How the Next iPhone Will Take a Huge Step Forward for Mobile Devices
Reports surfaced this week that the next iPhone may include a battery that lasts an entire week. And, unlike many gadget predictions, this one is based on scientific fact.
A company called Intelligent Energy has developed a prototype battery using a hydrogen fuel cell that matches the size of the current iPhone 6. Telegraph suggested the British power company is working "closely" with Apple on the design for what could become the next iPhone. Whether that’s true is a good question, and we might not get any details for a year or two after the rumored iPhone 6s comes out with battery such as samsung SB-L110A Battery, samsung HMX-H106 Battery, samsung HMX-H100 Battery, samsung SMX-F30 Battery, samsung IA-BP85SW Battery, samsung VP-DX10 Battery, samsung SB-L110G Battery, samsung VM-C5000 Battery, samsung VP-D5000 Battery, samsung VP-M110 Battery, samsung VP-M2100 Battery, samsung VP-X110 Battery.
Hydrogen fuel cells have an added benefit: They are safer for the environment. I'll spare you the deep science, but fuel cells basically create a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. There's nothing but a vapor trail. They do not release any toxins.
Intelligent Energy already offers a backup charger called the Upp that can power any phone, so the technology is already in the wild. I've tested fuel cell backup batteries before, and while they are a little weird (you usually have to add a little water to a capsule, and they almost seem like a science experiment), the advantages for business users are that they last so long on a charge and tend to be small and light.
How would a weeklong battery in your phone change how you work? For me, the main benefit is in not having to keep chargers and cables around and babysit the device constantly. I've used Samsung phones before that last a week if you enable a special long-battery life mode (which makes the screen gray and disables some features and wireless connections). It was a godsend for conferences and longer business trips, when you never know if you can charge up easily, even if a screen looks like a feature phone.
