Apple has unveiled the next iteration of iOS 12, the iOS 12.3 update, earlier this week. The update brought some major and minor bug fixes and changes.
However, the most compelling question after every major update is about battery life. Has it got worse or it has improved? and the YouTube channel iApple Bytes has decided to find the answer.
Battery drain of iOS 12.3 vs iOS 12.2 update
iApple Bytes used the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s to compare the results of battery drain on iOS 12.3 update and iOS 12.2. The phones were put to test using varying benchmarks using Geekbench 4.
For the unknown, Geekbench 4 is a benchmarking application which employes various processor-intensive tests to find out the battery life.
Geekbench 4 is used to put the device under a constant workload. The benchmark is used to generate a score by analyzing the volume of work the device was able to handle before it ran out of battery.
