Probably. Some fanatical bureaucrat that doesn’t understand trade offs between usability, engineering, cost, and technology is writing them right now.Is there going to be a requirement to have removable batteries in phones in the future?

Or they just don't want people to freak out when feeling one tiny heated spot on their phone case.It seems like they added some thermal dissipation extension on the board cover. My guess is the A17 Pro runs really hot as well...

But, to the ppl who are going to do a TEAR DOWN? I’ve seen some of the historically developer and now influencer contracts, and tear down and connecting to systems to query all internals is a no no. PRIOR to general release.Apple sends them out.
TechInsightsWhat is the name of the company that does indepth die analysis for the chips usually?
The heatcover is 1:1 with 14 Pro. I already posted a link to video showing that. The battery is just few mAh more.The battery is bigger …but life is the same despite going to a smaller die size. Is something broken about the A17 that apple is avoiding? There are additional heat covers for the processor. Is the A17 a bust?
This new sports car has 30% more horse power and 30% better fuel economy and the same size gas tank? Are you bleeping kidding me.This is just crazy just incremental small changes the battery size for the last year models? Are you bleeping kidding me
I’ve said this in other threads, but I think the apple reported battery life - essentially the same as 14/pro is a hedge, or under promise over deliver.The battery is bigger …but life is the same despite going to a smaller die size.

I don't understand what you want? Why are you expecting huge changes every year? Just don't buy one. I'm so confused as to the anger.This is just crazy just incremental small changes the battery size for the last year models? Are you bleeping kidding me
Let the conspiracy theories begin! I'm not sure that is a team you want to be on in 2023 though.But, to the ppl who are going to do a TEAR DOWN?

Also, clearly this group that did the tear down is trying to front run ppl like iFixit who have historically always gotten the first units (by getting them in AUSTRALIA) on release day, and fast tracked the tear down. That is historically in compliance with what the embargo agreements put in place.
Now, it seems that either apple has eliminated some of the restrictions (which I doubt) or someone SOMEWHERE did something that is going to get them in hot water soon enough should apple choose to pursue it.
Higher clock, more ram, more transistors, one more gpu core…The battery is bigger …but life is the same despite going to a smaller die size. Is something broken about the A17 that apple is avoiding? There are additional heat covers for the processor. Is the A17 a bust?

For the watches, battery life is essentially the same and yet early testers indicate that battery life seems to be better by ~10% or more in some cases for the AWU2
That's a smaller battery than I was expecting. An earlier rumor had the battery at over 4000 mAh. Ah well.There doesn't seem to be much space for more battery .
As much as I wanna hate on 'em for putting such small a batt, I fail to see where they coulda put it
Probably pay a YouTuber that gets the phone early for theirs temporarily so they can do articles, videos, etc.I was wondering that too! How'd they get it early?
Me too mate, me too. Rumor was pointing to sth like 37xx I believe. Perhaps next year ? Tbf apple didn't give a **** about battery for years (till 11 series)That's a smaller battery than I was expecting. An earlier rumor had the battery at over 4000 mAh. Ah well.
Is the requirement "replaceable" or "swappable?"This is why I think Apple knew about this in advance and may make the iPhone 16/16 Pro models so the battery pack can be easily user-swapped. Mind you, this may result in a physically thicker phone.
