Description:
The iPhone 16 Pro Max could be a battery life champ, but the iPhone 16 Plus 
might disappoint.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

In recent years Apple has delivered great battery life on its biggest phones, 
but while the iPhone 16 Pro Max might continue that trend, the iPhone 16 Plus 
possibly wont. 

Thats based on leaked battery capacities from OvO Baby Sauce OvO on Weibo 
(via Phone Arena ), who claimed that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will apparently 
have a 4,676mAh battery, which would make it 5.7% larger than the 4,422mAh 
cell inside the iPhone 15 Pro Max . Now, thats not a massive increase, but 
given that the iPhone 15 Pro Max already offers very solid longevity, and 
that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will likely have a more efficient A18 Pro chipset, 
this is a promising sign. 

The upcoming handset is rumored to have a slightly larger 6.9-inch screen, so 
which could drain the battery faster, but we still think its longevity would 
be equal to or better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, if this leak proves 
accurate. From bigger to smaller 

However, the iPhone 16 Plus is listed as having just a 4,006mAh battery, 
which would be 8.6% smaller than the 4,383mAh power pack within the iPhone 15 
Plus . That would be a real shame, as in our iPhone 15 Plus review we 
described it as delivering the best battery life on the market. So an 8.6% 
reduction could dilute one of its predecessors biggest highlights. 

We also have leaked capacities for the other two iPhone 16 models, with the 
iPhone 16 itself said to have a 3,561mAh battery  up 5.8% from the iPhone 15 
s 3,367mAh cell. That would make this model the biggest winner, in terms of 
growth. 

Finally, the iPhone 16 Pro apparently has a 3,355mAh battery, which is up 
just 2% from the 3,290mAh iPhone 15 Pro. Still an increase then, but with 
this phone rumored to have a larger screen than its predecessor  or than the 
standard iPhone 16, which is said to have a bigger battery than this  its not 
as much of an increase as wed like to see. 

We would, as ever, take these claims with a pinch of salt, even though they 
largely echo an earlier iPhone 16 battery leak ; the only difference being 
that the iPhone 16 Pro wasnt mentioned in that previous leak. 

So, with two sources now pointing to most of these battery capacities and no 
conflicting claims, theres a fair chance these figures are accurate. In which 
case, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max could be in for some tangible 
battery life improvements, while the iPhone 16 Pro might offer similar life 
to the current model, albeit with a slightly bigger battery. Meanwhile, the 
iPhone 16 Plus could disappoint. 

We should find out for sure in September, as that's when these four highly 
anticipated phones will likely launch. You might also like An iPhone 16 Pro
