CNET released a battery drain test of 32 phones: Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max has the best overall endurance performance

CNET tested 32 phones and found that the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max lost 1% battery in a 45-minute stress test and consumed 6% battery in a 3-hour video test, showing the best overall battery life. iPhone Duo topped the stress test, and Pixel 11 Pro XL ranked third. The test accumulated over 120 hours, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max's victory was due to its larger battery, iOS 27 optimization, and improved energy efficiency of the A20 Pro chip.
