Apple’s Next‑Gen iPhone Batteries: Easier to Remove?
The Sticky Saga of the Current Model
Up to now, the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 have used a special adhesive that keeps the battery glued in place. In order to pry it out, you need a low‑voltage electrical current – a process that feels more like a tech wizard’s spell than a DIY fix. Thankfully, the Pro variants skip this sticky trick entirely.
What the Leak Says
Armed with the alias Majin Bu, a leaker recently posted that the low‑voltage approach will carry over to the iPhone 17 lineup: iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Pro. So, there are a few key takeaways:
- All 17‑series models will likely need the same electrical “dislodge” trick.
- Pro‑line phones—even the new 17 Pro—follow this pattern, unlike the 16 Pro’s adhesive‑free design.
- Owners hoping to swap batteries will have to get their hands on a handy low‑voltage device.
Why This Matters
Think about it: your battery might hop out with the flick of a plug, or you might spend hours hunting the right tool. With Apple reportedly simplifying the process, the frustration of a stubborn battery could finally be a thing of the past.
In Short
Apple seems ready to say goodbye to the hectic battery removal ritual. Thanks to the upcoming 17 series, a low‑power trick is likely the new go‑to—making life a little sweeter for each of us who ever wrestled with a glued‑together phone.
iPhone 17 Could Be the Next Sticky Marvel
Did Apple Finally Tap Into the Power of Electrons?
In a jaw‑dropping move, “Majin Bu” flashed an image that looks nothing short of a sci‑fi experiment for the upcoming iPhone 17 series. The snapshot showcases a sleek new adhesive that’s supposedly powered by electricity—a nifty way of saying the phone might stick to your desk like a magnet.
Size Matters: Four Models, One World‑Changing Glue
The photo shows the adhesive in different dimensions, hinting that Apple may roll it out across four distinct models. While nobody else has called this out yet, it’s entirely plausible—and could even become the next iPhone buzzword after “Face ID” and “A18 Bionic.”
- Electro‑Sticky Power: the adhesive responds to the smartphone’s circuitry.
- Universally Sized: works on every model in the lineup.
- No Big Leak Yet: still awaiting confirmation from under the hood.
”Fingers Crossed!”
If Apple pulls this off, we’re looking at a future where your iPhone won’t just stay in your pocket but could lean against your wall, making “sticky” a brand name as big as “Apple.” Until then, let’s keep our hopes—and our hands—rested on the “bumps” of rumor.
