Apple's iPhone battery health has been a source of frequent complaints from users, and this may be improved in the future. Apple is expected to improve the iPhone's battery performance by adopting a more energy-dense battery.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro Max's battery energy density will increase, allowing it to last longer with the same battery size, or make the battery smaller with the same battery life.

The increase in the energy density of the battery will inevitably increase the temperature of the battery during operation. And in order to avoid battery overheating, Apple will use a stainless steel battery case as a cooling solution for the first time on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Although stainless steel is not as good at heat dissipation as aluminum, stainless steel battery cases have two advantages, one is that it is stronger and less resistant to corrosion, which can provide better protection for the battery and iPhone; Secondly, the stainless steel battery case reduces the difficulty of disassembling the battery, which will help Apple meet the EU's requirements for mobile phone batteries to support removable in the future.

Kuo said that if the increase in battery energy density and the mass production of stainless steel battery cases go smoothly and receive good feedback, then the new iPhone in 2025, the entire iPhone 17 series, will use this new design.

The European Union has required that by 2027, all mobile phones must be equipped with removable batteries, and Apple's use of stainless steel battery cases this time is obviously preparing for removable batteries. From the iPhone to the C port, the iOS system supports sideloading apps, and the NFC technology is open to third-party developers, it seems that every "innovation" of Apple is driven by the high fines imposed by the European Union.
