Apple Develops Enhanced Battery for Improved iPhone Performance

Allegedly, Apple is in the process of developing an innovative battery type set to extend the lifespan of their devices. Anticipated for integration into Apple products scheduled for release in 2025 or beyond, this enhanced battery reportedly employs a different cathode material, leaning towards increased silicon usage over graphite. This shift is expected to bolster the battery's capacity and expedite charging times. Challenges, such as silicon expansion during charging—a common issue faced by other manufacturers—are said to have been addressed by Apple.

While the exact performance enhancements of these upcoming batteries remain undisclosed, even marginal improvements could significantly benefit users. Although specific devices earmarked for this new technology haven't been confirmed by Apple, it's projected to span across various products like iPhones, Watches, and Macs. This development is speculated to align with the power demands of forthcoming Mixed Reality (MR) devices.

Rumors surrounding Apple's exploration of a new battery type have circulated since 2018, gaining traction when Apple enlisted Soonho Ahn, a former Samsung SDI employee, to oversee the battery development team the following year.
