Even though we\u2019re a few months removed from the upcoming iPhone 8 release, rumors involving the iPhone 9 have already started trickling in. Presumably referring to Apple\u2019s 2018 iPhone model, a new report\u00a0from\u00a0The Korea Economic Daily<\/em><\/a>\u00a0relays that Apple has tapped LG to be the exclusive battery supplier for the iPhone 9. As the report notes, Apple\u2019s decision here represents a slight departure from the company\u2019s traditional operating strategy. Specifically, Apple often likes to use a multitude of suppliers for various iPhone components, a strategy that helps it secure favorable pricing while also offering a hedge against any unforeseen technical or manufacturing hurdles.<\/p>\n

Having said that, it\u2019s perhaps possible that the battery performance and design LG is working on is sufficiently impressive as to convince Apple to go all-in with just one supplier. The report adds that the battery on the iPhone 9 will be L-shaped, a design said to have been made in the interest of optimizing internal space, a feat which becomes increasingly more of a challenge with each successive iPhone release.<\/p>\n

The battery that LG Chem will supply to the iPhone 9 is an \u201cL-shape\u201d battery, which is bent to the right at the bottom. Apple has customized it to take advantage of the space on the bottom right of the iPhone that has evolved from the development of electronic component integration technology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Citing a source purporting to be familiar with the deal, the report adds that LG has already \u201cinvested hundreds of billions of won\u201d into revamping its facilities ahead of mass production which is said to kick off sometime in early 2018.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, we\u2019ve also seen rumblings that the battery on Apple\u2019s flagship iPhone 8 may also feature an L-shaped battery. Originally brought to the surface this past February, reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo a few months back said that the iPhone 8 will incorporate a stacked logic board design that will allow\u00a0for a larger battery<\/a>, as evidenced by the illustration below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And while we\u2019re on the topic, rumor has it that battery life on the upcoming iPhone 8 will be even greater that what the iPhone 7 Plus delivers. As a point of reference, the iPhone 7 Plus can support 13 hours of LTE browsing, 15 hours of Wi-Fi browsing, or 60 hours of wireless audio playback on a single charge. If the iPhone 8 can exceed these metrics in a relatively compact form factor, it would serve as yet another selling point on an already compelling device.<\/p>\n
