The Information published a story that Apple had developed new “electrically induced adhesive debonding” technology to secure the battery in the latest iPhone, replacing adhesive strips. Apple has now confirmed that is the case, according to Engadget.

Regulatory documents reveal the iPhone 16 battery capacities. The batteries are bigger than the iPhone 15 models - here's how they compare.

Apple has confirmed to publications including Engadget that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus have a new electrically-induced battery removal

Apple claims that the new technology will make it faster and safer for iPhone owners and repair specialists to swap out the battery. It works by “running a low voltage electrical current through the new ionic liquid battery adhesive,” which releases the power pack from its enclosure.

As you can see, most iPhone 16s have had around 6% more battery capacity compared to last year. The only exception being the iPhone 16 Pro, which has an additional 9.4% power reserves. Considering our testing found the iPhone 15 Pro had the worst battery life of the 2023 iPhones, that extra capacity is definitely welcomed.

Apple’s iPhone 16 and 16 Pro are now on sale – with the company looking ahead to the launch of its AI features. The new tools, named Apple Intelligence, are being marketed as one of the main reasons to buy the new phone line-up.
