Apple is interested in developing the batteries of its new phones internally, with the aim of increasing the battery life of iPhone devices.
Apple is developing a battery intended for commercialization in 2025, according to a report published in ET News.
The company is directly involved in the development of battery materials including Cathode and Anode with the aim of developing a new battery that performs better than the existing battery.
Cathode also plays an important role in determining battery performance, and Apple uses different materials to improve its performance.
In addition, Apple is looking into using carbon nanotubes as conductive materials to improve battery performance.
Anode material development aims to increase the use of silicon instead of graphite to increase battery capacity and improve charging and discharging performance.
The company is working to overcome the problem of silicon expansion during the charging and discharging process.
Apple is also planning to launch a new battery commercially.
The demand for high-performance batteries has increased with the expanding use of technology such as mixed reality and the metaverse.
Apple's battery development has been known since 2018, and it has appointed a former Samsung official to oversee battery development.
There are reports on the use of a self-designed battery and the development of a smart car.
The new battery may be used in future iPads and MacBooks, but its main importance is for mobile devices.
