Phil Rosen for Business Insider:
Jacklyn Dallas, a video creator who reviews tech products on her YouTube channel, NothingButTech, told Insider that battery packs are one area of smartphones that haven’t seen much innovation relative to other software developments. That means any updates could present an opportunity for Apple.
The tech giant’s most recent release, the iPhone 14, offered marginal increases in battery life, they were not as significant as the jumps seen with the previous iPhone 13 model.
To be sure, the initial source said the information may not be fully accurate. The news broke via a private message on ITHome Weibo, and the source claimed to be an insider of Foxconn.
MacDailyNews Take: Importantly, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to be powered by the new A17 bionic chip built using TSMC’s 3nm process technology which will offer significantly greater efficiency and longer battery life, even if the battery capacities were to remain unchanged from the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Increased battery capacity + more efficient and powerful A17 + more efficient OLED driver + more efficient Snapdragon X70 5G chip = should equal impressive jump in battery life (and processing power). Looking forward to more rumors and then formal announcement in September!
15% boost is NEITHER “significant” or “impressive” but OK, better than nothing.
Now, 50% boost and up IS “significant” AND “impressive, Sheez fanboy…
See comment below re 10,000mAh Androids. Who wants a two inch thick iPhone?
Please list two-inch thick Android phone models, please. Whenever you are ready.
Regardless, my point was about semantics and over-hyping a minor improvement, NOT the thickness of the iPhone.
But obviously, you MISSED that totally…
@GoeB You got me. I couldn’t find a two-inch thick Android model, you’re welcome.
Regardless, my point was that it is possible that several key components, when combined as a whole, will allow for a more powerful iPhone AND increased battery life.
But, obviously, you MISSED that totally…
By the way, I did find a 10,000mAh Android for just US 249.99 – The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro Rugged. It is only 1.5 pounds and more than twice as thick as an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
@Try the Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro Rugged!
To the poster alternating screen names on the fly wrote: “Regardless, my point was that it is possible that several key components, when combined as a whole, will allow for a more powerful iPhone AND increased battery life.”
No, revisionism is not allowed when caught lying and I missed nothing. No two-inch Android phones as you admitted.
Case closed…
The iPhone should have the best battery life in the industry, for its size. Although it doesn’t stand a chance against those specialized Android smartphones with 10,000mAh batteries.
