Will the iPhone 5 Battery Have Enough Power?
Apple fans are inhaling every speck of information about the soon-to-launch iPhone 5. Here’s another morsel to chew on. While most iPhone rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt, sometimes they're backed by hard, irrefutable evidence. This report seems to be one of those. A photo of the battery, which appeared on 9to5Mac, shows a 1440 mAh model that’s only marginally better than the 1420 mAh unit that powers the iPhone 4S. If the new battery had been used in the 4S, the difference in battery life would be negligible. How it’s going to perform in a more powerful iPhone 5 has me wondering. Bear in mind that other rumored features -- which I think are real one -- will require significant more power. Among them: a bigger screen, LTE, Apple turn-by-turn mapping and dual-core processing.
