Absolute battery size is irrelevant.

Run time on a charge is what matters to the user, and run time on a 
charge is what determines how many charge cycles in (say) a year the 
battery will experience.

Which is irrelevant if it uses more power in the ratio of


1.37 to 1 with an iPhone 16

1.07 to 1 with an iPhone 16 Plus

1.40 to 1 with an iPhone 16 Pro

1.07 to 1 with an iPhone 16 Pro Max

And do you know you can look up which phones run the longest on a charge:

Guess which two phones they rank highest?
