New photos posted by Nowhereelse.fr [Google Translate] claim to give us another look at a 2,915 mAh capacity battery from the 5.5-inch model of the iPhone 6.
The battery in these latest photos appears identical to one detailed in a leak last month from Chinese site Apple Daily, down to the March 2014 manufacturing date. The authenticity of either part is unconfirmed, but both batteries have markings similar to other Apple batteries and appear to be sized for a larger iPhone model. Both are also still from the prototype stage, with placeholder text used in several locations on the batteries.
A 2,915 mAh capacity battery would be a considerable jump from the 1,560 mAh battery that powers the iPhone 5s. Earlier rumors said an 1,810 mAh battery is destined for use in the 4.7-inch iPhone 6. A 5.5-inch iPhone 6 would allow a much larger battery size, giving it more power, which would be needed, considering the larger 5.5-inch screen would have a much higher pixel count.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 6 on September 9. The new handsets are expected to include a fast A8 processor, a thinner more rounded body, and improved cameras on both models.
Re/Code reported last week that Apple will also be introducing the much anticipated “iWatch” wearable device at the September 9th event.
