Battery Wars: Does the iPhone 16 Actually Last Longer?

Every year, Apple says the battery is 'better,' but what does that mean in the real world? We took the iPhone 16 and the 15 on a full day of navigation, social media, and 5G use to see which one died first. If you’re tired of carrying a power bank, this comparison is for you.

The 2-Hour Edge

Our tests showed that the iPhone 16 consistently offered about 90 to 120 minutes more screen-on time than the 15. That might not sound like much, but it’s the difference between reaching home with 15% left and your phone dying while you’re still waiting for your Uber.

The iPhone 16 is the endurance king. Check your current phone's battery health and trade-in value on SellInstant today!
