Pros
- Excellent autonomy during the Typical Usage Scenario, with low discharge currents, whether twenty-four hours or nighttime
- Excellent autonomy when testing in calibrated fashion
- Very adept autonomy during on-the-go tests
- Very low rest consumption of both wired and wireless chargers
- Decent wireless charge efficiency
- Very low discharge currents overall
Cons
- Tiresome charging time, whether wired or wireless
- Very low wired charge efficiency
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max reached an splendid global score, surpassing the previous tiptop scorer, the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This significant accomplishment is due mainly to improved autonomy, which is attributable to the xiii Pro Max’s nearly xx% greater battery capacity, forth with additional optimization.
It showed excellent performance during the Typical Usage Scenario, with only ane% lost per night on boilerplate. Outdoors, the device had a very decent autonomy, especially when using demanding GPS navigation. When testing in calibrated mode, the autonomy was above average across all our use cases.
When it came to charging, the modest 20W charger struggled and it took two hours and 11 minutes to make full the 4352 mAh battery. Similarly, the wireless charger took two hours and 41 minutes to fully charge the bombardment, which was longer than average. The residual consumption of both wired and wireless chargers was very depression though.
The discharge currents were also very depression, meaning that the device was well-optimized, whatsoever the use example.
Compared with devices from the same cost range ($800+), the iPhone earned the pinnacle score thanks to its fantabulous autonomy and efficiency. However, its charging score was among the everyman.

How Efficiency score is composed
The DXOMARK ability efficiency score consists of 2 sub-scores, Charge upwardly and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s bombardment chapters. DXOMARK calculate the almanac ability consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in employ.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a total charge, related to how much energy you need to make full the battery compared to the free energy that the battery tin can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the remainder consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the balance consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is asunder from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a exam, which is independent of the bombardment’s chapters. It is the ratio of a battery’southward capacity divided by its autonomy. A pocket-sized-chapters battery could have the same autonomy as a big-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge charge per unit.
