The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus batteries use an innovative type of adhesive that can be loosened with a weak electrical current from a 9V battery, USB-C charger, or other power source. While the change doesn't apply to the iPhone 16 Pro models, it's now rumored to affect next year's iPhone 17 Pro models.
iPhone 16 Pro Battery
According to a blog post today from a leaker known as Majin Boo, who has experience with Apple rumors, the electrical battery extraction process will apply to all four iPhone 17 models coming next year, including the iPhone 17 tentatively called iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The leaker shared a photo of the new adhesive in four different sizes that could fit the four iPhone 17 models.
In Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max batteries still feature stretchable adhesive tabs, like many previous iPhone models.
While other sources have yet to confirm this rumor, extending the electrical battery extraction process to all four iPhone 17 models at least sounds like a reasonable possibility. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September.
Majin Boo accurately revealed the “Desert Titanium” color name for the iPhone 16 Pro models seven months before the devices' launch, but some of his information turned out to be incorrect, including the rumor that the iPad 11 was supposed to launch last year.
From the information I was able to obtain, it looks like the entire iPhone 17 series will feature new battery adhesives and will use electrically induced adhesive peeling technology. Full article: https://t.co/A3y6Z103ss pic.twitter.com/r13FYGRs4q — Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) October 10, 2024
