Apple plans to make new batteries with silicon instead of graphite. These pure silicon batteries will store more power for phones. The company wants iPhone users to enjoy longer screen time. Better batteries will also help phones run AI tasks. Apple is working with several manufacturers to create this technology.
The new batteries pack more energy without growing larger, giving Apple the freedom to design thinner iPhones if desired. Silicon batteries address the need for improved performance with on-device AI features. An industry insider claims the company solved problems with expanding silicon materials. Apple typically introduces new technologies later than competitors, suggesting these batteries might appear in phones after a few years.
