Massive iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Battery Upgrades Are Shot Down by New Apple Leaks

In recent weeks, there has been an increase in the consistency of iPhone 15 leaks, with leakers mostly agreeing on the most significant new features.

But shocking information about significant battery enhancements for all iPhone 15 models just came out, and prominent tech websites extensively reported it. 

According to a fictitious Foxconn employee who spoke with hit-and-miss website ITHome, Apple would give its next-generation iPhones battery capacity.

They are up to 18% higher than those of its iPhone 14 predecessors. These were distributed as follows:

• iPhone 15: 3,877mAh (iPhone 14: 3,279mAh)

• iPhone 15 Plus: 4,912mAh (iPhone 14 Plus: 4,325mAh)

• iPhone 15 Pro: 3,650mAh (iPhone 14 Pro: 3,200mAh)

• iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,852mAh (iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323mAh)

The announcement would have come as a genuine shock given that iPhone battery capacities have been largely consistent for years, but numerous sources have informed us that this isn't the case.

The precise capacities have not yet been revealed.

However, it is assumed that they will be similar to the iPhone 14 lineup.

Besides, the battery life that Apple provides and additional improvements are more likely to come from hardware and software efficiencies.

On a financial and technological level, this is very rational. 

Apple does not have to pay for larger or denser batteries from a financial standpoint. 

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are anticipated to switch to the more energy-efficient 3nm manufactured A17 processor at the same time, which will produce more power while using less energy.

While less efficient than the A17, the 5nm A16 chip seen in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max last year is a known quantity and provides outstanding battery life in those versions. 

It will be used in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
