According to a recent testing by PhoneBuff, the iPhone 16 Plus has outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of battery life, despite Apple’s claims that the Pro Max models offer the longest battery life in the 16 series.
In the test the iPhone 16 had a total battery life of 25 hours and 38 minutes, with a screen on time of 9 hours and 38 minutes.
Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro followed with a screen-on-time of 9 hours and 43 minutes. Surprisingly, the iPhone 16 Plus achieved a screen on time of 12 hours and 12 minutes, bringing its total battery life to 28 hours and 12 minutes, 11 minutes longer than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
While it’s important to note that these results suggest that users seeking the longest battery life may find the iPhone 16 Plus to be the best choice, though individual experience may vary depending on usage.
