So, Apple, the tech giant we all know and love, is at it again with their in-house shenanigans. They've mastered the art of custom chips like A-series and M-series, and now they're eyeing custom batteries.
According to the grapevine from Korean outlet ET News (trust those insiders), Apple is diving headfirst into making their own batteries. They're not just stopping at the battery casing; they're meddling in the nitty-gritty, like, "Hey, what materials should we stuff in these batteries?"
Their aim? To create batteries that'll blow our socks off with "significantly improved performance compared to the current one."
Now, don't just think iPads and MacBooks are getting this battery party; iPhones want in on the action too. In fact, Apple's master plan is to pop these powerhouses into the iPhone 17, promising some serious battery stamina. Say goodbye to iPhone 16's limelight; the 17 is here to steal the show.
You might wonder, "Do we really need better battery life?" Well, because the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max already smashed it in the battery life department, boasting a solid 14 hours (not minutes, hours!) in our rigorous battery test. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro managed to pull off 11 hours plus, showing off their battery prowess.
But Apple isn't stopping at mere size. They're on a quest to increase battery life without beefing up your phone's waistline. They're considering "stacked" batteries and, heck, even reimagining batteries from scratch. With Apple's track record, who knows what kind of battery wizardry they'll come up with.
The big question remains: Can Apple meet that 2025 deadline for these super-batteries? We all remember the saga of the Apple 5G modem that's been on the rumor mill forever. Still no sign of it, and they say it might not show up until 2027. Let's hope they have better luck with the batteries.
