W​ ho’s got the better battery?    I​ t   seems   as   if   with   the   new   release   of   the   ​ iPhone   11​ ,   ​ that   Apple   could   be   able   to   ​ compete   with   their   rival   giants   ​ Samsung​ .   In   my   opinion,   I   think   Apple   has   been   covered   in   light   of   Samsung’s   success   in   the   past   decade.   However,   in   the   past   few   years,   it   seems   as   if   Apple   it   slowly   making   a   ​ comeback   with   regards   to   the   quality   of   their   phones.   ​ One   of   the   major aspects of a phone is the battery.     W​ e   have   to   consider   that   having   a   proper   battery   life   is   mandatory​ .   The   phone   has   to   efficiently   use   a   battery   which   suits   the   owner’s   needs.   Today,   we   will   be   comparing   the   battery   life   of   the   iPhone   11   compared   to   the   glorious   Samsung   Note   10+​ .   ​ The   new   iPhone   11   came   with   some   new   features   which   early   leaks   were   shown   to   be   off,   allowing   for   ​ Apple’s   fans   to   be   expecting   the unexpected.      P​ acked   with   the   new   ​ A13   bionic   processor​ ,   it   packs   20%   more   power   than   its   predecessor,   allowing   for   a   bigger   performance.   To   compare   these   two   battery   lives,   we   need   to   look   at   a   series   of   tests   that   were   made   to   give   us   a   conclusion   about   the   two   phones.   To   kick   start   this   test,   both   phones   will   be   put   forth   to   a   1-hour   phone   call​ .   At   the   end   of   the   phone   call,   the   iPhone   11   ended   up   dropping   by   only   ​ 1%   compared   to   the   Note   10+   by   ​ 5%​ .   Already,   we   can   see   that   the   iPhone   11   is   dominating   in   this   sector.   Moving   on   to   making   emails,   messaging,   and   scrolling   through   social   media,   the   iPhone   11   seems   to   stay   well   ahead.   By   the   end   of   the   16-hour   test,   the   ​ iPhone   has   only   shaved   off   a   7%   total   from   its   battery,   while   the   ​ Note   10+   with   a   15%   drop​ .   W e   can   conclude   that   Apple   is   experiencing   some   success in the development of their phones. Will Samsung try to stay on top?     The future is yet to come...
