hello. The iPhone 16 series is expected to have an increased battery capacity with the exception of the Plus model. In particular, the iPhone 16 Pro lineup is expected to have a new high-density battery in addition to the increased battery capacity. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the expected battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro.
iPhone 16 Pro Battery Capacity Increases Significantly
iPhone 16 battery capacity changes known so far
Previously known information suggests that the iPhone 16 serieswill have significant changes in battery capacity for each model. Here’s a summary of the battery information we know so far.
- iPhone 16 base: increased from 3349 mAh to 3561 mAh
- iPhone 16 Plus: decreased from 4383 mAh to 4006 mAh
- iPhone 16 Pro: 3274 mAh to 3355 mAh
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: Increased from 4422 mAh to 4676 mAh
While battery capacity is increasing in most models, iPhone 16 Plus models are expected to see significant battery capacity reductions.
What the increased battery capacity means for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup
However, according to a recent report by Instant Digital on Chinese social media site Weibo, the iPhone 16 Pro model will see the biggest bump in battery capacity. Contrary to previously known information, the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro model is expected to see the biggest bump in the series.
- iPhone 16 Pro: 303 mAh increase from 3274 mAh to 3577 mAh (9.25% increase)
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: Increased from 4422 mAh to 4676 mAh
This increase in battery capacity, combined with the power efficiency of the new A18 Pro chipset and the M14 LED display, is expected to significantly increase battery life.
In particular, the iPhone 16 Pro Max model is expected to offer more than 30 hours of battery life, according to Apple’s official website, which is the longest battery life in iPhone history.
Reduced battery capacity on Plus models
On the other hand, the decrease in battery capacity on the Plus model is a somewhat unexpected change.
The reduced battery capacity, despite the fact that the internal design hasn’t changed much, makes me wonder if Apple is trying to emphasize the Pro Max model more.
Conclusion
The increase in battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to provide users with longer usage time, which increases convenience. In particular, the iPhone 16 Pro Max model is expected to offer the longest battery life, so I’m very excited about how the actual battery performance will look with the release of the iPhone 16 series.
