A Bigger Battery

Your iPhone is only as good as the battery inside. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn’t have the largest battery on the market. 

We’re hoping that Apple will finally change that and increase the physical battery of the iPhone 16 models. If the rumors are right, we might see that, albeit it will be a small change.

Apple doesn’t like to discuss the size of its products’ batteries, but rumors suggest some iPhone 16 models could see an increase of up to 6% in battery capacity.

For instance, the iPhone 15 has a 3,349 mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 could potentially feature a 3,561 mAh battery. Likewise, the iPhone 16 Pro is said to feature a 3,355 mAh battery, a small increase from the 3,274 mAh battery on the iPhone 15 Pro. 

Last but not least, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will also increase its battery from 4,422 mAh to 4,676 mAh.

But what about the iPhone 16 Plus? Well, unfortunately, rumor has it that Apple will actually decrease the battery size this time around. While the iPhone 15 Plus has a 4,383 mAh battery, the iPhone 16 Plus could feature a 4,006 mAh battery, which would be a decrease of 9%.

Still, it’s best to take early battery size rumors with a grain of salt. For example, a report last summer predicted iPhone 15 batteries would all increase by 12-18% while the real numbers turned out to be only 1.3–2.3%.
