Apple to Develop Custom In-House Batteries for iPhones by 2025
Revolutionary Technology to Include High-Performance Cathode Materials and Silicon-Based Design, Ensuring Increased Battery Life and Shorter Charging Times.
- Apple is reported to develop its own batteries in-house, intending to enhance battery life and pave the way for revolutionary technology in iPhones by 2025.
- The new generation batteries will use high-performance cathode materials made by combining raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, and aluminum, potentially improving battery energy density, output, and stability.
- Applications of carbon nanotubes as a conductive material could positively impact the batteries' performance. Additionally, increasing the silicon content to replace graphite would boost battery capacity and shorten charging and discharging time.
- The project, currently only a rumor, has long-term implications with new batteries expected to appear in devices in 2025 or later. A Samsung battery expert, hired by Apple back in 2019, might be involved in this new development.
- While future Apple Car projects may eventually use this technology, mobile devices such as iPhones are reportedly the main target of this battery development. The iPhone 17 or iPhone 18 models are expected to first benefit from this technological breakthrough.
