Given the battery concerns with the inclusion of 5G, the iPhone 12 series doesn’t come with 120Hz refresh rate that would only increase the consumption even more. And like iPhone 12 Pro Max, the other three models in the 2020 iPhone lineup have smaller capacity batteries compared to their respective predecessors, likely because Apple expects the A14 Bionic to compensate for the lower mAh with improved power efficiency. The iPhone 12 lineup also has a ‘Smart Data Mode’ that automatically switches between 4G and 5G depending on the task.
