Small battery capacity has always been a problem for users IPhoneWhich makes them always need to charge the device more than once during the day, and it seems that the situation will change soon, as a new report indicated that Apple is working on developing a battery of its own design with high specifications that can work for a long time.


IPhone battery

Apple has been working on designing its own battery for its various devices since 2018, and for that, it obtained many patents and employed a number of names with experience in this field, as it sought to create a new type of battery that is characterized by improved performance and the ability to... Working longer than usual.

According to a report from the Korean news site ET News, Apple is developing a completely new battery capable of enhancing performance through the use of new materials that will go into the battery design. The report indicates that the new technology will not only make the batteries last longer, but will also make them faster to charge. .

The report indicates that Apple is working on a new composition that is completely different from those currently on the market, which is why it is personally supervising the development of the materials that make up the battery, such as anode and cathode materials.

The anode is an essential material that determines battery performance including, energy density, output and stability. Apple makes cathode materials by mixing a new composition of nickel, cobalt, manganese and aluminium.

In addition, the company plans to use carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive material to improve battery performance. A conductive material is a material that promotes the movement of electrons between the active material of the positive and negative poles.

Apple is also working on developing anode materials to significantly increase reliance on silicon. Graphite is currently used as a secondary battery anode material, and using silicon instead of graphite can increase battery capacity and shorten charge and discharge times.

Finally, the report indicates that Apple has completed the materials development stage and is now in the stage of improving the performance of its battery. It is expected that Apple will unveil its new battery two years from now, so the company may start using it with the iPhone 17, which is expected to be launched in 2025.

What do you think of the new technology and will it really help improve the performance and battery life of the iPhone? Tell us in the comments
