Now a regulatory listing has appeared showing just how much more capacity those batteries have in comparison with iPhone 15 equivalents.
Appleannounced itsiPhone 16 seriesduring an event on 9 September with the focus of the the four devices being support forApple Intelligence, which is coming later this year. The company also heralded camera improvements and the new Camera Control button, but there was an additional enhancement that largely flew under the radar – battery life.
The specification details on Apple’s own website have never listed battery capacities, and instead detail battery improvements through a quote on how many hours each device will last in terms of playing video. Apple did mention that there were improvements in battery life during the event, but a recent regulatory listing has now confirmed how much of an improvement that is in terms of milliamps.
Having used theiPhone 16 Pro Maxthis week in the run up to its launch, I can say the battery life is in fact very impressive. After taking it off charge at 6am, I regularly reach midnight and still have between 40 and 60% remaining. And that’s after heavy use.
It’s not just the batteries that have improved though, as we mentioned.
The new Camera Control button makes accessing the camera and its tools much easier, while the displays on the Pro models have increased in size from 6.1-inches to 6.3-inches in the standard model, and 6.7-inches to 6.9-inches in the Max.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus get the Action button that was introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro models last year too, so they are a very compelling option this year.
