People in shock after results show which smartphone has 25+ hours of battery life

The other contending smartphones weren't even close

It’s only been a few weeks since Apple’s big reveal, and die-hard iPhone fans are eager to get their hands on the new iPhone 16 series.

But what’s the real difference between the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max? I mean, besides the obvious.

For starters, the tech giant claims the iPhone 16 Pro Max has made a "huge leap in battery life — with iPhone 16 Pro Max offering the best battery life on iPhone ever," according to its official website.

And they weren't kidding.

When comparing the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, spending that extra $200 gives you a bigger 0.6-inch screen and a bunch of premium features.

But one of the most talked-about is the battery life.

Mashable put the latest iPhone to the test alongside other smartphones, and the results weren’t even close.

The test consisted of running videos continuously on TikTok with the phone’s brightness set at a standardised 50%.

Following the tests, the tech team revealed that the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery life of a whopping 25 hours and 17 minutes - almost double that of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

In order of shortest to longest runtimes:

  • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: 13 hours and 1 minute
  • iPhone 16: 16 hours and 20 minutes
  • iPhone 16 Pro: 18 hours and 17 minutes
  • Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: 18 hours and 50 minutes
  • iPhone 16 Plus: 18 hours and 53 minutes
  • Google Pixel 9: 19 hours and 20 minutes

Some users on Reddit have called the battery life differences between just the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max 'unbelievable.'

One user even said: "Apple is more efficient than Samsung."

Another commented: "Weird that the iPhone 16 Plus did so poorly, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is on another level."

One Reddit user exclaimed: "25 hours?? Holy moly."

Others are more sceptical of the update and believe it's only a matter of time before the battery level of the premium device drops: "Going by the previous trends, Apple will downgrade the battery life by a lot via software ‘updates’".
