The Information published a story that Apple had developed new “electrically induced adhesive debonding” technology to secure the battery in the latest iPhone, replacing adhesive strips. Apple has now confirmed that is the case, according to Engadget.

Regulatory documents reveal the iPhone 16 battery capacities. The batteries are bigger than the iPhone 15 models - here's how they compare.

As noted on Tuesday, Apple quietly took steps to improve the iPhone 16’s repairability. In addition to adding new items to the list of repairable components, the company introduced a clever new method for removing the phone’s battery. On Friday, Apple published step-by-step instructions for swapping out the new handset’s battery.
