Since it was founded, the Apple has undergone countless changes, ranging from CEO changesChief executive officeror executive director.”>1 even changes to the address of your main headquarters. One thing, however, remains intact: the philosophy that, to develop a good product, it is necessary to control both the hardware and the software — an idea that, according to ET News, may be very close to expanding to the world of batteries.
According to a report released by the vehicle, the Cupertino giant would be developing its own batteries with the expectation of improving the autonomy of devices such as the iPhone. It would even be studying the use of alternative cathode and anode materials, drastically increasing the silicon content, to improve the performance of battery modules, as well as increase their useful life.
One of these materials (cathodic) developed by Maçã, with the aim of reducing the use of graphite, would involve a mixture of nickel, cobalt, manganese e aluminum — something unlike any drum today. Carbon nanotubes would also be in the company’s plans to increase the performance of this type of component.
A greater amount of silicon in batteries, however, has its negative points. This material, for example, tends to expand during the charging process, but, according to the information, Apple has already managed to overcome this problem.
Among the devices listed to receive this new technology is the Vision Pro, which has an external lithium-ion battery with an autonomy of just two hours. If Apple is successful in this endeavor, we could see a new generation of the headset with a drastically better battery.
Even so, it will still be a while before we see Apple present devices with this type of technology. According to the information, this should only occur after 2025which may change (for more) depending on the challenges encountered in the development of the components “Apple-designed”as the company itself has already mentioned.
So let’s wait.
