The iPhone 13 is visibly powered by a 25% larger battery than that of its direct predecessor, the iPhone 12. According to a teardown that appeared online, Apple has revised the layout of the components to integrate this imposing accumulator.

True to form, Apple did not mention the exact battery size iPhone 13 during the presentation keynote. During the conference, the brand’s executives were content to talk about the autonomy of the new smartphones. Apple claims to have greatly improved the autonomy of all models.

According to the Cupertino giant, the standard iPhone 13 offers 2.5 hours more battery life than the iPhone 12. The gap is mostly meaningful video streaming. On its official website, Apple announces 19 hours of battery life when playing streaming videos, compared to only 11 hours for the iPhone 12.

This teardown reveals the guts of the iPhone 13

To achieve boost the autonomy of the iPhone 13, Apple has integrated bigger batteries at the heart of his phones. According to a filing on Chemtrec’s website, the standard model would be powered by a 12.41 watt-hour battery, up 15% from the iPhone 12’s 10.78 watt-hour battery. .

He notably revealed the design of the iPhone 5 or several iPads. He obviously managed to get his hands on an iPhone 13 before the release in stores to carry out a teardown.

We can see all of the bowels of the smartphone. Apple has visibly rearranged the components that make up the smartphone, in particular the modules necessary for the operation of Face ID in order to reduce the size of the notch. The dot projector, which recognizes the user’s face, has been moved to the left.

The CPU and GPU are respectively 10/20% and 16% larger than those of the iPhone 12. Note also that the Taptic Engine, the technology that makes the screen vibrate slightly in response to certain user actions, is a bit smaller.

Above all, the teardown confirms that Apple has increased the size of the battery. IPhone 13 is powered by an accumulator 25% larger than its predecessor. This is why the smartphone offers a much greater autonomy than last year’s model.
