How come a 1900mAh Li-Ion Battery (iPhone 6) can handle about 20% more workload than a 2400mAh Li-Ion (Classic)?

1. Is the iOS more efficiently integrated with the 3rd party apps than BB10?

2. Does the BlackBerry actually index or process more?

3. Is Apple buying more efficient battery cells?

4.....
5........
6.............



I love my BB10 device, migrated from long time Windows-to-iOS-to-Android changee to BlackBerry Passport- then Classic-user.

I'd say that hardware matters a lot when it comes to this so starting to look at operating system differences will not give you the entire picture.

An interesting discussion topic. I would like to know the reason of this as well. But I think answer is that ios is an better optimized os. Os10 is relatively new. After every update the optimization will be better

I am aware there's an old article explaining how iOS handles multi-tasking: nothing runs in the background except for GPS and VoIP apps. BB10 probably has more stuff running.

This is not entirely true. Apps do wakeup in the background too in Android and iOS despite screen is off. It's usually an app that is continuously executing that is prevented but it is also possible to override this.

Thank you for the correction, I greatly oversimplified. Here is the article I referred to:

No doubt things have changed a fair bit in 4 years, even on iOS.

What apps are you using?

Only iOS apps from Apple, and only BB10 apps from BlackBerry?


How do you compare the workload?



My Z30 and Passport outperforms iPhone 6 every day on normal use, which leads me to think that you might have some 3rd party apps on the BlackBerry that's not behaving too well, or perhaps even running Android apps?

[FlorinTi]

I wiped three days ago my BlackBerry Classic and didn't install any 3rd party apps at all. The graphic shows my today's drainage with cb 10 app as the sole installed 3rd party.

I use:
Embedded Evernote app
Remember
4x email accounts with aprox. 50 mails in/out per day
Whatsapp and BBM
Light text browsing
4G&3G preferred
Text reading and editing with docs to go and adobe reader
No onedrive sync
No dropbox or box sync
550 merged contacts

Same usage with iPhone 6 but with installed evernote app etc.

Maybe it's the actual battery cell....

2 reasons.

Apple can get very latest chips = probably 20nm process = more efficient.

BlackBerry if you run android app or even apps from BlackBerry world not built for BlackBerry then your running extra software layer = less efficient.

Show us the past 48 hours or so. And the cpu graph

3rd reason is the iOS apps do less in the background in general.

One thing I forgot to ask is, do you experience that it the battery drains unusually high when you are not using the phone or when you are using the phone. Can you describe when and how you are using your phone according to the graph.

Need to see the items under the graph too. Is PIM one of the higher ones?

I will try to make a time-line tomorrow of exact times when I use bluetooth in car, reading, text editing and calling.

I usually have the reflex to switch the display off after I quick-respond to text or end a call. My display is set at 50% brightness.

Does the Iphone run the digitizer when the screen is blanked?

[TrueKulcha]

System usage is unusually high there. At least compared to what I usually see on Z30 or passport. Only device that showed anything close to that was a water damaged Z30.

I can return it... it's just 9x days old

[FlorinTi]

Maybe it is the Li-Ion cell...

This is very typical of what I see.

Apple designs it's own SoCs to work efficiently with it's OS, and they do focus on power usage. Blackberry uses off the shelf SoCs. Not sure if this is the reason, but it seems like it should have some effect.

Sounds more like the reason they give.

The iOS is very efficient when idle. Like really, efficient. Almost no noticeable decrease of battery juice, if the phone is not used, while the BlackBerry 10 devices still use around. 0.5 - 1 % battery per hour when they're idle. I really wish that they can improve it with the next OS update!
