iPhone 16 Stainless Steel Cases Will Meet EU Rules And Improve Battery Life 'By 5-10%,' Says Key Apple Watcher Ming-Chi Kuo
In May, supply chain analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to enhance the battery life of its iPhone 16 series by adopting stainless steel cases. Now he says, this step can help Cupertino meet EU regulations while also increasing the device's battery cell density.
五月份，供應鏈分析師郭明錘表示，蘋果公司(NASDAQ:AAPL)計劃通過採用不鏽鋼機殼來增強iPhone 16系列的電池壽命。現在，他說，這一步可以幫助Cupertino符合歐盟法規，同時增加設備的電池電芯密度。
What Happened: On Sunday, Kuo, an analyst at TF Securities, took to X, formerly Twitter, and said Apple's move to stainless steel cases for its next iPhone iteration will not only comply with EU battery regulations but also increase the battery cell density by 5-10%.
發生了什麼：週日，TF證券分析師郭明錘在X，即Twitter上表示，蘋果將其下一代iPhone機型採用不鏽鋼機殼不僅符合歐盟電池法規，而且還可以將電池電芯密度增加5-10%。
He also stated that the design change will make the batteries easier to replace. "The new iPhone's adoption of a stainless steel battery case not only reduces the difficulty of removing the battery to meet EU regulations but also allows Apple to increase the battery cell density by 5-10% while meeting safety requirements, achieving two goals at once," he said.
他還表示，這種設計變更將使電池更易更換。他說：“新iPhone採用不鏽鋼電池盒不僅降低了取下電池的難度以符合歐盟法規，而且還允許蘋果在滿足安全要求的同時將電池電芯密度增加5-10%，一舉實現了兩個目標。”。

Why It Matters: In last month's report, Kuo said that the iPhone 16 Pro Max would feature a battery with increased energy density and a stainless steel housing. The change in battery housing from aluminum to stainless steel was expected to result in weight savings while maintaining the same battery life.
在上個月的報告中，郭明錘表示，iPhone 16 Pro Max將配備一塊電池，具有更高的能量密度和一個不鏽鋼外殼。電池外殼從鋁製改爲不鏽鋼預計將達到減重的效果，而保持相同的電池壽命。
Meanwhile, Apple has been under scrutiny by the EU for allegedly violating the Digital Markets Act, particularly with its App Store policies. The tech giant could face a fine of up to 10% of its global revenue if it fails to comply with DMA guidelines.
與此同時，蘋果一直受到歐盟對其App Store政策的指責。如果他不能遵守DMA準則，這家科技巨頭將面臨全球營業收入的10%的罰款。
Earlier this month, Apple announced that it would exclude certain features from its upcoming operating systems for EU customers due to regulatory concerns related to the DMA. These features are Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring to macOS Sequoia, and SharePlay Screen Sharing.
本月早些時候，蘋果宣佈，由於DMA相關的監管問題，將從其即將推出的操作系統中排除某些功能，包括Apple Intelligence、iPhone Mirroring to macOS Sequoia和SharePlay Screen Sharing。
