Thanks to the brand-new and power-efficient A18 chip, the 16 Plus comes with stupendous battery life. If you don’t push the smartphone to the limit, then you can eke out almost three days (72 hours) of battery life. This is the reason to get the 16 Plus over any of the other 16 Series models. With 5G/Wi-Fi, moderate media consumption, little to no gaming, a lot of doomscrolling, texting, and calling and even some mapping with Google Maps, you’d only need to charge it late on the second night or early third morning. With a heavier usage pattern, you can get up to two days of battery life, which is still pretty great.
