TDK Corp., a key supplier of iPhone batteries to Apple, will launch an upgraded version of its most advanced battery technology this year to address the increasing power consumption of AI features in mobile devices.
Mass production of these third-generation silicon-anode cells is scheduled to begin in late summer, according to CEO Noboru Saito.
Silicon batteries have been embraced by major Chinese phone makers and the upcoming 2025 edition is expected to have 15% better capacity than graphite-anode batteries.
Improvements in battery technology are steadily making notable progress.
