　　Recently, CNMO noticed that a whistleblower shared a picture of the iPhone 16 battery pack, revealing an important innovation in battery technology for Apple's upcoming new mobile phone. The battery pack features a unique metal housing design, a change that has attracted a lot of attention from the industry compared to traditional flexible foil packaging.

　　It is reported that the battery case of the iPhone 16 is made of metal materials, and this design not only retains the familiar shape of the battery pack, but also achieves a higher battery capacity. Compared to the iPhone 15's 3,597mAh capacity, the iPhone 16's battery capacity has been improved, and the exact number has not yet been announced, but it is expected to bring users a longer battery life experience.

　　The introduction of the metal casing is said to improve the heat dissipation performance of the battery. Previously, the iPhone 15 series suffered from overheating issues after its release, and although this issue has been resolved through a software update, Apple clearly hopes to further prevent similar problems through hardware-level improvements.

　　Although the use of a metal case may increase the weight of the iPhone 16, the design decision is clearly deliberate, considering the heat dissipation and capacity gains it brings. At the same time, the metal case could also mean that Apple has adopted new technologies inside the battery that may require a stronger case for protection.

　　Industry experts believe that the inside of the metal case may use battery technology with higher energy density, which can help increase the battery capacity without increasing the thickness of the phone. For example, the vivo X Fold3 Pro uses a silicon carbide (Si/C) composite battery to achieve a large battery capacity of 5,700mAh.
