I hope the iPhone 16 Pro Max battery design rumours are true

We expect to see Apple's iPhone 16 line up unveiled in less than four months now, assuming Apple sticks to its usual release cycle. And the rumours are getting more intriguing. 

Last year, Apple began to differentiate the iPhone Pro Max from the standard Pro by more than just size alone through the addition of the iPhone 15 Pro Max's 5X zoom. It's rumoured that the trend will continue this year with a new battery design for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. But it's a move we need to see on all iPhones, and all mobiles (see our full roundup of iPhone 16 rumours to see everything we expect from Apple's next generation of phones).
