Replacing your iPhone battery can cost several hundred euros. AppleCare+ insurance serves as a reasonable safeguard, but being able to change this component yourself without involving third parties would be more cost-effective. And precisely,the manufacturer would like to make the iPhone 16 battery easier to separate from the chassis. Today, glue dots join the two pieces. But getting rid of it proves particularly difficult. The solution imagined by Cupertino then consists of installing a new electrical impulse fixing system, to replace this aging mechanism. For the manufacturer, it is also an opportunity to add grain to its speechsuspected of greenwashing.
It's the mediaThe Informationwhich reveals the file, without having been contradicted by Apple since. But the manufacturer rarely speaks out about the rumors surrounding its future products. The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could be revealed in September. Their technical characteristics would notably give pride of place to larger screens for premium models. We also assume that the ultra-wide-angle will have a record definition of forty-eight megapixels, compared to four times less today.
Not for all models?
THEiPhone 17would also be equipped with this new battery, without distinction. However, this is not the case with previous models, according to our source of the day. Indeed, it is possible that only one edition of the iPhone 16 will be entitled to it. When it comes to performance, it's often the Pro models that benefit along with the others. But today we are talking about a relatively discreet assembly, which 99% of users will not be able to detect without disassembling the mobile. It is therefore difficult to know which iPhone 16 will carry the latest generation battery, for the moment.
Four models are therefore in the pipeline, the iPhone 16 Plus andthe iPhone 16 Pro Maxbeing expected to offer the best autonomy within the quartet. For comparison, today, an iPhone 15 Pro Max can last up to twenty-nine hours according to the manufacturer. But in reality, these numbers vary depending on the habits of each user. As for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, we should still be able to last a full day on a single charge with these devices. Very fast charging, on the other hand, is still awaited: the iPhone 15 allows you to obtain 50% autonomy in 30 minutes, compared to100% in twenty minutes with the Xiaomi 13T Proand its 120 watt power supply.
A benefit for the planet
Offering us a battery that is easier to replace is not only an asset for the user experience, since the initiative could also prove beneficial for the environment. Indeed, there are countless iPhone owners who are reluctant to change the component when it lets out its last breath. The fault is too high repair costs, therefore. As a result, these mobiles are often stored or even thrown away. However, we know today thatwaste generation is one of the aggravating factors of global warming. The new iPhone battery could therefore limit the volume of defective equipment, and thus contribute to the protection of nature on its scale.
Changing the battery should also be the cause of an update to the tutorial which allows it to be replaced. This is available within Apple's standalone repair program, through the rental of equipment and the purchase of spare parts. But this is not the only obstacle to entry into the service, given that the guide is not succinct enough to convince the general public. You also have to measure your movements, meticulously, during manipulations, which is not given to everyone.
- The iPhone 16 battery could detach more easily from the device
- Replacing the battery yourself may be cheaper
- It is also an advantage for the environment
