Samsung SDI preparing high density batteries for Apple

We informed you earlier about the Samsung SDI’s experiment that it is been working on the minimized substrate stacking technologies. It has successfully applied the tech to electric automobiles and has recently won orders from Apple.

Recently ‘Business post‘ revealed that Samsung SDI is renovating its domestic production line to make a new type of battery, which it will supply to Apple. Samsung SDI is ready with all the R&D for its 6th generation battery and had already started the production of the 5th generation of batteries for electric vehicles a year ago.

Stacking the battery components to be more tightly packed, and increasing the density helps in more storage of power instead of the conventional method for the same volume.

The new batteries will be produced at the Cheonan plant in Korea. Apple is currently using an L-shaped multi-cell battery for its iPhone, and it is understood that several batteries are connected to this battery.

So, Apple may adopt Samsung SDI high energy density batteries to save internal space and reduce the weight of the iPhone by getting away from its multi-cell design.

Samsung SDI has won the confidence of Apple by earlier supplying batteries for MacBook and iPad models in the past. It would be the first time that SDI will supply it for iPhones. Samsung could feature the batteries for the first time in Galaxy S23 series which is to be released later in 2023.
