A new manufacturer has allegedly cooked up a battery thin enough for the body of the rumored biggest-screen-yet iPhone.
Apple may have solved at least one challenge facing its much-rumored 5.5-inch iPhone 6.
Unable to coax the right type of battery for the phone out of certain suppliers, Apple reportedly has discovered a white knight in the form of a company known as Simplo. Calling itself the "world leading battery pack designer," Simplo has purportedly done something no other manufacturers could do: create a battery thin and light enough for the biggest-screen-yet iPhone 6, according to the G for Games site, citing a report from Taiwan's Economic Daily News.
Rumors popped up in April claiming that the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 was facing production delays due to bottlenecks in the battery design. Apple reportedly wants to equip the large phone with a thin body. But that goal has created obstacles for manufacturers that would need to design a battery no more than 2 millimeters thick. Smartphone batteries typically are 2.8mm to 2.9mm thick.
