With Apple‘s annual September launch event approaching, rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 lineup continue to swirl. Today, a leak originating from China (via GSMArena) sheds light on the battery capacities of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models.
According to the leak, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to pack a 3,577mAh battery, representing a modest 9% increase over the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3,274mAh cell. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, might see a slightly smaller bump of 5%, going from the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 4,441mAh to 4,676mAh.
While these increases are hardly revolutionary, they do suggest Apple’s continued focus on battery life improvement. Even these minor capacity expansions, coupled with efficiency gains in the chipset and display technology, could translate to longer on-the-go use for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max users.
The Pro iPhone 16 models are also rumored to get a charging upgrade this year. Both models are expected to support 40W wired charging, an increase from the current 27W limit. Wireless charging speeds might also improve, rising from 15W to 20W with MagSafe.
It’s important to remember that these are simply leaks, and Apple hasn’t confirmed any details about the iPhone 16 lineup. However, given the consistent track record of some leak sources, there’s a chance this information could be accurate.
If these leaks hold any weight, iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max users might see marginally better battery life and a more streamlined charging experience.
However, with some Android flagships already offering significantly larger batteries and even faster charging solutions, Apple’s improvements might not be enough to completely close the gap. We’ll have to wait for the official unveiling in September to get a clearer picture of what Apple has in store for its flagship iPhones.
