This is an increase of four hours over the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which offered 29 hours of battery life during video playback. This is an increase of 14%. On the other hand, The ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro offers a 27-hour battery life, up from 23 hours on the iPhone 15 Pro, for an increase of 17%.

While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz.

Has anyone noticed? Apple joyos every single year. Last year they made it lighter, keeping battery life the same as the 14 Pro. Then they increase battery life but it gains weight again. So every year they can market a change.

The reason I got the 13 over the 13 Pro in 2021 was weight, that's the only reason. And I got the 15 Pro because it got lighter again. I'm not buying 200g iPhones.

Underrated upgrade is a new anti reflective coating on all the iPhone 16 pro lenses and one of the iPhone 16 lenses. I’m hoping like crazy this is Apple testing out something they can put on the next Vision Pro lenses to mitigate glare.
