2020 iPhones Could Have Larger Batteries Due to Tweaked Circuitry

[everlast3434]

Personally I find the battery life in my 11 pro max to be just fine, but more battery is better.

You realize this years models already charge at 25 W? If they shouldn't charge at 25 W, then they shouldn't design them to charge at 25 W.

This year they provided for a 18W charger.
That’s more than enough. Let Huawei play with insanely rated 45W chargers...

Don’t forget with 120hz display it may need to keep getting better

It's about Tim how many years have we been asking for better battery life.

Get rid of the lens bump. Make it flush.

2020 iPhones may have a custom battery protection module that is nearly 50 percent smaller and thinner than the battery protection circuit in previous iPhones...

The smaller module could free up some internal space in iPhone 12 models, potentially paving the way for a slight increase in battery capacity.

You're reaching just a bit.

And in 2022, iPhones will enjoy, 4,000mAh batteries, QHD+ displays, in-display fingerprint readers, hole-punch front cameras, 30W fast charging, curved displays(where the screen wraps the edge of the phones) without any bezels.

And Apple will try to say they invented it(everything I just listed is stuff that Android phones have, but iPhones don't.)

Not so much a fingerprint reader as a pressure sensor.

I do not want an outdated design, I want the 5G however.

Then I don't know how you could prefer the X design. To me it's a step backwards. The 8 design is very solid and that's what works.

“make the apps default to the bottom?”

What does that mean?

As in the apps settle on the bottom of the display instead of the top. Why not just let the user place the apps wherever they want to on the display? I despise how iOS automatically places the apps on the top part of the display. My thumbs have better reach towards the bottom.

I really still have no idea what you are talking about. Apps take up the entire display. They are not placed on the top.

Probably talking about app icons when get installed or loaded first (new device setup) it is going to the top of the Home Screen by DEFAULT instead going to the bottom where the person can access!

You can always move the app icons anywhere in the home screen.
Since certain default app icons (like Settings, MAPS, Wallet) crowd the first page only limited app icons can be arranged in the first page but they probably get assigned to the top than at bottom for comfortable actions

Damn. Things just get better.

Oh no, larger battery the device is going to get heavier and possibly thicker, why can't Apple make it thinner and lighter, oh no the phone is too thin and light it breaks easily, hard to hold for prolonged period of time and it does not last the entire day I need a battery case to use it all day. /s

Well that covers all basis on this topic 😂

I bought a new iPhone 7 Plus 32GB and battery I just charge 1 per day. so far no problems....

They provided a 18 W charger. They provided for 25 W charging. The charger provided is slightly undersized.

Also worth bearing in mind the new battery casing design currently in one of the latest Apple Watch models that is supposed to be more space efficient than the current softer casing designs (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/26/apple-watch-series-5-battery-40mm/). If that technology makes it into the 2020 iPhones plus the circuit size saving talked about in this article plus hopefully continued improvements in component efficiency on top of all that plus the rumoured thinner screen assembly freeing up even more internal volume for the battery then 2020 might be another absolutely fantastic year for battery life increases. Dare we dream of another 30% increase over the 2019 models? I might even stop asking for more if that were to happen.

"The smaller module could free up some internal space in iPhone 12 models, potentially paving the way for a slight increase in battery capacity. "

..or other stuff

These phones are now starting to look like smaller iPad's in themselves.

Science Rules!

The "upgrade" in this case is getting rid of the Lightning port and moving to wireless charging only. Once that's done your requirement for a battery protection circuit is much reduced.

Now all you need to do is to add the wireless charging pad to stuff you carry around to keep everything charged. (And maybe a wireless dongle adapter, too.)

Apple have never been above using numbers to impress. They spend approximately $2,000,000,000 a year on marketing to impress (or do you think iPhones sell themselves).

The 2021 model ditches the lightning port I believe.

Yes! The app icons is what I meant. You can't put them wherever you want to. If you have one app on a page then it always defaults to the top left corner, the farthest place away from a right handed persons thumb.
