Why does this say iPhone battery? It seems that it could work for any phone. You even mention the Galaxy Fold for a comparison. And it seems this technology is not mature enough now for phones according to your article, so unless someone holds on to their phone for years, it's not likely to be their next.

Most likely, that’s because Apple is the one funding this research.

Wrong, Apple did not fund or support this research at all. The Australian Research Council (ARC) provided the main research grant support.


The title could have easily been "Your next phone battery could charge in 3 minutes and last 60,000 cycles"


but i PhoneArena loves clickbait titles

I believe to quote the article it said "Could this new battery power the next iPhone or Galaxy" phone?" and in both cases this is pure wishful speculation.

This is misinformation at best. First it describes a technology then it proceeds to say it's not feasible on phones. Well F you then. I guess you did manage to milk an article for clicks and traffic.
