Apple Reportedly Explores New ‘Battery Replacement Technology’

Apple may allow users to remove the battery with a small electric jolt without using tweezers.

According to a report, Apple is looking into using new technology that will make replacing the battery on future iPhone models easier. As part of its attempts to make the process of removing the battery from an iPhone easier, the Cupertino company was previously rumored to be redesigning the design of its battery housing.

Apple has not yet disclosed any intentions to increase the number of interchangeable iPhone batteries. This may be due to upcoming European Union regulations requiring removable batteries for electronic devices.

According to The Information (via 9to5Mac), Apple is developing an innovative method for changing an iPhone’s battery. A report citing sources familiar with the company’s intentions claims that consumers would be able to remove the iPhone’s battery by “administering a small jolt of electricity to the battery” thanks to a technology known as “electrically induced adhesive debonding.”

The batteries in Apple’s current iPhone models are secured in place by adhesive strips and covered in foil, so users will need to use tweezers to peel the unit out of the handset’s casing. You may learn more about this difficult process on Apple’s support page.

The report suggests that the company may choose to replace the foil-encased iPhone batteries in the future with metal ones, allowing the new technology to “dislodge” and replace the battery. The company will continue to advise customers not to attempt repairs on their own, even if this might be simpler than trying to remove the battery from the phone.

We can anticipate discovering more about the technology — if it exists — in the upcoming months when the iPhone 16 series will be revealed, given Apple’s tendency to cover up hardware upgrades and alterations until its products are unveiled.
