Apple doesn’t like to advertise exact battery capacities for its iPhones, and so we always have to rely on other sources to get those – regulatory agency certifications, teardowns, that sort of thing. The same has been true for the newly announced iPhone 16 family, but now we finally have the exact numbers courtesy of Brazilian regulator Anatel.
So, the iPhone 16 has a 3,561 mAh battery, up 6.3% from its predecessor‘s. The iPhone 16 Plus has a 4,674 mAh battery, up 6.6%. The iPhone 16 Pro gets a 3,582 mAh battery, up 9.4% from the iPhone 15 Pro‘s, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max boasts a 4,685 mAh cell, up 5.5% from the iPhone 15 Pro Max‘s.
Thus, there’s one clear winner in terms of increase compared to last year’s models, and that’s the iPhone 16 Pro. But that doesn’t mean the other devices don’t have very good battery life – thanks to the A18 and A18 Pro chips used and thermal improvements in the internal design, both the iPhone 16 Pro and the Pro Max have significantly better longevity than their predecessors despite the minor (and different) increases in sheer battery capacity.
Additionally, all the iPhone 16 models support the faster 25W MagSafe charging, provided you buy one of Apple’s new MagSafe chargers to benefit from it. You’ll also need to connect that to a 30W power adapter. The new devices can also charge at up to 45W over USB-C.
The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will become available today across the world.
