Smartphones from Apple have been struggling with the problem of a relatively short working time on a single charge for years. At least compared to many Android smartphones. Worse yet, Apple didn’t seem to care much about this problem, only trying to improve the energy efficiency of devices, but not the size of the cells. The difference in battery capacity between last year’s iPhone 14 and the previous generation was even marginal (in favor of the newer ones). As a new rumor suggests, we can expect a big improvement this year.
Apple reportedly took care of more capacious batteries in the iPhone 15
According to unofficial information, reportedly from people working at the Foxconn factory in China (where most iPhones are made), Apple used more capacious cells in the iPhone 15. The change compared to last year’s iPhones is to be significant and noticeable in the results of working time on a single charge. And this is the case with each of the four versions.
The service that the biggest improvement will occur in the basic version of the iPhone 15, which will get a cell with a capacity of 3877 mAh, which is 18 percent larger. (vs. 3279 mAh in the iPhone 14). This smartphone will therefore be able to last much longer away from the charger of the iPhone 15 Pro, which is to be equipped with a 3650 mAh battery. This is also more than the iPhone 14 Pro, but only 14 percent. (from 3200mAh). by 14 percent the battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Plus will also improve (from 4325 mAh to 4912 mAh), which means that this variant will again boast the most capacious battery of all Apple smartphones. The smallest improvement – about 12 percent. – it will happen in the case of the iPhone 15 Pro Max (from 4323 mAh to 4852 mAh).
Of course, this is just a rumor, but information about increasing the battery capacity in new iPhones seems very likely. If Apple actually decides to use such cells, iPhones – thanks to great optimization – can become one of the longest working smartphones on a single charge.
This is not the only good news that was supposed to leak from the Chinese Foxconn factory. The same informants claim that Apple will sell two more expensive smartphones (iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max) only with larger built-in memories. Versions with 128 GB memory will be a thing of the past, and in the cheapest configuration these phones can be purchased with 256 GB of data space. This will also be one of the distinguishing features that will separate the Pro line from the cheaper and more basic iPhones 15 and 15 Plus, which will still be sold with 128 GB of memory. I just wonder how strongly (and if at all) these changes will affect the prices of upcoming smartphones from Apple.
