It's well known Apple has always put the crappiest batteries in the iPhone.

 Woo hoo! Finally, an iPhone with a battery capacity of at least that of my
old 2021 T-Mobile (~$180MSRP) Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which I got for free.
   iPhone 11 Pro Max: 3,969 mAh
  iPhone 12 Pro Max: 3,687 mAh
  iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352 mAh
  iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323 mAh
  iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422 mAh
  iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,676 mAh
  iPhone 17 Pro Max: ~5,000 mAh
 Welcome to the modern world, iPhone owners!
 Maybe soon Apple will make an iPhone that can earn an A rating for once.

 Funny how Apple is almost always five years behind everyone else.

Only 6 smartphones outlasted the iPhone 16 Pro Max's battery life:
Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro:  20:34 (19% longer)
OnePlus 13:            19:45 (14% longer)
OnePlus 13R:           18:49 (09% longer)
Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro:  18:48 (09% longer)
Moto G 2025:           18:32 (07% longer)
OnePlus 12R:           18:08 (05% longer)
iPhone 16 Pro Max:     17:17

You can look up the sizes of all of their batteries:
Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro:  5800 mAh (23% larger)
OnePlus 13:            6000 mAh (28% larger)
OnePlus 13R:           6000 mAh (28% larger)
Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro:  5500 mAh (17% larger)
Moto G 2025:           5000 mAh (07% larger)
OnePlus 12R:           5500 mAh (17% larger)
iPhone 16 Pro Max:     4685 mAh
Do you see a pattern there?
It each case except for the Moto G, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is more EFFICIENT than the other smartphones that exceed its battery life.
Game, set, match.
