There was a lot of outcry about the iPhone 15 Pro overheating when it was first released and although Apple claims to have fixed the problem, it still persists for some users, indicating that it is not entirely a software problem. Apple wants to make sure the problem doesn't happen again this year, and as a leaked image of the iPhone 16 battery shows, it's made some changes to prevent the phone from becoming fried.

Apparently, Apple initially opted for a glossy surface, but later switched to a frosted metal shell. The metal shell will likely distribute heat better than the current solution. Apple also reportedly redesigned the connector.

Leaked Images Indicate iPhone 16 Pro Battery Will Have Metallic Coating

This change was first disclosed in November by tipster @KosutamiSan, who also said the phone could switch to a graphene thermal system, as graphene offers better thermal conductivity than copper.

According to the leaked images, the iPhone16 will have a 3,597 mAh battery, which should allow it to last longer than the iPhone15.

We do not know if the iPhone16The battery will have increased density for longer life and will have a stainless steel battery case instead of an aluminum case. Both of these changes have been rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

But not all iPhone 15 Pro users have been experiencing overheating issues, it's always nice to see Apple taking a proactive approach.

With all the AI features that would be integrated into the next operating system, the new phones could generate more heat than the current generation, and heat dissipation measures should prevent them from becoming unbearably hot.
