For 2.5% bigger battery? Lol I guess Apple users should get excited over scraps, they rarely get anything good

5 iphone 15 pro maxs, all different colors, and all of them overheating like crazy. Scrolling caused the screen to skip like its running 5fps. I was trying to sell the iPhones overseas and had to convince a dude this was a new apple feature just so he'd buy it 🤣
‘Can’t wait for this’, ‘can’t wait for that’; it won’t do anything differently from current models. The watch 8 didn’t significantly improve battery life over the 7 moving to metallic battery casing. So, I definitely don’t believe there’s going to be anything radically different from what we have now, despite all the technical, environmental and ‘ethical’, mambo-jambo Apple would try to throw at us.
If anything they’d charge more. That, I’m sure! They took away leather cases and brought sh*tty woven nonsense - which costs more - that you use and discard the next day.

I hate the Dynamic Island. Its functionality is dubious, and it cuts into the wide aspect ratio videos. What was wrong with the notch?Won't everybody be surprised when the iPhone 16 comes out with no island, Apple will have moved on from that just like 3D Touch.
What kind of nonsense is this. Did Elon musk post this rumor or did he hack this account which had been there before he took over . What a stupid comment. Also I am pretty sure the same people i follow did not become a bunch of liars because of the person that owns it. Maybe you should follow better people

An Apple-designed battery is pretty exciting. Undoubtedly they've been working on this piece for a long time, probably since the beginning of iPhone. If they're ready to release it then they must have something really compelling to offer. I'm guessing 1-2 hours over the current batteries at same/similar capacity.
Twitter has always been a cesspool of lies and the lowest form of human behavior, the owner makes little difference
My iPhone 15 pro barely does half the day when my iPhone 13 was very good at battery life, it was burnin hot until the fix came, charge on official MagSafe is ultra slow, so I am not surprised they added a heat dissipator, it’s really really bad for a phone like that I never had any trouble with iPhones and I wish I could go back.
I want that battery to be 3year free of charge if needs replacement Apple you know you did this wrong!
I wanted to buy Apple care but they should give it to me already that thing is faulty.

I thought the battery in the 16 Pro (maybe all) lineup was supposed to get the stacked technology.
The overheating issue was because of IOS 17, not the a17 Pro chip specifically. Older iphones on IOS 17 were also experiencing the same issue until IOS 17.03 was released. My 15 Pro came with IOS 17.03 out of the box, and no heat issues whatsoever.
As far as the battery bump is concerned, it's nothing considering the phone will be 0.2" bigger, it's a stop gap once again.
Images purporting to depict a new battery designed for the iPhone 16 Pro today leaked online, showing a new metal casing and a slightly larger capacity.
The images come from the leaker known as "Kosutami," who has disseminated accurate information about Apple's plans in the past. If authentic, the images are the first to be shared of the iPhone 16's components.
The battery is said to be designed for an early stage iPhone 16 Pro prototype with a 3,355 mAh capacity. The iPhone 15 Pro contains a 3,274 mAh battery, meaning that prototype iPhone 16 Pro models currently feature a battery that is just 2.5% larger. The new battery also features a redesigned connector.
The most significant change is the transition from a black foil casing, the likes of which have been used on every iPhone model thus far, to a frosted metal shell. This change improves the thermal efficiency of the battery, with no significant impact on the component's weight. The Apple Watch used to feature batteries with black foil casing, but starting with the 40mm Apple Watch Series 7, Apple began adopting metal shells for improved thermals.
The new and old Apple Watch battery designs (via iFixit).
The early component images appear to confirm information shared last week that said Apple plans to introduce a new thermal system on the iPhone 16 to reduce overheating. In addition to batteries with metal shells on the iPhone 16 Pro models, the entire iPhone 16 lineup is rumored to feature a graphene heat-sink to reduce overheating. Graphene has high thermal conductivity, surpassing that of copper, which is currently used in iPhone heat-sinks. Apple has been interested in graphene for thermal management for some time, filing patents related to its exploration of the material for heat dissipation in portable devices.
The moves appear to come partly in response to widely encountered overheating issues experienced with the iPhone 15 Pro, which Apple ostensibly addressed through a software update earlier this year.

The heat dissipation improvement, will be welcomed, they should have done it on 14 Pro though 😏
I haven't encountered any videos that the DI cuts into unless you are forcing the video to fit screen width by cropping the top and bottom. And why is cropping the top and bottom ok, but cutting into one side is not.
you mean the triple camera of the iPhone it was used to take the pictures?It looks like it already has burn marks on it.
I don't follow anyone on X. I've never had an X account, and never will. Your angry response just confirms my belief that X is only populated with angry extremists, who will brook no dissenting opinions.
Oh, I think he's made a difference. He made it worse by opening it up to extremist views that used to be flagged as lies, or cancelled altogether.
So you never had an account, followed one single person or anything on there and never posted but you can think you can make a judgement about a platform you never used. And somehow I am an angry extremist because I accurately called your post nonsense.
Whether that is true or not what does that have to do with the person that posted the rumor on there. The Same person that had posted long before the current owner
So macrumors is an angry extremist account? interesting, yet you post on this forum run by apparently by your logic angry extremists , I would delete my account if I were YOU, I can't believe I follow such angry extremists like plex, the NFL, THE NBA, MLB, the wirecutter and so on.
Raise the price? or running out of ideas.. 0_0
I'm still waiting for Apple to tease a foldable phone
Hahhah dumbest comment of the day award goes to you , well done 👍👍😂😂
No, I'm alright. iPhone 15 Pro Max is one brilliant mobile device. I opted for 1TB for a good reason. It's here to stay.
