iPhone 12 Loses Two Hours of Battery Life When On 5G [Report]

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro take a big hit in battery life when using 5G, according to a new report from Tom's Guide.

The site tested the new iPhones by surfing the web continuously at 150nits of screen brightness, launching a new site every 30 seconds.

The regular iPhone 12 lasted just 8 hours and 25 minutes over AT&T's 5G network. Last year's iPhone 11 lasted a whopping 11 hours and 16 minutes over 4G. To compare, we switched the iPhone 12 to 4G-only, and it endured for 10 hours and 23 minutes.

The iPhone 12 Pro fared a bit better, lasting 9 hours and 6 minutes minutes over T-Mobile's 5G network. That runtime jumped to 11:24 over 4G. The iPhone 11 Pro lasted 10:24 over 4G.

These times are behind the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G at 9:31, the OnePlus 8T 5G at 10:49, and the Google Pixel 5 at 9:56.
