoor mobility testing, charging evaluation, and power measurements, and then take into consideration the device’s battery capacity.

Thanks to its optimized software and hardware, the two iPhone minis beat both the OnePlus and the Samsung in overall efficiency by a good margin.
