iPhone 11 battery life: Going the distance, but fast charger is extra

The iPhone 11 offers very good endurance. On the Tom's Guide Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over 4G at 150 nits of screen brightness, the iPhone 11's battery lasted an average of 11 hours and 16 minutes. 

By comparison, the Galaxy S10 hit 10:35 and the Galaxy S10 Plus lasted 12:35. The OnePlus 7 Pro was much further behind with just 9:31. The iPhone 11 Pro Max lasted a bit longer than the iPhone 11 with an average time of 11:54, but the smaller iPhone 11 Pro lasted an average of 10:24.

Unfortunately, while you can fast charge the iPhone 11, you don't get a fast charger in the box like you now do with the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Those higher-end phones come with an 18-watt charger. So if you want to juice up to 50% in about 30 minutes, you’ll have to pay $25 for a 18-watt charger plus another $19 for a USB-C to Lightning cable. Boo.
