How Long Does iPhone 13’s Battery Last? 

During the last couple of years, Apple made small steps toward improving the battery life of the previous iPhone generations. However, this year around, the iPhone 13 lineup comes with significant improvements in terms of its battery. With that said, let’s check how long does iPhone 13’s battery last, shall we? 

How Long Does iPhone 13’s Battery Last?

In general, iPhone 13 'Pro' models last 2.5 hours longer than the previous generation. When it comes to the iPhone 13 'standard' and 'Mini,' they now last 1.5 hours longer than the last year’s lineup. 

However, keep in mind that Apple has an unusual strategy when talking about its devices' battery life. Instead of talking about their capacities or giving concrete numbers, Apple typically mentions how many hours of use you can expect. 

With that said, you'll want to check the following table, where you'll find the official information on how many hours of use different iPhone 13 models can provide. 

	Video Playback	Video Playback (Streamed)	Audio Playback
iPhone 13 Mini	Up to 17 hours	Up to 13 hours	Up to 55 hours
iPhone 13	Up to 19 hours	Up to 15 hours	Up to 75 hours
iPhone 13 Pro	Up to 22 hours	Up to 20 hours	Up to 75 hours
iPhone 13 Pro Max	Up to 28 hours	Up to 25 hours	Up to 95 hours

As you can see above, there are significant differences between various iPhone models. For example, if you stick to video playback only, the iPhone 13 Mini will give you 17 hours of use. And then, we have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, giving you 28 hours of service (so, 11 hours extra).
