The other thing too would be the 18 is a NEW phone. Was the test with the 17 done on a NEW phone, or one that has been used for a year? 😉

We always test phones at 100% battery health

Playing a video locally and streaming it are two different things in battery. Of course you will not hit 40 hours, but you will get better numbers

My 17 Pro has 100% battery health, but also has a cycle count of 82 ergo...it's not a new phone, as what was asked by p51d007. Care to try to counter again or do you want to just admit this test was done with phones that are a year apart in age?

Interesting. Just like all of the pointless ass "battery tests" being done by reviewers on YouTube, not a single FaceTime call was performed. Until these battery tests are done with real world performance, they will always be inaccurate.
