Will Apple bring a major breakthrough to the iPhone 18 series?

Apple is reportedly working on new battery technology that could significantly increase battery life. Recent rumors suggest it could be a solid-state battery with new materials for the anode and cathode that promise higher density and capacity, as well as faster charging speeds. However, these improvements may not be available in this year's iPhone 17 lineup, but will have to wait until the iPhone 18, when Apple may also introduce a foldable iPhone model.

Apple must wait until the iPhone 18 series to adopt new battery technology

According to a report from popular leaker yeux1122 on South Korean social network Naver, Chinese vendors are looking to equip smartphones by 2026 with batteries with capacities ranging from 7,000 mAh to 8,000 mAh without increasing the thickness of the device. Both Apple and Samsung are also developing new battery technology to compete with this trend.

The Chinese manufacturers' batteries will use advanced silicon materials instead of traditional lithium-ion technology. Samsung has made significant progress in enhancing silicon in batteries without causing expansion.

Will iPhone 18 battery technology be different from competitors?

There is no confirmation yet, but Chinese vendors like Honor have been using silicon-carbon batteries for the past few years. Honor introduced the technology in Europe with the Honor Magic 6 Pro and recently launched the Magic 7 Lite with a 6,600 mAh silicon-carbon battery and 66W charging support. This shows that Chinese vendors are actively adopting the new battery technology in their products.

Silicon-carbon battery technology has been used by Honor for a while.

As for Apple, according to a report from yeux1122 , the company is developing an “all-new battery” by researching new materials for the cathode and anode to replace graphite with silicon without causing expansion. This could bring a major breakthrough in battery life for the iPhone, although it may not be ready this year.

In addition to competing with Chinese phones with large batteries, this new technology could also significantly improve battery life for the iPhone 18 Air and iPhone 18 Fold that Apple is expected to launch next year. However, this is still just speculation and expectations from long-time iPhone users.
