You might want to sit down for this seismic, mind-blowing news: The next iPhone might have a better battery than the current one.
That’s according to prolific Apple tipster Ming Chi Kuo, at least. Kuo wrote on his Medium page that Apple plans to increase the energy density of future iPhone batteries. Apple could potentially increase the amount of juice in a battery the same size as existing ones, or preserve the current battery life in a smaller unit to free up space for other items inside the phone .
iPhone 16: release date, price, specifications, features and other rumors
Crushable speed of light
iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro could be left behind
According to Kuo, this will be featured on the iPhone 16 Pro Max only. The other three new iPhones will likely be not include this change.
Another detail Kuo dropped is that Apple will apparently be switching from aluminum battery cases to stainless steel ones. According to Kuo, this would trade some heat dissipation for greater corrosion resistance, thus giving (at least in theory) a longer battery life. This could also help make battery replacement easier, complying with various international regulations requiring devices to be repairable.
None of this will be as exciting or eye-catching as the various software features Apple is sure to add to the next batch of iPhones, but making batteries more powerful is always a good thing.
