A new leak suggests mixed news for iPhone users hoping for bigger batteries in the upcoming iPhone 16 Series.
While the standard, Pro, and Pro Max models are all rumored to see capacity increases, the iPhone 16 Plus appears to be doing the opposite with a slight decrease compared to its predecessor.
Here’s a breakdown of the leaked figures:
| Model | iPhone 15 Series (mAh) | iPhone 16 Series (mAh) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3,349 | 3,561 | +6% |
| Plus | 4,383 | 4,006 | -9% |
| Pro | 3,274 | 3,355 | +2.5% |
| Pro Max | 4,422 | 4,676 | +5% |
This leak aligns with a previous rumor hinting at battery bumps for “some” iPhone 16 models. The reasoning behind the Plus model’s smaller battery remains unclear, especially considering it’s expected to share most features with the standard iPhone 16.

Perhaps, Apple might be strategically reducing the Plus model’s battery life to create a starker contrast between the iPhone 16 Plus and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This could nudge customers towards the pricier Pro line with its “premium features” and presumably longer battery life.
Note that this leak comes from a relatively new source, so its accuracy is uncertain. Apple themselves don’t disclose the battery capacities of their devices, so, we’ll have to wait for more corroborating leaks to get a clearer picture.
