Apple does not usually share the exact battery sizes of its iPhones. However, this time, the battery capacities for this series have been made public through a report from the Brazilian regulator Anatel. This information gives a better idea of how much battery power each model of the iPhone 16 has and what improvements have been made compared to previous models.
Battery Sizes for iPhone 16 Models
Let’s take a look at the exact battery sizes for each iPhone 16 model:
- iPhone 16: 3,561 mAh, which is 6.3% more battery capacity than the iPhone 15.
- iPhone 16 Plus: 4,674 mAh, a 6.6% increase from the iPhone 15 Plus.
- iPhone 16 Pro: 3,582 mAh, showing the highest jump with a 9.4% increase over the iPhone 15 Pro.
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,685 mAh, which is 5.5% more than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The biggest improvement in terms of battery size comes from the iPhone 16 Pro, which gets a significant 9.4% boost in battery capacity. Even though the changes in battery size may not seem huge, they will still make a noticeable difference in how long these phones last on a single charge.
Better Battery Life Thanks to New Chips
One of the reasons why these phones will have better battery life isn’t just the bigger batteries. The new A18 and A18 Pro chips that Apple has included in the iPhone 16 series make the phones more efficient. These chips are designed to use less power, meaning the phones can last longer even with the same or slightly larger batteries.
Additionally, the internal design of the iPhones has been improved, especially with thermal management. This means that the phones don’t heat up as much during use, which also helps the battery last longer. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to have much better battery life than their previous versions.
Faster Charging Options
Charging has also been upgraded for the this series. All models now support 25W MagSafe charging. To use this faster wireless charging feature, you need Apple’s new MagSafe charger and a 30W power adapter. If you prefer wired charging, you’ll be happy to know that this series can now charge up to 45W through a USB-C cable. This means the phones will charge faster than before, making it more convenient for users who need quick top-ups.
Faster charging is especially important for those who are always on the go and don’t have time to wait for their phone to charge fully. Whether you use MagSafe or a USB-C cable, you’ll be able to charge your iPhone quickly and get back to using it.
Availability of the iPhone 16 Series
All models of the iPhone 16 series, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, are now available for purchase worldwide. You can buy these phones from Apple stores or online retailers, and they come with all the new battery and charging improvements mentioned above.
