  • The battery capacity of the iPhone 16 series has been revealed through regulatory filings.
  • The iPhone 16 series comes with the following battery sizes: 3,561mAh (base), 4,674mAh (Plus), 3,582mAh (Pro), and 4,685mAh (Pro Max).

The iPhone 16 series goes on sale today in major markets around the world, competing against top Android flagships like the Pixel 9 series and the Galaxy S24 series. If you’ve got your hands on your new iPhone 16 or are deciding whether to take the plunge, you’d be glad to know that we finally have exact battery capacity information across the iPhone 16 lineup.

Apple doesn’t release the exact battery capacity of its phones. Instead, the company focuses on battery life as a comparison metric against preceding products in the lineup to show how much battery life has improved. While we appreciate the real-world focus of the released data, it makes comparing the latest iPhone 16 against iPhones older than the iPhone 15 difficult.
