Apple iPhone 15 Series Will Have Bigger Batteries, Says Foxconn Insider

A recent rumor originating from a purported insider at a Foxconn factory in China suggests that Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 lineup will feature notable improvements in battery capacity across all four models.

The rumored battery sizes for the Apple iPhone 15 Series are as follows: the Apple iPhone 15 with a 3,877 mAh battery, the Apple iPhone 15 Plus with 4,912 mAh, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro with 3,650 mAh, and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max with 4,852 mAh.

It's worth noting that these rumored increases in battery capacity are significant, and if they turn out to be true, Apple's devices would likely perform exceptionally well in terms of battery life. This would mark the first time that any iPhone model comes close to the 5,000 mAh mark. Furthermore, considering Apple's reputation for optimizing their in-house designed chips, the battery life on these devices is expected to be outstanding.

Nevertheless, I'd like to highlight that many Android smartphones currently available in the market still offer larger battery capacities compared to the speculated battery sizes for the iPhone 15 lineup.

In line with a previous rumor, it is speculated that this year's iPhones will have a slightly thicker form factor compared to their predecessors. This would make sense if larger batteries are being incorporated into the devices, as a thicker design allows for more space to accommodate the increased battery capacity.

In our earlier Apple iPhone 15 Pro Case Leaked story, I surmised that models in the 2023 Apple iPhone 15 Series could look almost exactly like their counterparts from 2022. Hence, these images of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and 14 Pro, respectively, give us a glimpse of how Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro could end up looking. With this latest rumor, though, I now expect the upcoming models to be a bit thicker and heftier.

Another rumor from Weibo, often referred to as China's Twitter equivalent, suggests that the base storage for the iPhone 15 Pro will be doubled to 256GB, whereas the non-Pro models will retain the current 128GB base storage. This potential difference in storage capacity between the Pro and non-Pro models would serve as an additional distinguishing feature.

It's important to approach these rumors with caution as they are unofficial and subject to change. However, if these reports hold true, it's evident that Apple is making strides to enhance the battery life of their iPhone 15 series. (Source)
