On June 28, local time on Thursday, according to The Information, Apple is studying the use of a new "electrically induced adhesive release" technology to make battery replacement easier for iPhone models. This is a countermeasure taken by Apple as EU legislation approaches.

Currently, if you want to replace an iPhone battery, you need to use tweezers to remove the battery fixed by adhesive, and then use a special machine and tray to press the new battery into place.

The report revealed some details of the technology: the battery will be covered with metal instead of the previous foil, and people can remove the battery by applying a small charge. But despite this, the sealant and screws of the iPhone screen make it difficult to disassemble the iPhone.

The report said that if Apple's new technology is gradually released "as planned", it will debut on at least one iPhone 16 model this year and will be expanded to all versions of the iPhone 17 next year.

EU legislation may require Apple to make iPhone batteries user-replaceable by 2025, but there may ultimately be some "exceptions" to determine whether Apple is affected by the rule.

According to previous reports, a white paper released by Apple on the 26th showed that battery health data (mainly maximum capacity and number of cycles) will be compatible with third-party batteries later this year:

Currently, devices using third-party batteries cannot display battery health data, such as maximum capacity and cycle count, to users. This is because Apple cannot verify the accuracy of this data. In fact, an internal Apple analysis found that some third-party batteries advertised as new were actually refurbished, with battery health data tampered with to look like new.

To improve support for third-party batteries, starting later in 2024, Apple will display battery health data and will remind you that the information has not been verified by Apple.

Apple said the iPhone will "better support third-party displays and batteries" later in 2024.
