iOS 16.1 battery usage measurement, has the battery life of the iPhone 6 worsened?

Whenever a new iOS operating system version is released, as well as new bugs, will iPhone battery life decline after the upgrade? or even better? It is also a point that many users will worry about. Earlier, the foreign YouTube channel iAppleBytes uploaded a video of the battery life measurement of iPhone 6 models after upgrading to iOS 16.1.

iOS 16.1 battery test, has the iPhone 6’s battery life gotten worse?

Like the previous iOS 16.0.3, the 6 iPhone models used by the iAppleBytes YouTube channel are: iPhone 8, iPhone SE 2020, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. The Pro Max series can also be upgraded with the one generation before and after the upgrade results to be calculated.

First of all, it first showed the battery progress of each iPhone. The iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are all 100%, and the iPhone 8 and iPhone XR are all above 90% Although the iPhone SE 2020 has dropped to 86. %, it is still higher than what Apple recommends to replace 80% of the battery, if the battery health of your iPhone SE 2020 is higher than this, the life of the battery increases slightly:

All 6 iPhones have automatic brightness turned off:

Then use Geekbench’s battery test mode to simulate the actual measurement, and the battery power of the 6 iPhones is 100%:

Unsurprisingly, the iPhone 8 and iPhone SE 2020 were the first to run out of power, delivering 2 hours and 53 minutes of battery life and 3 hours and 29 minutes of battery life:

This is followed by the iPhone XR at 5 hours and 32 minutes, and the iPhone 11 at 5 hours and 46 minutes:

The iPhone 12 lasted 6 hours and 46 minutes, and the iPhone 13 lasted 9 hours and 12 minutes:

For ease of comparison, the following is the test result of iOS 16.0.3, the test method is the same, and these 6 iPhones are also:

  • iPhone 8 went from 2 hours 56 minutes to 2 hours 53 minutes, 3 minutes less

  • iPhone SE 2020 went from 3 hours 32 minutes to 3 hours 29 minutes, 3 minutes less

  • iPhone XR went from 5 hours 28 minutes to 5 hours 32 minutes, 4 minutes more

  • iPhone 11 went from 5 hours 53 minutes to 5 hours 46 minutes, a loss of 7 minutes

  • iPhone 12 went from 7 hours 18 minutes to 6 hours 46 minutes, 32 minutes less

  • iPhone 13 went from 9 hours 19 minutes to 9 hours 12 minutes, 7 minutes less

Overall, most of the 6 iPhone models were not greatly affected, the difference was within 10 minutes, and basically there was no difference in usage, but the iPhone 12 was more noticeable, and I don’t not sure what caused it.

Finally, I would like to remind that although the battery life does not seem to be much different, I am not sure if there will be new bugs in the new version, so those who are not in a hurry can wait a few more days to see and are there any new bugs. After the disaster comes out, it will be decided.
