iPhone 16e Turns out 16e has 12% larger battery

[JPack]

If you read Apple marketing materials, they make it sound like the C1 is doing the heavy lifting. It turns out the battery was increased by 12% in capacity (Wh rating) compared to iPhone 16.

For every 1% increase, the video streaming battery life tends to increase by 1.3% to 1.4%. This is similar to what we saw with iPhone 15 to iPhone 16.

I posted this a couple days ago and it got zero reply's 😅, dave2d confirms it has a 3961mAh battery.

 

[KnowsHowItWorks]

THAT’s a welcome update. %)

And the camera sensor rumoured to be different... guess they had to make space somewhere.

And the camera sensor is tiny... guess they had to make space somewhere.

Yeah, I'm surprised Apple did that. It's already missing an entire camera. For $599, they didn't need to delete sensor shift or reduce the number of focus pixels.

Same, if it had a decent camera sensor it's then future proof'd and more appealing... with a single camera and a small sensor, quality is going to be mediocre in todays market.

Very surprising tbh

 

[Azzurro]

the only nice thing about 16e.

Clean back with single camera is also nice. Looks much better IMO.

Its now what you post its who you know. ^^

the only nice thing about 16e.

As well as the lack of dynamic island.

need to wait to C3 they were saying to get real efficiency. But if chip is smaller it technically helps bc larger battery.

The actual battery is 4,005 mAh / 15.556 Wh.

Is it the same sensor on base model 15/16 with sensor shift removed or is it smaller?

Smaller. It’s an iPhone 12 size sensor with 48MP.

oh wow they removed sensor shift as well ? and care to give more details about the pixel focus ? is it not dual pixel pdaf ?

The "innovation" is breathtaking

😐

Maybe the real reason they stopped making iPhone Mini's is they lack the technical chops to make a good one

(thinking about efficiency / battery life in particular, for which the Mini's were rightly ridiculed)

does the 13 pro have 100% focus pixels ?

wow it really is MUCH MUCH worse. 48mp with not the previous generation sensor size, but actually the one before it ?? 1/2.55" for a 48MP sensor is CRAZY small. it's gonna suck

 

[JPack]

does the 13 pro have 100% focus pixels ?

Starting from iPhone 11, the sensor was 100%.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

Smaller. It’s an iPhone 12 size sensor with 48MP.

It's more like iPhone XS size , ridiculous

2.55 has been the case since iPhone XS

 

[zapmymac]

The 13PM camera system was/is still quite capable, it is the reason I have not "needed" to upgrade. Sensor shift ☑️ 100% Focus Pixels ☑️ and 2:3 of good optics ☑️

Dude, it's a budget phone. It's the new iPhone SE. What kind of amazing innovation did you expect on a budget phone lol?

My theory: they tried to fit the largest possible battery in order to wow people and make us believe the C1 is amazingly efficient.

I’m not saying it is not power efficient, but I’m still not convinced with the first in-house modem of Apple, honestly. The cellular module is one of the most important parts of a smartphone and having poor coverage/reception is going to suck. So for now, I remain a bit cautious. I guess it’s going to depend on the country cellular networks.
