This happens because of the extra fast charging facility. Fast charging the phone every day has an adverse effect on the battery. Currently, brands offering 65-watt, 85-watt, and even 120-watt adapters on Android have a high chance of battery damage. iPhones on the other hand are quite careful with their charging accessories. That’s why they don’t offer anything extra other than suitable charging power."

The teardowns and tests of the iPhone 16 Pro did reveal one major fix versus the 15 Pro, the 16 Pro has a much better thermal solution and can run demanding applications without throttling. See <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLpVtjkTfA&t=391s>.
