MySmartPrice It has spotted certifications for three new batteries from Apple that it believes could be for the next line of iPhone 12, even though they are less capacitive than batteries in the current iPhone 11 series.

The batteries are identified by model numbers A2471, A2431, and A2466, and appear in Safety Korea, 3C of China, and the Danish agency UL Demko.
Apple is expected to launch four iPhones this fall, including one 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and one 6.7-inch model. MySmartPrice It has interpreted that the different capacities belong to the following PiPhone 12 models (assuming the top end iPhone 12 Max and iPhone 12 Pro share the same battery):
- Apple PiPhone 12 (5.4 inch) – A2471 – 2,227mAh
- Apple PiPhone 12 Max (6.1 inch) – A2431 – 2,775mAh
- Apple iPhone 12 Pro (6.1 inch) – A2431 – 2,775mAh
- Apple PiPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inch) – A2466 – 3,687mAh
Apple improved the capacity of its batteries in the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, which have heavier and thicker batteries than those used in previous XS and XS Max models. The PiPhone 11 Pro has a 3,046 mAh battery, compared to the 2,658 mAh battery in the iPhone XS, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 3,969 mAh battery, compared to the 3,174 mAh battery in the iPhone XS Max.
The PiPhone 11 Pro Max has the longest battery life of any iPhone, lasting up to five hours longer than the iPhone XS Max per charge.
If these batteries are intended for the iPhone 12 series, the numbers are likely to disappoint some in anticipation of Apple’s next line of smartphones. The capabilities are especially daunting given that Apple vendors were reportedly developing a custom battery protection module that’s 50 percent smaller and thinner than the same component on previous iPhones.
The iPhone 12 series is rumored to also have higher battery demands than previous iPhones, meaning Apple would have to make some serious improvements in energy efficiency to last as long as current-generation models. All four devices are expected to have OLED displays, 5G support, a new iPhone 4-type metal frame, up to 6GB of RAM, up to 3D-sensing triple-lens rear cameras, and more.
