Next iPhone 5 battery mah?

Research at the University of Maryland discovered that using a tobacco virus can increase the capacity of a lithium ion battery by tenfold. I'd love it if Apple could utilize this. Imagine cutting the battery size, device weight and still increasing battery life.

If recent leaked photo's of the iPhone 5 battery are for real, it looks like chambone was right. 1440 mAh would be a deal breaker for me

Why? What's important are the phone's usage specifications. Talk time, standby, web browsing etcetera. Who cares what the battery capacity is when those numbers meet or exceed those of previous devices? The beauty is that -while new operating systems tend to use slightly more resources- hardware gets more efficient very quickly over time.

I'm still holding out hope that Apple utilizes new battery technology as previously mentioned by NT1440. Even if that is the case, I won't be the first in line to get one. I will reserve judgement until after I take in some real world reviews.

Well, considering I have been participating in this thread since it began, I would think that would be obvious

Don't overlook the fact that the battery runs at a higher voltage than the 4S. This should offset the LTE requirements:

A bump of just 0.1V in the battery of Apple’s next iPhone could easily make up the 10% difference needed for a low-power LTE chip.

If they use the new 28nm LTE chip, a 32nm A5 and this Broadcom chip (40-50% more efficient) I see no reason why battery life won't be on par or just a bit better than the 4S.

The single biggest battery drain of a smartphone is the screen being on. Usually that takes up 80% of the juice a smartphone has. Hopefully the IGZO or whatever new screen helps out with that tremendously.

Some real interesting stuff, eh?

Seriously, if anyone wants to see the future of devices, look at the patents....just another side note, take a look at Apple's physical touchscreen ideas

Its an interesting patent. I'm assuming its covering the shape behind the bezel? I'm not really following the patent to well, lithium ion polymer batteries have been used for over 10 years.

Since the electronics within the phone could always be shaped around the battery I don't think we'll see much benefit except maybe a thinner device if that's important to you.

I really hope the phone will last longer than the 4s
