Hopefully, we will know more about the 16 Pro Max’s battery size soon. Since the smaller model is rumored to be getting a slight increase in battery size, we could see the same on the bigger model.

Being a leak, keep in mind that the above-mentioned detailscould change, so take them with a grain of salt. It has also been mentioned by the leaker that this is the battery of anearly-stage iPhone 16 Pro prototype. Apple has not yet confirmed an iPhone 16 series, but like every year, the launch is expected in late 2024, and there is a long time until that happens. So yeah, many iterative changes to the internal prototypes can happen before the first next-gen iPhone is made.

There are a fair share of details revealed on the iPhone 16 based on leaks & rumors too. What are your thoughts on the new leak showing an iPhone 16 Pro prototype’s battery? Let us know in the comments below.
