Apple Charging Up: Could iPhones Soon Have Their Own Battery Technology?
Apple already has tight control over the software and various aspects of the hardware, including the chipset, camera, and more. But now the company may be looking to further cement its stamp on products by reportedly working on an entirely new battery technology that could soon be part of iPhones or even iPads.
A report by ETnews suggests that Apple is working on a new battery design from scratch, which could ease the need to work with component vendors and also improve its performance based on hardware and software tuning.
In fact, Apple is looking for new materials to make the battery and prefers to use silicone content, which can invariably increase the capacity of the iPhone battery and enable faster charging speeds to give you a quick turnaround. We all know that iPhones aren’t the best when it comes to charging speeds, and it’s likely that all the development work will be done to give the iPhone an edge over other premium brands in the years to come.
How soon can we expect these new Apple-made batteries to arrive in products? The report claims that Apple is looking at a timeline beyond 2025 to introduce the battery technology and bring it to devices like the iPhone.
Some have talked about using solar charging for phone batteries, but the risk factor is likely greater than developing an entirely new design. And if Apple’s history with M-series silicones for Macs is anything to go by, iPhones could probably use a similar push to make the switch.
After all, the battery still feels like the unused side of the phone, even though you have faster charging speeds to compensate for its efficiency. If Apple can crack the code on a new battery material that gives you the best of both worlds, it could really change the way smartphones behave and perform in the long run.
