IPhone supplier Tdk unveils next-gen silicon batteries

Tdk Corporation, one of the main suppliers of batteries for Apple Inc.’s iPhones, will introduce a new generation of silicon-anode batteries in 2025.

Mass production of these batteries is planned for late summer, according to CEO Noboru Saito.

These batteries, developed by Amperex Technology Ltd., deliver 15% more energy density than traditional graphite-anode batteries.

They are already featured in mobile devices like Vivo X200 Pro, which offers a 6,000mAh battery within the same size as a 5,000mAh device.

Group14 Technologies Inc., Tdk’s supplier of silicon anodes, is also exploring applications for EV, highlighting faster charging times as a significant benefit.
