iPhone 16 battery density increased; stainless steel housing – Kuo

According to a new supply-chain report, the iPhone 16 is expected to feature a battery with increased energy density, potentially offering longer battery life or a smaller battery size. Additionally, Apple may switch from an aluminum to a stainless steel battery housing, which could impact the phone's weight and heat dissipation. These changes are seen as a way to comply with EU regulations for easier battery replacement.
