iPhone 16 Pro Max impressed testers with battery life: how long does the phone last
The new iPhone 16 Pro Max has shown impressive results in battery life tests, outperforming previous Apple models and getting closer to top competitors. The first test showed that the smartphone held a charge for 18 hours and 6 minutes, which is a record among all iPhones.
Tom's Guide decided to repeat the tests to make sure the results were accurate. After several attempts, the average battery life was 17 hours and 35 minutes. This result was the third best among all modern smartphones tested, behind only the gaming Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro (18:48) and OnePlus 12R (18:08).

Comparison with other devices showed that the iPhone 16 Pro Max outperformed the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (16:45) and even outperformed its "little brother" iPhone 16 Plus (16:29). However, models with a smaller battery, such as the iPhone 16 Pro (14:07) and the regular iPhone 16 (12:43), are significantly inferior in endurance.

The Google Pixel 9 failed to come close to these figures: in tests, the new Pixel 9 Pro lasted only 13.5 hours, and its XL version lasted just over 14 hours. This shows that Apple has made a significant step forward in the battery life segment.

It's important to note that the iPhone 16 Plus also performs well for its class. Therefore, if you need a large screen but for a smaller budget, it is worth paying attention to it, although the Pro Max still has better endurance.
