00:00 We had some info on the new iPhone and it will please Apple fans.
00:03 One of the clichés and points quite critical on recent smartphones is the ultra-weak autonomy of the latter.
00:11 To fill this big flaw, Apple would be developing a new method to manufacture its iPhone batteries.
00:16 And if I told you that there would be a common point between smartphones and electric cars, would you believe me?
00:22 The autonomy of smartphones has become the nerve of the war for a few years.
00:25 And we saw it with the latest models from Samsung or even Asus, the battery lasts much better for a whole day compared to the references released around 2014-2015.
00:34 In April, Samsung had already communicated an information according to which their next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24, will use a new method to manufacture its battery.
00:43 Apple is greatly inspired by it and according to the liquor RG Cloud S, we should even find the same procedure for the iPhone 15.
00:49 But then, what technology is it?
00:52 We are talking about the battery stacking, already well known for electric car manufacturers.
00:56 The goal here is to stack different materials, including anode and cathode, in order to offer batteries capable of storing more energy.
01:02 Of course, if the process was above all used in the electric car industry, it is mainly because it took space.
01:07 And now, this technology is sufficiently mastered to miniaturize it and make it fit into the frame of a smartphone.
01:13 And for 2-3 years, it is mainly software optimization that has allowed some high-end smartphones to enjoy better autonomy.
01:19 Of course, the batteries themselves are of better quality, but a big change of this kind could bring us back to the good old days.
01:25 You know, the one where your big brother said, "In my time, the Nokia 3310 only lasted 40 days."
01:29 We may not go there, but it is above all a major advance.
01:32 Especially since, according to rumors, Apple could finally change the charging port of the iPhone to go to USB-C.
01:38 Android and Apple smartphone users will be able to use the same charger.
01:42 Besides, as I said before, it is not only Apple that will take advantage of this new method.
01:46 The future big-brand Android smartphones, like Samsung for example, should just as much take advantage of it.
01:50 And still according to the same sources, Apple could continue to develop the technology by offering larger batteries for the iPhone 16,
01:57 like recent Android smartphones.
01:59 Overall, we are on an improvement in autonomy, it remains to be seen how much this will evolve.
02:03 Will we be able to use our iPhone for 2 more hours before charging it, or will it be a real revolution?
02:08 Daily Tech is over for today, we'll see you soon for the rest.
