بنا به شایعات ، اپل موفق به طراحی یک باتری با ضخامت تنها 2 میلیمتر برای استفاده در آیفون 6 شده است

Apple Inc.’s rumored iPhone 6 is now expected to carry an even smaller frame as the company focuses more on slim contours, a move that raises the difficulty level for component makers as they reduce the thickness of battery pack, CNET reported. The next-generation 5.5-inch smartphone from Apple, which may already be delayed due to issues with the in-cell touch display panel, will now house a battery with a thickness of only 2 millimeters versus the current iPhone 5 battery size of 3 millimeters, according to the article citing a report from Taiwan-based media outlet Digitimes. The switch to smaller components including panels, chassis and battery packs for the iPhone 6 is challenging Taiwan-based component makers faced with designing for the thinnest Apple smartphone to date. Creating a new backlight is also an issue. Dates floated for the new iPhone’s release have fluctuated for months now, with the latest report saying the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will debut in August and the 5.5-inch will launch in September. Cupertino-based Apple is making a foray into the larger-smartphone market to better compete in China and with rival Samsung, which already sells large-screened phones.
