Apple may be planning big changes for its upcoming iPhones. The company may soon switch its smartphones to a battery of its own design, which could offer various improvements in battery performance over current versions.

According to a report published in South Korea, the Cupertino-based giant is working to develop its own battery technology. These cells can be used in the new generation iPhone. The launch of these phones is likely planned for 2025. Therefore, it does not seem possible for the iPhone 16 series to have this technology. The report claims that Apple’s new iPhone batteries will provide significant improvements in battery performance.

This is likely to have something to do with overall battery life or support for faster charging speeds. ET News claims that the company is directly involved in the production of materials that will be used in the new batteries. Apple will reportedly use this special battery in the 2025 iPhone. The report also states that Apple is trying to improve the performance of cathode materials. Apparently, the company is also exploring carbon nanotubes, or CNTs, as a conductive material to improve performance.

Apple may also be planning to increase the silicon content of cathode materials for iPhone batteries. For those who don’t know, the battery contains cathode and cathode materials. Newer smartphones use graphite as a secondary material, but the iPhone maker may be planning to increase the silicon content of its cathode materials. This can help shorten charging and discharging times.
