The iPhone 12’s battery was kind of disappointing when you look at its predecessor, the iPhone 11. However, Apple is said to be making things right with the iPhone 13 where according to the rumors, it will come with a larger battery. While that remains to be seen, a new report suggests that an internal redesign is what could allow Apple to fit in larger batteries.
This report comes from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce who claims that one of the internal changes we might be able to expect is a redesign of the charging circuit board.
According to the report, “The iPhone 13 will see a shift in its charging circuit board from the previous rigid-flex PCB design to a new design featuring SiP combined with flexible PCB. The space-saving feature of this new design will also likely result in increased battery capacity.”
While we can’t corroborate those claims, we can only help but hope that they are true. At this point in time, it is unclear how much bigger of a battery we are talking about. However, it should be noted that the iPhone 13 is also rumored to come with a 120Hz display, so any potential battery gains could be offset by the newer displays.
The report also goes on to claim that Apple is expected to maintain the same pricing as the iPhone 12, so if you were worried about a price hike, you might be in luck, although since it is still a rumor/prediction, maybe don’t give it too much credence just yet.
