Apple could also replace the aluminum battery case with stainless steel!
With each renewal of the iPhone family, battery optimization is one of the features that has not always pleased Apple, but the arrival of the iPhone 16 could make the difference. After some previous reports focused on improving the iPhone 16’s battery capacity, an update focused on a change in battery density.
Apple could opt for a more compact battery for the iPhone 16 Pro Max
The report shared by reliable leaker Ming-Chi Ku assures that Apple could choose to use a smaller battery in the iPhone 16 Pro Max and you can also change the aluminum battery case to stainless steel.
My latest supply chain survey indicates that the energy density (Wh/kg) of iPhone 16 Pro Max battery cells will increase, which has the benefit of longer battery life with the same battery size or a smaller battery size with the same battery life.
Regarding the option of replace aluminum battery case with stainless steelKuo put forward his theory, believing that this is not the ideal option for reducing the density of this component:
Using a stainless steel battery case also reduces the difficulty of removing the battery, which will help Apple meet the European Union’s requirements for replaceability of mobile phone batteries in the future.
Yes OK Most iPhone users tend to favor longer battery life, the company could consider a different strategy. Instead of increasing the battery capacity, Apple could choose to reduce its size while maintaining the same capacity.This measure could result in weight savingsalthough modest, raising questions about the balance between energy efficiency and compact design of the next iPhone.
Whichever path Apple chooses, every effort is being made to make the 16 Pro Max the longest-lasting iPhone in history… finally. Although there are also other reasons to believe that this model will be quite special.
