IT House reported on March 27 that according to a list recently announced by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office, Apple has obtained a patent for iPhone batteries, which can increase battery capacity and extend battery life without increasing the size.
The patent was submitted in September 2021 and published on March 26, 2024. The patent name is “battery cells with tabs at right angle” and details the current status, challenges and breakthroughs of battery technology. plan.
In order to improve battery life, Apple has studied methods such as battery separators, folded separators, and coupled battery components in the patent to further increase battery capacity compared to existing solutions.
In the patent, Apple also outlines a labeling solution by adjusting the position, which means that future iPhone batteries can not only be made larger, but also use connectors and labels at different angles to help solve space issues.
Apple describes in the patent: “One set of connectors may have tabs extending from the surface in a first direction, and the other set of connectors may include tabs that are substantially perpendicular to the first direction, which not only solves the problem of space constraints. , and can also improve the resistance of the entire battery, thereby increasing the efficiency of the battery.”
