Question mark for continued flight in Apple Watch Ultra 2 low power mode: 12 hours higher than the previous generation, but the test method is different
CTOnews.com, September 16 (Xinhua)-- Apple recently released its Apple Watch Ultra 2 smartwatch, which can be used for up to 72 hours under a low power setting, compared with 60 hours in the previous generation.
CTOnews.com attached Apple's official description of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 battery life as follows: "battery life, measured by days. When you are on the second day of backpacking, Triathlon's final sprint, or diving along a coral reef, does not have to worry about lack of power at all. With Apple Watch Ultra 2, you can meet all kinds of challenges as much as you can."
However, there is a small loophole, testing the normal usage time under low power settings is not the same, so there is an objection to the extension of 12 hours.
Apple officially introduced the Apple Watch Ultra 2 battery life test method in the small print section as follows:
Battery life in low battery mode is measured according to the following usage patterns: viewing time 360 times, receiving notifications 360 times, using App 180 minutes, performing two 60-minute physical training sessions while playing music via Bluetooth Apple Watch.
Apple's official test for the battery life of the original Apple Watch Ultra is as follows:
Multi-day adventurous battery life is based on low-power mode and enables exercise settings to reduce heart rate and GPS readings (which may be due to battery optimization). Apple was tested using the following methods: 15 hours of exercise, more than 600 tests, 35 minutes of App usage, 3 minutes of talk time, and 15 hours of sleep tracking.
Although Apple gives people an intuitive 12-hour promotion in terms of publicity, the two testing methods are not the same, and it is easy to misunderstand.
MacRumors, a foreign technology media, has contacted Apple but has not received a response. The media said that based on the new test method, the original Apple Watch Ultra estimate can also get 72 hours of flight, but it has not yet been confirmed.
