Thanks to the key integration technology first adopted by Apple in the AirPods Pro wireless headset, future 5G iPhone models will likely have larger capacity batteries or more compact battery modules than existing mobile phones.
DigiTimes reported today that Apple is seeking to combine system-in-package (SiP) and flexible printed circuit boards (FPCB) in the upcoming 5G iPhone cell phone battery module to replace the existing rigid-flex PCB that it has relied on for many years. solution.
According to the source, Apple has incorporated the SiP + FPCB solution into its new AirPods series and may apply the solution to the battery module of the 5G iPhone. Part of the reason is that SiP can integrate multiple functions and provide more components. More space. Now, because Apple has successfully controlled costs, it is comparable to rigid-flex PCB solutions in terms of cost performance.
As more functions are integrated into mobile phones, Apple will increasingly be able to design new systems for larger capacity batteries. These features will obviously increase Apple’s cost, so for the 2021 “iPhone 12s” product line, the company has been seeking to adopt cost-cutting hybrid battery panels that can be smaller without affecting battery life or size. Same, but higher capacitance. According to reports, the combination of SiP + FPCB is another potential solution that Apple is seeking.
According to sources interviewed by DigiTimes, if Apple decides to integrate a similar SiP + FPCB solution for the new iPhone in 2021, the current suppliers of battery modules for the iPhone may be significantly affected.
