TheiPhone 16is not expected to launch until September 2024, but we’re already seeing leaks and details about it. One of these points to the battery capacity of the phones – and it’s not all good news.
Appledoesn’t disclose the battery capacity of its devices in its spec pages, instead quoting the number of hours that you might expect for various tasks. That’s in stark contrast toAndroid phones, where the battery capacity is widely lauded and big is definitely better. But it seems that the iPhone 16 Plus might not get the battery that some expect of it.
According to detailsfrom 91mobiles, the AppleiPhone16 Plus might have a smaller battery capacity than theiPhone 15 Plus. It seems that the new iPhone model might get a 4,006mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 Plus had a 4,383mAh.
The other models – the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are all in line to get higher capacity batteries, according to the leak.
Why might the iPhone 16 Plus have a smaller battery?
The iPhone 15 Plus is a great option: it offers that big display for an immersive iPhone experience without having to pay full whack for theiPhone 15 Pro Max. That is backed up with decent battery life – but will this phone be less attractive if it doesn’t last as long?
Apple could be looking to differentiate between its iPhone models more: currently the iPhone 15 Pro Max claims 29 hours of video playback compared to 26 hours of video playback on the iPhone 15 Plus. Perhaps Apple wants there to be a bigger difference in these 6.7-inch devices?
Or it might be that Apple has increased efficiency, so the battery life is just as long but out of a smaller physical battery. That might mean the other models offer comparatively better performance.

As is always the case with Apple, we won’t actually know until launch day. That’s likely to be in the first couple of weeks of September, when Apple tends to announce the new iPhone models.
