A Apple plans to produce the iPhone in the future with thinner chips and thus gain space to accommodate larger batteries, solving its historic power problem. According to information from Digitimes, the company wants to increase the adoption of IPDs (integrated passive devices), semiconductors that are smaller than the current ones and offer better performance. Partners TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) and Amkor would supply the parts and be part of the transition process, which should also cover other products from Apple like the iPad and MacBook.

Although it is not known which products of the Apple will have the new chips, it is likely that the future iPhone 13 will already have this composition, especially because of the battery. Information from insiders indicates that the company's next smartphone will have a much higher capacity than its predecessors. The Pro Max line, for example, would jump from 3687 mAh in the iPhone 12 to 4352 mAh in the 13, which would make it the smartphone of the Apple with the highest capacity in history — currently, the position is occupied by the iPhone 11 Pro Max, with a 3969 mAh cell.

There is also speculation that the new MacBook Pro model and the much-anticipated iPad Mini 6 will have this increased capacity. It is worth noting that the rumors are in their early stages and Apple should only officially comment on this new manufacturing method next month, when the iPhone 13 hits the market.

Apple wants to change its image of lower capacity batteries

iPhones have never stood out for their large battery capacity, despite the fact that the company creates the hardware and software that allows them to be very well optimized. In any case, in absolute terms, they lag far behind top-of-the-line Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21, with a capacity of 4000 mAh, or the OnePlus Nord 2, with 4500 mAh (and I haven't even mentioned others with much larger batteries). The problem extends to the American company's smartwatches, such as the Apple Watch 6.

It is worth mentioning that, when iOS 14.6 was launched, some users noticed that the update was draining iPhones battery, causing slowness and performance issues, but this was resolved in an update. It's good to see that, in addition to the updates, Apple is concerned with increasing the capacity and autonomy of the batteries of its future iPhones and other devices.
