iPhone 16 possesses extreme battery technology that no Android company can do.

This technology was developed by Apple in anticipation of EU regulations.

According to The Information, Apple is developing technology to simplify iPhone battery replacement, expected to launch later this year.

This move is intended to meet new EU regulations requiring smartphone manufacturers to ensure users can replace batteries themselves with easily accessible tools by 2025. According to sources involved in the process iPhone production, Apple is working on using "electrically activated adhesive separation technology" to achieve this.

The current iPhone battery replacement process requires using tweezers to pull out the adhesive strip 

The current method of replacing iPhone batteries is quite complicated, involving removing adhesive strips with tweezers. If these adhesive strips tear during this process, additional steps using heat, or solvents are needed to remove the adhesive. After removing the old battery, a specialized tray and machine are needed to safely install the new battery.

In contrast, the new technology Apple is testing involves wrapping the battery in metal instead of black foil. Images said to be of an iPhone 16 Pro battery with a metal case were leaked earlier this year. By applying a low voltage current, the new battery can be quickly separated from the chassis. Despite this improvement, users still need to open the iPhone themselves, which is still complicated by the use of glue and screws to hold the iPhone screen in place and maintain water resistance.

This new battery replacement method is expected to launch on at least one iPhone 16 model later this year and could be expanded to all iPhone 17 versions next year. Apple is expected to continue to recommend that users seek professional help for battery replacement, due to the complexity and potential risks involved in the process.

The battery is said to be from the iPhone 16 with a metal shell.

Apple could be exempted from EU regulations requiring consumer-friendly battery replacements if its devices meet certain criteria, such as maintaining 83% battery capacity after 500 charges full and 80% after 1,000 full charges. iPhone 15 meets the criteria for 1,000 charges, but previous models do not meet the 500-charge requirement.

While Apple has a history of delivering devices that are difficult to repair due to their airtight designs that increase water resistance and durability, the company has taken steps to address these concerns by introducing new options. choose self-repair and provide diagnostic tools in recent years.
