iPhone 16 Pro Max Has Longest Ever iPhone Battery Life at 33 Hours

[MacRumors]

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the longest battery life ever offered in an iPhone with a total of 33 hours during video playback, according to Apple.

This is an increase of four hours over the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which offered 29 hours of battery life during video playback. This is an increase of 14%. On the other hand, The iPhone 16 Pro offers a 27-hour battery life, up from 23 hours on the iPhone 15 Pro, for an increase of 17%.

Apple says this increase has been achieved thanks to larger, optimized batteries, a new internal design, and advanced power management in iOS 18. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max also offer the all-new Camera Control button, the A18 Pro chip, and a new 48-megapixel ultra wide camera. They are available for pre-order on Friday and launch on September 20.

Until next year

That’s impressive! Nice updates, but happy with my 15 Pro Max. The new color is nicer than in renders. I’m more impressed with the 16 and 16 Plus.

Long-live the extra battery life! Bravo!

 

[Lionel Messi]

I was debating a Pro Max because I’m tired of the 14 Pro battery. But Pro it is again this year for me.

Has anyone noticed? Apple joyos every single year. Last year they made it lighter, keeping battery life the same as the 14 Pro. Then they increase battery life but it gains weight again. So every year they can market a change.

The reason I got the 13 over the 13 Pro in 2021 was weight, that's the only reason. And I got the 15 Pro because it got lighter again. I'm not buying 200g iPhones.

Did they ever talked about brightness on new Pro? or is it the same panel for third year?

 

[SnakeEater1993]

Impressive very nice, now let's see their measurements...

Seriously. The thing is heavier than ever so of course the battery life will increase.

 

[OMGwtfBBQwings]

any news on the charging speeds? wireless got an upgrade but no mention of wired charging speeds

Same panel on max nit (2000 nit) but can go to 1 nit this year.

 

[adammusic]

Nice !!

 

[mongobongo]

This battery increase is probably my favourite new feature

 

[Kylo83]

I thought we was getting 40w wired charging with the new batt tech, I guess not

 

[sw1tcher]

Had to increase iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max size to accommodate larger battery because iPhone 15 Plus battery was too good and made the Pro and Pro Max look bad.

 

[Apples n' Stone]

This battery increase is probably my favourite new feature

If reviews transpire a significant improvement, it'll be the reason I change... I'll never know if my unit is defective, but my 15 Pro has terrible battery life.

The A18 Pro is 20% more efficient than the A17 Pro, which is a pretty big achievement. It isn't just about battery capacity.

 

[Chomp81]

I'm not sure if Apple Intelligence, 48MP ultra-wide, 5x (instead of 3x, which I love) and USB-C is worth to upgrade the iPhone 14 ProMax to iPhone 16 ProMax...

Very tempted, but it's £650 (with trade-in)... getting the Apple Watch X and an M4 MacBook Pro!

 

[AlexJaye]

Yet they won’t push iPads past 8-10 hours.

 

[Bazza1]

Pro Max with 6.9" screen. That's not a phone, that's the new Mini iPad Mini.

 

[Drogba11]

I am on the iPhone upgrade program so will upgrade even though the upgrades are underwhelming and my battery health is at 90% on my 15 pro Max. I really hope this new battery supports the rumored 40W wired charging.

 

[TheMountainLife]

33 hours yeah ok sure

 

[spaxxedout]

Underrated upgrade is a new anti reflective coating on all the iPhone 16 pro lenses and one of the iPhone 16 lenses. I’m hoping like crazy this is Apple testing out something they can put on the next Vision Pro lenses to mitigate glare.

Yoyo? Apple has more advancements in this new lineup with features pulled from Logic Pro, FCP, Apple Intelligence make the new cameras far more feature rich than the past five updates combined.

You can't manage a product that weighs less than half a pound in your hand as your yardstick says more about you.

There will be a large upgrade cycle even noticeably larger than the 14 series which produced stelkar sales figures.

The Watches and AirPods will be massive increases for sales with sleep apnea and hearing features.

Can't wait for hearing aide markets whining about potentials sales losses thanks to AirPod 4 series lines.

33 hours yeah ok sure

It's not unbelievable. 33h of video streaming with 150nits .
