Although it doesn’t feel like it, we are almost midway through July. And as we approach September, and the expected launch of the iPhone 12, the rumours are flowing in fast. After reports about the iPhone 12 variants, screen sizes, and display panels, we now have information about the batteries that may be used for the iPhone 12.
Reducing the battery capacities of the iPhone doesn’t sound like such a good idea. While Apple never really mentions battery capacities at launch, the company does boast longer battery life in terms of extra hours of usage. It’s hard to see how a smaller battery could still deliver performance not only at par, but better than the iPhone 11 series.
The new A14 chipset might result in some performance and efficiency gains, and Apple may want to trade that for reducing the thickness of the iPhone 12. However, as we saw last year, customers are more than happy using a slightly thicker iPhone that lasts considerably longer than any other iPhone.
