Apple is working on a special battery!

As we can see from the battery life of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max, although the latest iPhone 15 series does not bring significant improvements in the battery department, the battery life of the iPhone has been gradually improving since the iPhone 13 series. However, as new rumors suggest, Apple aims to switch to a new plan on this issue by developing a special battery.

Apple is said to be working on a custom in-house battery design, according to a newly surfaced report. The company is exploring alternative cathode materials to improve the overall performance of the battery module in order to extend the battery life of its future products released after 2025.

The report suggests that Apple is actively considering increasing the silicon content within the battery, moving away from the traditional use of graphite as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries. Graphite’s unique properties make it an ideal choice; It stores and releases electrical energy efficiently and provides reliable and long-lasting battery performance in mobile devices.

While a silicon-based approach has the potential to increase overall battery capacity and reduce charging times, there is another problem; silicone tends to expand during the charging process. However, Apple seems to have found a solution to alleviate this problem.

Rumors that Apple is developing its own next-generation batteries date back to 2019. Even before that, the company was collaborating with suppliers to offer innovative battery solutions, such as the space-saving L-shaped battery in the iPhone XS. .

With a recent commitment, the company aims to use 100% recycled cobalt in all ‘Apple-designed’ batteries by 2025. It remains to be seen whether the rumored custom Apple battery will actually materialize and whether the company will stick to its goals.
