A promising future awaits us
The battery is probably one of the most important hardware components of the iPhone. Without the battery nothing is possible, it is responsible for providing energy to the rest of the components of the device so that everything works perfectly. Currently, the batteries of the most advanced iPhone models have autonomy that fluctuates around 30 hours of video playbackbut that could soon change…
Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and there is currently already a mobile phone with a battery capable of reaching 100 days of autonomy. Although this period of time may be too exaggerated (imagine going three months without charging your smartphone battery), a happy medium might be ideal with a battery that lasts a few weeks or a month.
This is the objective sought by the manufacturer TDK, which recently announced that it had succeeded in developing a material making it possible to manufacture batteries with 100 times higher energy density. And guess what? It’s an Apple supplier.
This new TDK technology could be aimed at smaller wearable devices
It is encouraging and hopeful to think that the iPhone battery could last for weeks and weeks thanks to the implementation of the new technology developed by TDK. However, everything seems to indicate that These types of batteries would be specially designed for small devices… like the Apple Watch.
Everything would fit perfectly with Apple’s strategy. A representative of the company itself assured a year ago that its main goal for the Apple Watch was to improve its energy efficiency and that with the development of these batteries with higher energy density they would achieve this .
TDK Corporation has successfully developed a material for CeraCharge, a next-generation battery with an energy density of 1,000 Wh/L, approximately 100 times higher than the energy density of TDK’s conventional battery.
Technology is supposed to be the ideal solution for wearable devices such as Apple Watch or AirTag. Although the AirTag currently has a single-cell battery, European Union regulations require manufacturers to replace these battery types with rechargeable batteries.
Regardless, if this technology ends up being applied to Apple wearable devices, in the future they would eventually reach the iPhone as well.
Another Apple device that could use a higher energy density battery is the revolutionary new Apple Vision Pro computer, which has a wired external battery that can be a bit bulky to carry.
Although we currently consider the iPhone with a week’s battery life to be a difficult dream to come trueThe truth is, ten years from now we’ll be laughing thinking about what we were doing today using batteries that only last a day. A promising future awaits us.
Until that happens, it never hurts to use these 10 useful tips to extend the battery life of your iPhone and iPad to get the most out of our devices.
