La miniaturization It is something quite common in mobile technology, unfortunately batteries have not been able to make them smaller, and when it decreases its size it tends to proportionally decrease its capacity, something that companies want to avoid at all costs.
Apple has decided to fight to make the chips even smaller in favor of putting larger batteries in its devices. In this way, if not improve the capacity of the battery, at least maintain the duration of the load despite having included new capacities. This remains the Achilles heel in today's mobile technology.
According to DigiTimes Apple intends to adopt IPDs technology for peripheral chips in its products, that is, all those that are attached to the motherboard through flex cables because they correspond to elements of the device that are located at some specific end. In this way, it is intended to achieve not only a better general performance of the device because response times are shortened, but also the possibility of placing slightly larger batteries inside, and we already know what this means. It is not that Apple is working in this direction only thinking about the iPad, but that it intends to fully integrate it into its range of products such as the iPad, the MacBook and of course the Apple Watch.
Meanwhile, The Cupertino company works with TSMC and Amkor with the intention of obtaining positive results in the investigation of this technology.ogy. Everything indicates that we are far from seeing this novelty in future devices, especially if we take into account the few hardware developments that are expected for the iPhone 13 according to recent leaks. In the meantime, anything that is an increase in battery capacity will be welcome.
