The battery life of all four iPhone models has been leaked by a Chinese person, and the iPhone 16 Plus’s situation does not appear favorable.
Better battery life is anticipated for all iPhone 16 models, with the exception of the iPhone 16 Plus. The Apple leaker Baby Baby Sauce OvO claims that the company may lower its battery capacity to 4006mAh.
With a 4383 mAh battery, the iPhone 15 Plus is often regarded as the best iPhone in terms of battery life. YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss tested the iPhone 15 Plus, and the device lasted an amazing 13 hours. This surpassed the 15 Pro’s nine hours and twenty minutes, the iPhone 15’s base model’s little under ten hours, and the 15 Pro Max’s eleven hours and forty-one minutes.
| iPhone 15 Model | Battery (mAh) | iPhone 16 Model | Battery (mAh) |
| iPhone 15 Plus | 4383 | iPhone 16 Plus | 4006 |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 3290 | iPhone 16 Pro | 3355 |
| iPhone 15 | 3349 | iPhone 16 | 3561 |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 4441 | iPhone 16 Pro Max | 4676 |
However, according to the Chinese leaker, the base iPhone 16 will have a 3561mAh battery, which is a significant upgrade above the 3349mAh battery seen in the iPhone 15. The 4441mAh battery present in the iPhone 15 Pro may be replaced with a 4676mAh unit in the iPhone 16 Pro. Lastly, the 4676mAh battery (up from 4441mAh) in the iPhone 15 Pro Max may eventually be upgraded.
The most recent leak corresponds with a report from tipster Majin Bu dated February 2024. Nevertheless, no information regarding the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s battery life was disclosed in that leak.
The earliest possible release date for the iPhone 16 series is September 2024, but things can change before then. Until Apple makes the formal announcement of the device, it is advisable to treat this leak with caution.
