In this issue, DEJI battery systematically compares the battery capacity of iPhones over the past 18 years.
In each generation of iPhone released, Apple not only upgraded the design and performance, but also the improvement of battery capacity is also an important change that cannot be ignored.
Today, let's review how the battery capacity has gradually evolved from the first generation of iPhone to the latest iPhone 16 series, and how this change affects the user experience.
With the development of many emerging Internet industries, smart devices are loaded with more and more APPs, resulting in a surge in power consumption, and battery life has become one of the most troublesome problems for users.
Although the iPhone has excellent battery life experience and power consumption solutions in the industry, it is still not enough to meet the needs of game users or non-light users; therefore, the following DEJI battery editor will count the battery capacity rankings of iPhone phones over the years. How much difference has there been in these 18 years?
iPhone 16 series
iPhone 16: 3561mAh
iPhone 16 Plus: 4674mAh
iPhone 16 Pro: 3582mAh
iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4685mAh
Compared with the previous generation iPhone 15 series, the iPhone 16 series has improved in battery capacity, among which the iPhone 16 Pro has the largest increase in battery capacity, reaching 9%.
Because the performance and battery life of a mobile device depends not only on its physical capacity, but also on system optimization and processor efficiency.
The new A18 and A18 Pro chips, along with improved thermal performance, are the most significant improvements in terms of extending battery life.

This table shows the evolution of battery capacity from the first generation iPhone to the iPhone 16 series. You can see that the battery capacity of each version has gradually increased, especially the Plus and Pro Max series.
Unit: mAh
From the first generation iPhone to today's iPhone 16 series, the increase in battery capacity fully reflects Apple's attention to user experience. Both the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro Max show Apple's continuous progress in battery technology, allowing every user to enjoy longer battery life and avoid the trouble of frequent charging. In addition, after more than a decade of development, the capacity of different iPhone models was sufficient at the time, but it cannot be compared now, and is only for analysis and reference.
Since the launch of the first iPhone over a decade ago, battery capacity has been a key focus for users anticipating each new model. However, what's less known is the impact of iPhone battery voltage on this capacity.
As a leading supplier of high-capacity iPhone batteries, DEJI specializes in providing enhanced battery solutions for the iPhone 5 to 16 series. Our commitment to continually improving battery capacity and reliability has led to the launch of new and advanced battery models.
DEJI batteries will also be unpacked and charged as soon as possible. Interested friends can look forward to the performance of the new iPhone.
