Dr. Techy| Apple’s iPhone 15 series to feature major battery life boost

It seems that Apple could boast considerably better battery life for its next-generation devices.

The iPhone 15 will feature an 18% larger battery, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro a 14% larger battery, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max a 12% larger battery, said people familiar with the information in a Weibo post. The accuracy of the post is yet uncertain, noted a local tech media IThome.

If the claim is accurate, the alleged battery capacity of the iPhone 15 models will experience a significant boost compared to their predecessors. The iPhone 15 is said to feature a 3,877mAh battery, surpassing the 3,279mAh unit found in the iPhone 14. Similarly, the iPhone 15 Plus is rumored to sport a larger 4,912mAh battery, a significant improvement from the 4,325mAh capacity of the iPhone 14 Plus.

In addition, the iPhone 15 Pro is said to come with 256GB of storage as standard, doubling the current 128GB base storage configuration, said a source claiming to be from Foxconn - Apple’s largest assembler. Since the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are still anticipated to launch with 128GB of storage, this would also serve as a significant differentiation between the Pro and non-Pro models.

It’s important to note that these rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt. Analysts predict the iPhone 15 series will be released in September 2023, with the Pro models expected to be relatively expensive.$AAPL(AAPL)
