A battery being taken out of an iPhone [Apple]
A new rumor confirms that both models of the iPhone 16 Pro will get bigger batteries, with one model getting a larger increase than the other.
It’s also rumored that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a new metal-encased battery. This could help with better cooling, higher energy density, and an easier way to remove the battery.
A reliable leaker has repeated that the iPhone 16 Pro Max battery will increase from 4,441 mAh to 4,676 mAh. The new rumor is that the other model’s battery will increase from 3,274 mAh to 3,577 mAh — about a 9% boost.
It’s likely, but not guaranteed, that the bigger batteries will make the iPhone 16 Pro last longer. However, if the new A18 chip uses more power than the chip in the iPhone 15 Pro, it could affect battery life.
There haven’t been many rumors about changes to the screen, so it’s unlikely that the screen will have a big impact on battery life.
