The latest rumors about the upcoming iPhone 16 series are causing quite a buzz as we approach September. According to the grapevine, at least two models will come with larger batteries, while one will have a smaller battery capacity compared to its predecessor. Here’s what we know so far:

iPhone 16 Pro Max: Rumored to feature a 4,676mAh battery, an increase of 254mAh from the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 4,422mAh battery. This isn’t surprising given that the phone is expected to grow in size from 6.7-inch to 6.9-inch. It’s also rumored that due to an internal redesign, the phone will no longer have an L-shaped battery.

iPhone 16 Plus: May come with a smaller battery compared to its predecessor, with a rumored capacity of 4,006mAh as opposed to the iPhone 15 Plus’ 4,383mAh battery.

Base Model: The base model’s battery capacity is speculated to increase from 3,349mAh to 3,561mAh.

It’s worth noting that despite potential changes in battery sizes, the phones may still offer similar battery life as the previous models thanks to a more efficient chip based on the N3E process.

While these rumors are exciting for Apple enthusiasts, it’s essential to take them with a grain of salt since they are not confirmed yet.

In addition to potential changes in battery capacities, other rumored features for the iPhone 16 series include:

Consistent screen sizes with the current-gen models – 6.1-inch for iPhone 16 and 6.7-inch for iPhone 16 Plus
Possibly featuring a vertical camera array
Inheriting the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button
Introducing a Capture Button for a dedicated camera-like feel
Rumored periscope camera for iPhone 16 Pro and super telephoto periscope camera for Pro Max
Generative AI features aimed at competing better with top Android phones

These speculations make us even more eager for Apple’s official announcement of the new lineup.
