Apple wants to build its own battery design for iPhones

iPhones have offer decent battery life but charging them takes longer than Android phones and that could change with these plans

Apple already has a tight control on the software and various aspects of the hardware which includes the chipset, camera and more. But now, the company could be looking to further solidify its stamp on the products by reportedly working on an all-new battery tech which could soon be part of iPhones or even iPads.

The report from ETnews suggests Apple is working on a new battery design from scratch which could alleviate the need to work with vendors for the component and also drive its performance based on the hardware and software tuning.

In fact, Apple is seeking new materials to make its battery, preferring to use silicone content which can invariably increase the battery capacity that an iPhone can hold and allow faster charging speeds to give you a quick turnaround. We all know that iPhones aren’t the best when it comes to charging speeds and it is likely that all the development work is being done to give iPhone the edge over other premium brands in the years to come.

How soon can we expect these new Apple-made batteries to roll out in products? The report claims that Apple is looking at a timeline after 2025 to introduce the battery tech and bring it on devices like iPhones.

Some people have talked about using solar charging for phone batteries but the risk factor is likely to be higher compared to developing a whole new design. And if Apple’s history with the M series silicone for Macs is anything to go by, the iPhones could probably use a similar impetus to make the change.

After all, the battery still feels like an untapped aspect of a phone, even though you have faster charging speeds to compensate for its efficiency. If Apple can crack the code for a new battery material that gives you the best of both worlds, it could truly change the way smartphones behave and perform over a longer period.
