Apple has previously claimed that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has the longest battery life in its entire lineup and the longest-lasting of any iPhone model released, capable of lasting 29 hours of video playback. However, at the end of the latest battery drain test, the company’s claims will definitely be called into question. In this test, all four models will compete against each other, and in the end there will be an unexpected winner.
iPhone 16 Plus ends up being the longest lasting, questioning Apple’s claim that iPhone 16 Pro Max boasts the best runtime
Apple uses the same 3nm “N3E” process to mass produce the A18 and A18 Pro, so the differences between all iPhone 16 models are not that noticeable when it comes to differences in battery life. This means that the LTPO OLED upgrade and other changes included in the “Pro” models will be one of the determining factors in which devices will last the longest. YouTube channel PhoneBuff decided to try out all four models and carefully calibrate each device to minimize the possibility of deviations.
It’s no surprise that the iPhone 16’s first power-off lasted 9 hours and 38 minutes. Combined with the 16 hours of standby time that was consistent across all models tested, we saw a total uptime of 25 hours and 38 minutes. Minutes. The iPhone 16 Pro’s battery drained quickly, with a total endurance of 9 hours and 43 minutes, or 25 hours and 43 minutes. As mentioned earlier, there was a surprise winner in this test, and it was the iPhone 16 Plus.
The larger non-Pro product lasted longer than its sibling, with a whopping 12 hours and 12 minutes of “screen on” time and a total run time of 28 hours and 12 minutes. The iPhone 16 Plus lasted 11 minutes longer than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So, based on this test, if you want the best durability of all the handsets featured in this video, you should skip the “Pro” model and save some money. Pay the money and get an iPhone 16 Plus instead.
The YouTuber said at the beginning of the test that these results are estimates and the numbers shown here can vary each time you run the same test, so it’s important to make appropriate adjustments each time your battery dies. Please note that I said that. A run will take place.
