The iPhone 16 Pro Max may have a battery advantage over other iPhone 16 models due to its cell offering a higher energy density, according to a new report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
A higher energy density means more milliamp-hours of battery capacity in the same area, meaning a higher capacity and hopefully a longer battery life. But higher density also means a longer charging time at a given wattage. Unless Apple decides to increase the charging speed of the iPhone 16 Pro Max at the same time as enlarging its battery, it could take even longer to fill the phone up. Not great news if you need a quick top-up.
