Ming-Chi Kuo, an industry insider, has revealed potential upgrades for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, focusing on improved battery life through increased energy density and a new stainless-steel battery case design. This design not only enhances robustness and compliance with EU regulations but also addresses thermal issues, potentially preventing overheating problems seen in previous models. Kuo suggests that if successful, this battery technology could extend to all iPhone 17 models in the second half of 2025.
