Battery life can make or break a phone, and the iPhone 16 is absolutely no exception to that. But thankfully you don’t need to worry about it, because the entire iPhone 16 series has managed to exceed the battery life of their predecessors in our battery test — No doubt thanks to the larger batteries and the boosted power efficiency of the A18 and A18 Pro chips.

We put the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max through the Tom’s Guide battery test, which involves surfing the web over 5G at 150 nits of screen brightness. The iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Plus have risen to the top with some incredibly impressive results — making our best phone battery life list in the process. Here’s how the new iPhone 16 models’ battery life stacks up against their iPhone 15 counterparts, and rival flagships.

The iPhone 16 clocked in at 12 hours and 43 minutes during our testing, meaning it has the weakest battery performance of the iPhone 16 series. That’s no surprise, really, considering this is also the cheapest iPhone 16 on sale. That said, we found that the iPhone 15 lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes during its own battery life testing, meaning that there’s been a noticeable improvement this year.
