The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature physically larger batteries, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, likely to compensate for the increased power consumption of an always-on display.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says he expects the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to feature larger batteries and the devices will, as a result, appear “slightly larger overall.” While longer battery life is always a top wish for customers, the inclusion of a larger battery on this year’s high-end iPhones is likely a direct result of the inclusion of an always-on display.
Like the Apple Watch Series 5 and later, the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro models are widely expected to feature an always-on display that will always showcase essential information and visual elements from the redesigned iOS 16 lock screen. The always-on display will display information such as the time, date, and widgets and include tinted and darkened versions of some wallpapers customized by the user, MacRumors reported.
