The upcoming completely new ultra-thin Air iPhone 17 can be the first Apple smartphone, in which the advanced battery technologies were accepted, and the Japanese TDK supplier is preparing to send their new generations of silicon-node batteries by the end of June.

According to Digitimes, the general director of TDK Nobor Saito showed in a recent interview that Apple, the supplier, accelerated its production activities, moving shipping resources originally planned in September. This can give manufacturers of smartphones enough time to use cells in thinner models launched this year, he proposed. The thinnest point, according to the Analyst Apple Ming-Chi Kuo.
TDK batteries use silicon for anodes instead of traditional graphite, which allows them to pack 15% more energy in the same space compared to conventional batteries. This promotion may be the key to maintaining an adequate battery life in such a thin form of factor. While Wayne Ma information claimed that the device will have a “worst” battery life compared to the previous iPhone models, Mark Gourman from Bloomberg proposed a more optimistic forecast, saying that the battery life will be “at the current iPhone level” thanks to the equipment and optimization of the software. Clarify. The next generation battery can theoretically use pure silicon anodes, which can store 10 times more lithium ions per gram than current materials.
TDK is already working on its fourth -generation silicon batteries, according to the general director of the company. “We plan to introduce fourth-generation silicon batteries somewhere in the next financial year in order to expand our leadership even more,” Sito said, arguing that “Batteries of mass production of silicon batteries require special know-how. It’s not that you could do this, just connecting the materials. ” A typical Apple release schedule.
