The image of the iPhone 16 Pro battery was revealed; Bigger than the previous generation with a graphene heatsink
An image purporting to show the iPhone 16 Pro’s new battery was released today by a well-informed source. This image shows the new metal body and higher capacity of this battery. The published image is actually the first image of the components of the next iPhone series. It seems that Apple uses graphene instead of copper for the device’s heatsink to reduce heat in this series.
According to A knowledgeable source’s post on Xthis battery for the iPhone 16 Pro prototype with capacity 3355 mAh designed. iPhone 15 Pro has a battery of 3274 mAh, in other words, the battery of the iPhone 16 Pro prototype is only 2.5 percent It is bigger. But the new battery connector has been redesigned.
iPhone 16 Pro battery with some changes
The most important change in this battery is replacing the black foil cover with a matte metal shell; Currently, all iPhone batteries are covered with black foil. This change improves the thermal efficiency of the battery and does not affect the weight of the part. The Apple Watch used to have black foil-encased batteries, but starting with the 40mm Apple Watch Series 7, Apple started using metal shells to improve temperature management.
The first leaked image of the battery seems to confirm the information that was leaked last week. According to reports, Apple plans to introduce a new thermal system to reduce excessive heat in the iPhone 16.
In addition to batteries with metal frames in the iPhone 16 Pro models, the entire iPhone 16 series is rumored to have a Graphene heatsink To reduce excessive heat. Graphene It has high thermal conductivity and works better than copper. Currently, iPhone heatsinks are made of copper. Apple has been interested in graphene to reduce heat for some time and has registered a patent for the discovery of materials for heat dissipation in portable devices.
It seems that this action by Apple is partly in response to the overheating problems of the iPhone 15 Pro.
