Apple iPhone 16: New leak points to improved battery capacities for only three models this year

A few months have passed since leaker Majin Bu shared battery capacities for three of Apple's next iPhones. For some reason, Majin Bu obtained battery capacities for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max, full details of which we have covered separately. However, Apple is expected to deliver four iPhones this year, the notion of which was recently supported by the publication of iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max dummy models.

Now, the likes of MacRumors have reported the battery capacity for the previously missing iPhone 16 Pro. It is worth noting that MacRumors stresses that its source, OvO Baby Sauce OvO is 'a relatively new source of supply chain leaks with an as-yet unproven track record for accuracy'. Consequently, we would treat them with some caution for now.

With that being said, the Weibo leaker has reinforced Majin Bu's earlier iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max battery capacities, which are rumoured to be 3,561 mAh, 4,006 mAh and 4,676 mAh typical capacities, respectively. Meanwhile, OvO Baby Sauce OvO claims that the iPhone 16 Pro features a 3,355 mAh battery, up from 3,274 mAh in its predecessor. As such, only this year's Plus model is anticipated to receive a battery capacity downgrade. As MacRumors notes, the iPhone 16 series could arrive with the following battery capacity percentage changes compared to current models.
