iPhone 16 Battery Capacities (Compared to iPhone 15)

Here’s a quick rundown of the battery capacities for each model, and how they compare to last year’s iPhone 15 lineup:

• iPhone 16 – 3561mAh (up 6.33% from iPhone 15 at 3349mAh)
• iPhone 16 Plus – 4674mAh (up 6.64% from iPhone 15 Plus at 4383mAh)

These increases in battery capacity, while subtle, are sure to give iPhone users a bit more juice throughout the day. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or just browsing, the bigger batteries should offer some nice improvements in battery life across the board.

Faster Charging, Too!

But that’s not all—Apple has also boosted charging speeds for the iPhone 16 lineup. With the new MagSafe Charger and a 30W power adapter, you can now wirelessly charge your iPhone 16 at 25W, up from 15W in previous generations. This means faster wireless charging times, which is a welcome upgrade.

For those who prefer wired charging, the iPhone 16 lineup may also support up to 45W fast charging with a 45W power adapter, giving you even quicker top-ups when you need them most.

What Does This Mean for You?

The combination of slightly larger batteries and faster charging means the iPhone 16 models are better equipped to keep up with your daily needs. Whether you’re upgrading from an older model or considering making the jump from the iPhone 15, these improvements in battery life and charging speed could make a noticeable difference in your day-to-day experience.

Ready for Launch Day?

The iPhone 16 lineup officially launches tomorrow, September 20, 2024, and we can’t wait to see how these improvements translate into real-world use. Whether you’re excited about the larger battery, the faster charging, or both, it’s clear that Apple has made some thoughtful upgrades in the power department this year.
