Apple is working on their battery design to boost the battery life of their products. They're planning to change the composition of their batteries to achieve this. However, it seems like these rumoured battery improvements won't be available in Apple's products for a while, as the development is still in its early stages.
According to a South Korean news publication, ET News mentions that Apple is actively working on enhancing battery technology for its upcoming products. They are aiming to create a "next-generation battery" and are deeply involved in the design process, which includes developing the cathode, selecting necessary components and materials, and experimenting with different materials to boost performance.
Apple is also exploring a new cathode material composition and considering the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive material, both of which have the potential to enhance battery performance when compared to their current components.
At the same time, the company is exploring the use of alternative materials for the anode of the battery, as the report suggests. Instead of graphite, Apple is contemplating the use of silicon, despite its tendency to expand during charging and discharging. However, Apple has found a solution to address the expansion issue.
Apple has been working on this technology since at least 2018, which included hiring an executive from Samsung SDI, a South Korean company known for its work in batteries and electronics, according to reports
Although Apple hasn't officially announced when these battery improvements will be implemented or which devices will feature the new battery design, the report indicates that Apple intends to introduce devices with this advanced battery technology within the next two years. This suggests that we might see devices with enhanced battery life compared to their predecessors as early as 2025.
