Highlights
- iPhone 16 Pro Max rumoured to offer unprecedented 30 hours of battery life.
- Anticipated 5% increase in battery size to a 4,676mAh cell.
- Features enhanced hardware including the Apple A18 Pro SoC and Super Periscope camera.
- Innovations include a larger 6.9-inch MLA OLED display and titanium build.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple’s future flagship, is poised to redefine expectations if reports are to be believed.
According to recent leaks, this next-generation iPhone is on track to offer the longest battery life ever witnessed in Apple’s smartphone lineup.
A Leap in Battery Capacity
Insiders, including a notable Naver user, yeux1122, suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will sport a significantly larger battery compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The anticipated increase in battery size is expected to shoot up the battery life to 30 hours of usage, an hour more than the current model.
Speculation around the battery size points towards a 5 percent increase, potentially upgrading the device to a 4,676mAh cell from the previous 4,422mAh.
This enhancement is speculated to be complemented by advancements in both software and hardware efficiency, ensuring that the device’s power management is optimized for the rumoured larger 6.9-inch MLA OLED display.
Innovations Beyond Battery Life
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is also rumoured to maintain its innovative L-shaped dual-cell battery design, a strategic choice to maximize internal space efficiency.
The entire iPhone 16 Pro series, including the slightly smaller iPhone 16 Pro with a proposed 6.3-inch display, seems geared for substantial enhancements.
Rumours hint at larger displays across the board, potentially requiring larger chassis for both models, with the iPhone 16 Pro’s bezels expected to be thinner than those on the Galaxy S24.
Camera and Hardware Upgrades
On the camera front, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could be outfitted with a “Super Periscope” lens, succeeding last year’s introduction of a 5x periscope zoom.
Under the hood, both Pro models are anticipated to feature the new Apple A18 Pro SoC, promising leaps in processing power and efficiency.
Additionally, a novel capture button, up to 2TB of storage, and 8GB of RAM are expected, alongside exclusive on-device AI capabilities and an enhanced titanium build for improved durability.
