The current rumor has it that the next-gen iPhone’s battery will be able to get over power consumption and space-related hurdles, potentially allowing for longer battery life than ever. Rumor has it that this year’s flagship “iPhone 8” will boast a large 2,700 mAh battery, on par with the high-end 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus. The next-gen iPhone is said to have dimensions similar to the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, which features a 1,960 mAh capacity battery, while the iPhone 7 Plus has a 2,900 mAh battery. It’s thought that Apple will pull this off by shrinking the parts inside its flagship next-gen handset, which is rumored to debut in September. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to use a stacked logic board, called a substrate-like PCB mainboard, to allow more space inside of the “iPhone 8” chassis. By shrinking the size of the mainboard, Apple may be able to allow for greater energy efficiency. The one-two punch of a larger battery and more efficient parts has led Kuo to predict that the “iPhone 8” could boast even better battery life than the iPhone 7 Plus. It’s also rumored that the next-gen iPhone will switch to an OLED display, thereby abandoning the legacy LCD panels found in all iPhone models to date. This could allow for a longer battery life given that OLED displays do not require a backlight and are typically thinner than their LCD counterparts, once again freeing up more valuable space within the iPhon ...
