Apple launched the iPhone 16 series earlier this month, with the company touting improved battery life for the latest phones. While the company doesn’t typically reveal the amount of RAM or battery capacity of its smartphones, these details inevitably surface after the devices are released. Brazilian regulators have now revealed battery details for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, suggesting that Apple has equipped all four models with slightly larger batteries.
iPhone 16 series battery capacity exposed
Blog do iPhone reports that the iPhone 16 series has been certified by the Brazilian agency Anatel on September 9. That same day, Apple unveiled the new smartphones at its “It’s Glowtime” event. According to the publication, Brazil’s telecommunications regulator listed the battery capacities of the new iPhone 16 models. Gadgets 360 was able to verify that Anatel had provided the certification.
According to information provided by the regulator, Apple has equipped the new iPhone 16 models with slightly larger batteries than the previous models, and even the iPhone 16 Plus models are equipped with larger batteries, which is contrary to previous reports. You can refer to the table below to see the increase in battery capacity of all models in the iPhone 16 series.
It looks like three-quarters of the iPhone 16 lineup have batteries that are about 6% larger than the iPhone 15. However, the iPhone 16 Pro models have batteries that are more than 9% larger than last year’s Pro models.
The increase in battery capacity, the new A18 and A18 Pro chips, and new thermal optimizations for the iPhone 16 series are expected to provide longer battery life than last year’s models. However, the company only measures the battery performance of its smartphones in terms of video and audio playback.
According to Apple, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer an extra two hours and one hour of usage, respectively. Similarly, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are said to offer four more hours of video playback time than their predecessors.
