Apple Watch Ultra 2 has become a battery life powerhouse, thanks to its larger size compared to the Apple Watch Series 9. The added internal space allows for a bigger battery to be fitted inside, and with new technology advancements, battery capacities could increase even without increasing the physical size of the batteries.
TDK, a current supplier of batteries for Apple, has developed a material for solid-state batteries that could potentially increase battery capacity for wearables such as the Apple Watch. These new solid-state batteries have the potential to offer capacities around 100 times greater than their current technologies. This makes them ideal for devices that are meant to be worn continuously, such as wireless earbuds, hearing aids, and smartwatches.
Not only do these new solid-state batteries offer higher capacity but they may also charge more quickly than previous technologies. This breakthrough in battery technology is recent and may not be available for the upcoming major Apple Watch X anniversary update. However, it’s promising and could revolutionize the way we power our devices in the future.
In addition to wearables, TDK’s new battery technology could also be utilized in coin cell batteries, which could potentially be used in products like the AirTag. As such, it’s important to stay informed about this exciting development in battery technology and learn more about how it can benefit our daily lives at iMore.
