Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 series is set to deliver longer battery life, thanks to a significant battery upgrade. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech giant is increasing battery energy density while ensuring safety by enclosing the cells in a stainless steel casing.

Apple's rumoured move to a stainless steel battery case is a proactive step towards meeting these regulations while enhancing user experience.
