Apple promised this year that the iPhone 16 series would have a larger capacity battery However, Apple did not tell us how large the battery actually is In fact, Apple did not list this important spec

Thankfully, new regulatory information from Brazilian regulator Anatel (via Blog de iPhone) has revealed all the details

As you can see, most iPhone 16s have increased battery capacity by about 6% compared to last year The only exception is the iPhone 16 Pro, which has an additional 94% reserve power Considering that in our tests, the iPhone 15 Pro had the worst battery life of the 2023 iPhones, this capacity increase is definitely welcome

Of course, battery size is not the only thing affecting the iPhone 16 Pro's battery life; the A18 and A18 Pro chips are designed to be more efficient than their predecessors, meaning that the battery will consume more energy

It is also claimed that iOS 18 has improved the battery life of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which, if true, suggests that Apple's latest software plays an important role While we have not conducted our own testing to confirm this, it is a combination of these factors that allowed the iPhone 16 Pro Max to achieve an impressive 18 hours of battery life on a single charge

The iPhone 16s is now available worldwide, and you can enjoy this improved battery life for yourself And no doubt, these battery capacities will be confirmed once the first teardowns of the phone begin to appear online and we get a better look at the actual battery inside the phone
