I saw the iPhone Pro and Pro Max have a battery life thread.

I think the base 16 model deserves it's own thread - the battery life on this thing is outstanding!

With normal usage for me during the week (average screen time - 2h 38m), I am just about able to squeeze 3 days out of my iPhone 16. I've never had a phone that lasts anywhere near this long.

In contrast my previous phone (12 mini) was dead at 6-7pm (on the day of charging) with similar usage. Not a fair comparison of course (it's a small phone and the battery was at 82% capacity), but it was my previous phone, so it's fresh in my mind.

Anyone else amazed by the iPhone 16 battery life?

Definitely best battery life yet on an iPhone I have had
