2020 iPhones may have a custom battery protection module that is nearly 50 percent smaller and thinner than the battery protection circuit in previous iPhones, according to industry sources cited by Korean website The Elec.
The smaller module could free up some internal space in iPhone 12 models, potentially paving the way for a slight increase in battery capacity.
The report claims the smaller module would be supplied by Korea's ITM Semiconductor.
A battery protection circuit helps to prevent over-charging and over-discharging. The new module from ITM Semiconductor combines the protection circuit with a MOSFET and PCB, eliminating the need for a holder case.
Apple is expected to release four high-end iPhones in 2020, including one 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and one 6.7-inch model. All four devices are expected to have OLED displays, 5G support, a new iPhone 4-like metal frame, up to 6GB of RAM, up to triple-lens rear cameras with 3D sensing, and more.
The iPhone 11 Pro Max has the largest battery life of any iPhone ever, lasting up to five hours longer than the iPhone XS Max per charge.
It would be wonderful. I like the way Apple is taking... still hard to believe at 4 models to be released in September.
The more battery the better.
Within limits... don’t forget about added weight. iPhone already is an “heavy” smartphone.
And please add 25w adapter in the box
Let me say NO, NO, NO !
stop this silly quick charge race at once. This is apple, not a Chinese rip-off trying to impress with higher numbers for the sake of it. 18W are a good compromise without putting to much strain on the battery.
5g is all that really matters. The OS is the same on models. The differentiation of cameras is really thin for most people, especially for your typical user who just points and shoots.
If Apple wants to revolutionize the iPhone they could change one simple design that has bugged me since 2007. That is this, MAKE THE APPS DEFAULT TO THE BOTTOM!
I may be the minority here. But I wish they make them thinner and lighter. The phones have gradually gotten heavier the last few years and I don’t like it.
