Apple is reportedly working on improving the cooling system for the iPhone 16 series and now we have the first evidence with leaked images of the iPhone 16 Pro battery model, according to GSMArena .
The images come from a leaker known as Kosutami, who has accurately leaked information about Apple's plans in the past.
According to the leaked image, the iPhone 16 Pro's Li-Ion battery has a capacity of 3,355 mAh and is manufactured by China's Desay Company. It has the same J shape as the battery on the iPhone 15 Pro series. The iPhone 15 Pro has a battery capacity of 3,274 mAh, which means the iPhone 16 Pro battery will have a 2.5% larger capacity. The new battery also has a redesigned connector.

The most important change is the switch from a black membrane casing, like what has been used on every iPhone model to date, to a matte metal casing. This change improves the thermal performance of the battery without significantly affecting the weight of the component. The Apple Watch previously used a battery with a black membrane casing, but starting with the 40mm Apple Watch Series 7, Apple began adopting a metal casing to improve heat dissipation, according to Macrumors .
These leaked component images appear to confirm information shared last week that Apple plans to introduce a new cooling system in the iPhone 16 to reduce overheating. In addition to the metal-cased batteries in the iPhone 16 Pro models, the entire iPhone 16 lineup is rumored to feature a graphene cooling pad to reduce overheating. Graphene has high thermal conductivity, surpassing copper, which is currently used in iPhone cooling pads. Apple has been interested in graphene for thermal management for some time, filing patents related to researching the material for heat dissipation in mobile devices.
These measures are in response to widespread overheating issues with the iPhone 15 Pro, which Apple addressed through a software update earlier this year.
