iPhone 16 Pro Max Could Feature The Best Battery Life on Any iPhone, as Apple Plans to Downgrade iPhone 16 Plus

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models will launch with a handful of improvements in terms of design, and as per the latest leak, Apple is tweaking the internal design as well to fit a bigger battery. While all iPhone 16 models are expected to house bigger batteries, the iPhone 16 Plus battery capacity will be slightly smaller than the current iPhone 15 Plus model.

iPhone 16 Plus will be the only model in the lineup to feature a downgraded battery capacity compared to the standard and the 'Pro' models

The news was shared by a leaker on Weibo named Ovo Baby Sauce Ovo, and he does not have any track record to be called credible at this stage. While you should take the news with a grain of salt, the information matches the details shared by Majin Bu recently. Bu claims that all iPhone 16 models will house upgraded battery capacities apart from the iPhone 16 Plus, and the latest leak suggests the same. While the iPhone 15 Plus boasts the best battery life of any iPhone, it appears that the company is planning to bestow the title on its upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max this year.

According to the latest leak, the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will house bigger battery cells compared to the iPhone 15 lineup. However, the iPhone 16 Plus is now expected to feature roughly 10 percent smaller battery capacity, which could be evident in the overall battery life.

• iPhone 16 - 3,561 mAh - 6 percent increase
• iPhone 16 Plus - 4,006 mAh - 9 percent decrease
• iPhone 16 Pro - 3,355 mAh - 2.5 percent increase
• iPhone 15 Pro Max - 4,676 mAh - 5 percent increase

It is unclear at this stage why Apple is opting to reduce the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Plus, as the device features a bigger chassis and an overall bigger footprint. This means that the device has ample space on the inside to keep the battery size the same,
