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.

Apple has confirmed to publications including Engadget that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus have a new electrically-induced battery removal

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.

While there’s no doubt that the pricier Pro models of the iPhone 16 series are better, with improved and larger displays, a third camera, that gorgeous titanium build and more, this year’s iPhone has a lot in common with the Pro. To the extent that for many people, the Pro adds bells and whistles they can manage without.

Apples iPhone 16 lineup features notable battery upgrades across all models, with improved efficiency and faster MagSafe and USB-C charging, making them a solid choice for users prioritizing longevity.
