All mobile phones in the iPhone 16 series may come with larger batteries than previous models. Except iPhone 16 Plus, pointed out a tipster on social network Weibo. Information from the assembly line of the device shows that: The device will have slightly lower capacity than the equivalent model of the previous generation.
While iPhone 15 Plus has a battery with a capacity of 4,383 mAh, The iPhone 16 Plus is supposed to have 4,006 mAh; So the maximum charge should be about 9% less. The difference is very subtle and it is not clear why the capacity of the component is reduced.
According to the information source, the battery capacities of the iPhone 16 will be as follows:
- iPhone 16: 3,561mAh (+6%);
- iPhone 16 Plus: 4,006mAh (-9%);
- iPhone 16 Pro: 3,355mAh (+2.5%)
- iPhone 16 Pro Maximum: 4,676mAh (5%);
While the iPhone 16 Plus’ battery reduction is the most obvious, other changes to Apple’s mobile phone line are even more hidden. The difference in component capability within each model may be a result of rearrangements in internal components and changes in device size.
Optimizations should compensate for this reduction
Since there is a leak, it is not possible to confirm the accuracy of the information. It is also unclear whether the capacity reduction will affect the autonomy of the device, as software optimizations or other components may compensate for this reduction.
As the launch of the iPhone 16 approaches, more information about the handset is expected to appear online. For now, it is not possible to predict how the device will react to component changes and what changes will be made in the new generation.
