The Information published a story that Apple had developed new “electrically induced adhesive debonding” technology to secure the battery in the latest iPhone, replacing adhesive strips. Apple has now confirmed that is the case, according to Engadget.

Apple Inc. is facing an unprecedented challenge: persuading customers to buy its latest iPhones without their biggest new feature.

Regulatory documents reveal the iPhone 16 battery capacities. The batteries are bigger than the iPhone 15 models - here's how they compare.

Apple claims that the new technology will make it faster and safer for iPhone owners and repair specialists to swap out the battery. It works by “running a low voltage electrical current through the new ionic liquid battery adhesive,” which releases the power pack from its enclosure.

Beary acknowledges Apple did announce some advancements. “Like I get it: There’s more memory bandwidth; Apple AI features will fun 15% faster in iPhone 16 Pro, which means that the regular iPhone 16 … the Apple intelligent features should run about the same as the Pro Max.”

The new AI iPhone is now available in Apple stores after hitting shelves in almost 60 countries around the world on Friday.

The iPhone 16 family has much bigger batteries than its predecessor, with the iPhone 16 Pro growing by almost 10% versus the iPhone 15 Pro.
