Apple will launch the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models later this year with a wide range of changes in terms of external as well as internal design. Internally, the company is planning to replace the Mute Switch components with a mechanical button, similar to the Volume and the Power Button. However, the solution is temporary, as the company will be moving to solid-state buttons in the future. We are now hearing that Apple will also be using the stacked battery technology in the iPhone 15, which comes with its own set of benefits over the conventional Li-ion battery.
iPhone 15 to launch with stacked battery technology ahead of the Galaxy S24 series, could offer various benefits over the current iteration
It was previously reported that the iPhone 15 Pro models will be slightly thicker than the current models. We have also seen mockups of the iPhone 15 Pro that appear slightly heftier. Furthermore, the rumor surrounding bigger battery capacities on all models was justified. It is now being reported by a Twitter user "RGcloudS" that the iPhone 15 lineup will come with stacked battery technology.
This is the first time we are hearing details on the stacked battery technology for the iPhone. A few months ago, we covered that Samsung is working on stacked battery technology for its forthcoming Galaxy S24 series. It appears that Apple will use the technology ahead of its main competitor with the launch of the iPhone 15 series. As we have mentioned earlier, stacked battery technology offers a plethora of benefits in contrast to the current iteration.
The stacked battery technology on the iPhone 15 series will deliver enhanced performance and also contribute to the battery life. It is the same technology that powers electric vehicles. With stacked battery technology, the cells are less prone to swell up over time, giving the device more run time. Furthermore, the stacked battery technology will also withstand shocks from charging and discharging. This also reduces the chances of battery explosion, which Samsung has already been a victim of.
Note that a stacked battery is difficult to manufacture compared to the ones we use today. It requires a manufacturing technique called lamination that folds the elements into layers in contrast to rolling them up. It also makes room for more active cells that expand the battery capacity. Furthermore, heat dissipation is also generalized in the design that prevents the device from getting hot.
Nonetheless, the rumor is still young, and the final word rests with Apple, so be sure to take the news with a grain of salt. Although, we have previously heard that the company is working to expand battery capacities which could potentially make the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 15 Pro Max the best battery life on any smartphone.
