iPhone 7 to Have Larger Battery - Rumor

According to the latest report from an unknown user of the Chinese social network Weibo, the next generation iPhone called the iPhone 7 may feature a slightly better battery than the iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus. As noted by the user, the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will get a 1735 mAh battery and the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 7 Pro will be equipped with 2810 mAh battery. In case you don't know, the current iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have 1715 mAh and 2750 mAh respectively. It is currently unknown how the better battery will affect the thickness of the devices, but rumors suggest that new handsets may become thinner than their predecessors.

Battery capacity and battery life are different things of course. Although additional capacity gives the device more power budget to play with, the efficiency of the components will influence the final battery life ratings. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus represented a significant downgrade in capacity but battery life remained constant, for example.

Apple is expected to release the updated handsets in September. There are many rumors connected with the devices, but Apple hasn't yet commented on a single one.
