“A Weibo report has surfaced that indicates the iPhone 7 may have a slightly larger battery than the current generation iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus,” Benjamin Mayo reports for 9to5Mac.
“According to the poster, the iPhone 7 will include a battery with a 1735 mAH capacity and iPhone 7 Plus will feature a 2810 mAH battery,” Mayo reports. “On both models, this is (slightly) more than the current-generation iPhones. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have batteries with 1715 mAH and 2750 mAH respectively.
“The iPhone 7 is rumored to look very similar to the current iPhone, with a thinner body and redesigned antennas,” Mayo reports. “A major chassis design change is currently expected for the ‘iPhone 8’ in 2017… Even if the Weibo rumor comes true for iPhone 7, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will still have had the best battery capacity of any iPhone, with 1810 mAH and 2910 mAH batteries.”

MacDailyNews Take: It’ll be every interesting to see how Apple markets the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus if the rumors of slight changes are true.

Great. Now with 1 hour more talk time and 2 hours more listening to Apple music. How amusing.
If Apple reinvents the phone on 2007 maybe it’s time to reinvent the battery in 2017.
And Ahmad, just how do you want Apple to reinvent the battery? Have you some insight or engineering advice to pass on to them? This may come as a shock to you but it’s just not as easy as you making a request. There might be some actual science involved 🙂
It may sound impossible, but impossible is what Apple has been doing ever since.
Apple could invent a phone that’s waterproof. That way if it falls into an ocean it doesn’t break.
If you get water inside your phone, it breaks. I know because I have 30 of phones of my own.
Has anyone ever complained that a portable device has too much battery life?
