The iPhone 8 will be smaller but with the battery of the Plus

The battery is one of the most relevant aspects in current smartphones and yet one of the elements that has evolved the least in recent years. Companies try to squeeze the smallest space from their devices to the maximum to fit the largest possible battery, and With the new iPhone 8, Apple will have to make bobbin lace because if the rumors are confirmed, the smartphone will be smaller than the current one, although it will maintain the same screen size. However, it seems that it has found a way to include the same battery of the iPhone 7 Plus in a device the same size as an iPhone 7.

Indeed, thanks to the fact that the frames of the next iPhone 8 will be reduced to the maximum, the size of the 5,5-inch model will be practically identical to that of the current iPhone 7, whose screen is only 4,7 inches. This means less space for components, and among them is the battery. How is Apple going to get a 2.700 mAh battery to fit in a device of that size? Changing the way the phone's internal components are placed. Apple will switch to a "stacked" arrangement of its components, so that what now occupies 1/3 of the surface of the smartphone occupies only 1/6, leaving more space for the battery.

How to reduce so much the space that the components occupy? Using several layers of circuits. What is currently placed in a single layer can be cut in half if we divide it in two. In this way we can use an "L" battery with a higher capacity. If we add to this that the OLED screen will be more efficient than the current LCDs, and that it is also rumored that the iPhone 8 will have fast charging and induction charging., it seems that the battery is going to be a point that Apple is going to take care of in its next iPhone.
