IPHONE 12 BATTERY SIZE LEAKED

IPHONE 12 BATTERY SIZE LEAKED

Apple isn’t known for putting massive batteries in its phones and it's like that isn’t getting to change for the iPhone 12 range. In fact, it seems these batteries could be even smaller than those within the iPhone 11 range.

MySmartPrice has spotted certifications for 3 new Apple batteries - likely intended for the iPhone 12 range - on three certification databases, namely those of Safety Korea, China’s 3C, and UL Demko (a Danish certification agency).

The batteries in question carry the model numbers A2471, A2431, and A2466, with the A2471 being 2,227mAh, a size that likely means it’s intended for the rumored 5.4-inch iPhone 12. The A2431 meanwhile is 2,775mAh, making it the center of the three and thus a logical fit both the iPhone 12 Max and iPhone 12 Pro (both of which are rumored to possess 6.1-inch screens).
Finally, the A2466 features a capacity of three,687mAh then is probably going intended for the most important rumored model – the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max.
For reference, however, the iPhone 11 features a 3,110mAh battery, the iPhone 11 Pro features a 3,046mAh one, and therefore the iPhone 11 Pro Max features a 3,969mAh one – and that’s despite the iPhone 11 Pro Max having a smaller screen than the iPhone 12 Pro Max is rumored to possess.

So that doesn’t bode well for the battery life of Apple’s upcoming handsets. That said, there's an opportunity that these batteries aren’t intended for the phones, or that the sizes are inaccurate. Even assuming they're right, size isn’t the sole thing that affects battery life, so Apple may have made some optimizations that improve battery performance.

In more positive news, mention of a replacement 20W charger has also been spotted in one among the databases. this is often something we’ve heard rumors of before and would leave faster charging than any current iPhone charger. However, while it's likely that this exists, there are suggestions that it won’t are available in the box. Rather, you’d need to pip out separately.

We should have a clearer, more official idea of the battery and charging situation in September, as that’s when the iPhone 12 range is probably going to be announced. Saying that, Apple never reveals the capacity of its smartphone batteries, so we’ll need to await a teardown after the phones are released to urge confirmation of their sizes.
