Apple claims that the new technology will make it faster and safer for iPhone owners and repair specialists to swap out the battery. It works by “running a low voltage electrical current through the new ionic liquid battery adhesive,” which releases the power pack from its enclosure.

Beary acknowledges Apple did announce some advancements. “Like I get it: There’s more memory bandwidth; Apple AI features will fun 15% faster in iPhone 16 Pro, which means that the regular iPhone 16 … the Apple intelligent features should run about the same as the Pro Max.”

Apple points out that its latest smartphones are "built for Apple Intelligence." To make that happen, the company developed a new smartphone chip -- the A18. The iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus will be powered by the A18 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max versions will have the A18 Pro chip inside them.

Keep your Apple iPhone 16 looking as pristine as the day you unboxed it with these cases for every type of user.

The new AI iPhone is officially available in Apple stores, hitting shelves in almost 60 countries around the world on Friday morning.

The iPhone 16 family has much bigger batteries than its predecessor, with the iPhone 16 Pro growing by almost 10% versus the iPhone 15 Pro.
