New bombshell report details big increase in battery size for one new iPhone 16 model
While other models will also benefit from a bigger battery, it seems that the smaller 16 Pro model will get the biggest upgrade.
Here are the expected changes for both Pro models:
iPhone 15 series | iPhone 16 series | Battery Increase | |
---|---|---|---|
Pro | 3,274mAh | 3,577mAh | +9.2% |
Pro Max | 4,422mAh | 4,676mAh | +5.7% |
The rumored battery size for the iPhone 16 Pro Max was the same in the April report, as in this latest one.
Additionally, both the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are said to use a new stacked battery tech with higher energy density and longer life.
We might finally get a compact iPhone with great battery life!
It’s still too early to know whether we can trust this source and this latest news. We will be keeping an open eye for other reports reacting to this, but if true, this shapes up to be a great year for iPhone battery life.
As for the non-Pro versions – the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus – there is no new info today.
If nothing is changed, here is what previous reports predicted about those models:
iPhone 15 series | iPhone 16 series | Battery Increase | |
---|---|---|---|
regular model | 3,349mAh | 3,561mAh | +6.3% |
Plus model | 4,383mAh | 4,006mAh | -8.6% |
If all of this comes true, Apple might make the gap between the Pro and the regular models much bigger, especially between the Pro Max and Plus models.
