All Of Apple’s iPhone 16 Models Are Taken Through An Extensive Battery Drain Test, With A Surprise Winner At The End Of The Endurance Run
Apple had previously claimed that its iPhone 16 Pro Max sports the highest battery life out of the entire lineup, and it lasts the longest out of any iPhone model ever released, with an endurance of 29 hours in video playback.

As stated earlier, there was a surprise winner in this test, and it was the iPhone 16 Plus.
