iPhone 16e Battery Life Test: Discover Its Impressive Capacity and Real-World Performance!

In its recent video, Apple highlighted the iPhone 16e, showcasing its revamped internal design that allows for a more powerful battery.

Apple usually keeps the mAh ratings for its iPhones under wraps. However, in a review by Dave Lee from the YouTube channel Dave2D, he revealed that the iPhone 16e packs a battery of 3,961 mAh. This is over a 10% boost compared to the standard iPhone 16’s 3,561 mAh battery.

• iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,685 mAh
• iPhone 16 Pro: 3,582 mAh
• iPhone 16 Plus: 4,674 mAh
• iPhone 16: 3,561 mAh
• iPhone 16e: 3,961 mAh

Apple claims the iPhone 16e boasts the best battery life among all 6.1-inch iPhones, thanks in part to its efficient C1 modem.

But how does the battery hold up in real life?

In a test where Lee browsed Reddit over Wi-Fi, the iPhone 16e lasted an impressive 12 hours and 54 minutes. In contrast, the regular iPhone 16 only managed 11 hours and 17 minutes, making the 16e a standout performer.
