iPhone 16 Plus - Best iPhone for Battery Life
The iPhone 16 Plus combines a spacious display with outstanding battery longevity, perfect for users who prioritize screen size and all-day usage.
- +Exceptional battery life lasts up to 16+ hours
- +Large 6.7-inch display ideal for media consumption
- +Same camera system as standard iPhone 16
- -Bulky size makes one-handed use difficult
- -Still uses 60Hz display instead of ProMotion
- -Higher price than standard model without Pro features
The iPhone 16 Plus stands out for its remarkable battery performance, consistently delivering 16+ hours of usage in tests - among the best of any iPhone. The 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display provides ample space for watching videos, browsing, and gaming, though it shares the same 60Hz refresh rate as the standard model rather than the ProMotion technology of more expensive variants. Powered by the A18 chip, performance matches the iPhone 16, handling everything from daily tasks to intensive applications with ease.
The camera system mirrors the standard model with a 48MP main sensor and 12MP ultrawide lens, including new Photographic Styles for customized image processing. The larger form factor allows for a bigger battery but makes the device less pocketable at 199g weight. The aluminum and glass construction maintains Apple's premium design language, and the device includes both the Action button and new Camera Control button. While lacking some Pro features, the 16 Plus represents the best option for users who want a big screen and long battery life without paying Pro Max prices, making it ideal for travelers and media enthusiasts.
