Apple could revolutionize battery removal with electric current-based technology, according to information released by a leaker.
Apple could once again innovate its approach to battery removal on future iPhone 17s, including the same technology already seen on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. This new system uses a low voltage electrical current, like that provided by a 9V battery or from a USB-C charger, to facilitate the process of removing the batteries without the use of traditional adhesives.
A more efficient system
According to well-known leaker Majin Buu, the system uses a particular adhesive that loosens when subjected to a small amount of current, simplifying the process compared to conventional methods. At the moment, only the standard models of the iPhone 16 range adopt this system, while the Pro variants still use the classic adhesive tabs. Next year, Apple is expected to extend this technology to all models in the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Pro and Pro Max models.
This solution could have a significant impact on the ease of repair of devicesin line with Apple’s commitment to sustainability and repair efficiency. The technology also offers a significant advantage in speed and accuracy over traditional methods, making it easier for technicians and end users to remove and replace batteries without complications.
Waiting for confirmation
Majin Buu shared a photo showing different sizes of the new sticker, corresponding to the four variants of the iPhone 17 line. Although other leakers have not yet confirmed this information, Apple has shown in the past that it wants continuously improve the repair experience for its users. If the adoption of this technology extends to all models, it would represent a major step forward in the sector.
In any case, as always happens with unconfirmed rumors, It is advisable to take this news with caution. Majin Buu, while successful with some past predictions, has not always been accurate. It will be interesting observe whether Apple will confirm these innovations during the next event iPhone launch scheduled for September 2025.
