One of the reasons I like using big phones is that they come with big batteries that last a lot longer.
But the new iPhone SE, Apple's 4-inch phone that looks just like the old iPhone 5s, turns that notion upside down. Even though its battery is significantly smaller than the iPhone 6s Plus battery, it lasts longer in several key areas.
I used the iPhone SE for a week instead of my 6s Plus, and found it did in fact have better battery life. Apple's official specs sheet has it lasting longer than the iPhone 6s Plus for most tasks. For me, I was able to get through a full day and then some on a single charge.
As I wrote in my full review of the iPhone SE:
Even though the battery is technically smaller, it outperforms the iPhone 6s in most tests thanks to the smaller screen and power efficiency of iOS 9 and Apple’s latest A9 processor. You no longer need a massive phone with a massive battery to get great battery life. That may be the SE’s single most important achievement.
The iPhone SE is the best value of any smartphone. It can match the 6s and other high-end phones in processing power, but still costs a reasonable $399. But it's the battery life I was most impressed with.
