iPhone 18 might get a major battery breakthrough
The iPhone 16 has terrific battery life, which I can attest to as a former iPhone 16 Plus owner. Battery life was the least of my worries, and I miss only having to charge the iPhone every other day. It's not just the Plus and Pro Max that have better battery life, but all iPhone 16 variants.
As we approach the launch of Apple's iPhone 17 series, I expect Apple to keep improving battery life on at least three of the four models. The rumored iPhone 17 Air will likely have to compromise battery performance so Apple can make the phone as thin as possible.
I hope the iPhone 17 generation delivers the big battery breakthrough rumors teased in previous years. Apple is supposedly developing new battery tech that would allow it to increase the iPhone battery life significantly. Rumors have mentioned solid-state batteries in the past, as well as new materials for the anode and cathode. The next-gen batteries would have higher density in addition to higher capacities, and they might support faster charging rates.
However, this big battery upgrade might not be ready in 2025. Instead, we may have to wait until the iPhone 18 series rolls out, which would be perfect timing because it might include a foldable iPhone model.
