Leaked images indicate the iPhone 16 Pro’s battery will have a metal covering
This change was first leaked back in November by tipster @KosutamiSan, who also said that the phone may switch to a graphene thermal system as graphene offers better thermal conductivity than copper.
Per the leaked images, the iPhone 16 will have a 3,597mAh battery, which should allow it to last longer than the iPhone 15.
We don’t know if the iPhone 16‘s battery will feature increased density for longer battery life and whether it will have a stainless steel battery case instead of an aluminum housing. Both of these changes have been rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Though not all iPhone 15 Pro users experienced overheating issues, it’s still nice to see Apple take a proactive approach.
With all the AI features that will allegedly be baked into the the next operating system, the new phones may generate more heat than the current generation, and heat-dissipating measures will hopefully stop them from getting unbearably hot.
