Maybe the variable refresh rate helps as well?
Yeah surely this measurement is for 30Hz video.
( I had to look it up, the first silent films were 14-26fps cranked by hand. The first talkies mechanically linked the projector to the phonograph at 24fps)
Those numbers are meaningless if we don't have the benchmark specification. And Apple really love to throw numbers like this with no context (but hey, it work, so why stop).
Testing conducted by Apple in August 2021 using preproduction iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max units and software, subscribed to LTE and 5G carrier networks. Video playback consisted of a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store, tested with stereo audio output. Video playback (streamed) consisted of a repeated 3-hour 1-minute HDR movie purchased from the iTunes Store, tested with stereo audio output. All settings were default except: Bluetooth was paired with headphones; Wi-Fi was associated with a network; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks, Auto-Brightness, and True Tone were turned off.

I mean, TikTok is currently the most popular social media app in the world...
This is up there with the insane battery life of the M1-based MBPs There's no reason to carry a charger from the time you wake up until you go to bed ... unless you're doing something very "heavy"
I wouldn't be surprised if these results are on airplane mode with the brightness locked to the lowest setting and the volume off with no Bluetooth accessories. The title says "video streaming battery life" however the website actually says "video playback."
If I'm navigating with Apple Maps, which is using GPS (and other sensors depending on your transportation mode), along with a higher screen brightness so I can see in the daylight, I'm not going to get anywhere near 28 hours. And I wouldn't call that a _very_ "heavy" use case.
