Unveiled insights from the initial dissection of the iPhone Air MagSafe battery: a closer look
The latest smartphones from Apple and Samsung, the iPhone 17 lineup and the Galaxy S25 series, have just hit the market, and one of the key features that stand out is the battery life.
Let's start with the iPhone 17 series. The standard model offers a web surfing duration of 12 hours and 47 minutes, while the Pro and Pro Max versions boast 15 hours and 32 minutes, and 17 hours and 54 minutes respectively.
The new iPhone Air, on the other hand, comes with a MagSafe battery that extends its web surfing duration by approximately 5 hours, taking it to a total of 17 hours and 15 minutes. This is quite impressive, considering the MagSafe battery has a capacity of 12.26Wh, equivalent to 3,149 mAh.
The MagSafe battery, with its unusual shape featuring precise cutouts and lines, is only compatible with the iPhone Air. It's worth noting that the reduced charge level of only 65% in the MagSafe battery pack for the iPhone Air, despite the battery appearing almost identical to the iPhone Air's battery, is likely due to Apple's battery management system. This system limits maximum charging to preserve battery health and longevity, a common practice to avoid stress on the battery caused by full charge cycles.
Moving on to the Galaxy S25 series, the Edge model offers a web surfing duration of 11 hours and 48 minutes. This is slightly less than the iPhone 17 lineup, but still respectable. The Ultra model, however, boasts a web surfing duration of 14 hours and 27 minutes.
In terms of charging, it's important to note that wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging, leading to heat generation. This is something to consider when choosing between the two.
In conclusion, the new iPhone Air with its MagSafe battery offers extended battery life, making it a compelling choice for those who value long battery life in their smartphones. The Galaxy S25 series, on the other hand, offers a solid battery life, with the Edge model falling slightly behind the iPhone 17 lineup, while the Ultra model outperforms all models except the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
