The iPhone 15 Pro may have improved battery life thanks to Sony providing energy-efficient components for its Lidar scanner and Face ID sensors. The A17 Bionic chip will also reduce electricity consumption.
The iPhone 15 Pro: A Game-Changer in Battery Life
The iPhone 15 Pro could stand out with their battery life. Thanks to a series of new components, Apple would indeed be able to inflate the endurance of its future flagships. We explain how.
Sony’s Leading Role in Lidar Scanner Production
According to Barclays analysts, there would be a change in the Lidar scanner side of the iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max. In a report relayed by MacRumors, British analysts believe that Sony should provide “the majority if not all” of the Lidar scanner components for both smartphones.
The Japanese company is expected to provide VCSEL sensors (Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser), which projects bright spots and maps an environment on these devices. Apple is turning away from its usual suppliers Lumentum and WIN Semiconductors due probably for energy efficiency reasons according Ming-Chi Kuo who agrees with this analysis.
Benefits on Energy Efficiency & Performance
This sensor improves rendering quality when using augmented reality applications or taking photos under low light conditions. The technologies provided by Sony are expected’s less energy consuming than those offered by other manufacturers resulting into better performance while ensuring longer battery life.
- Coupled with this new chip designed by Apple Silicon,
- To improve endurance capability,
- TSMC’s New Chip will play crucial role: “Reserved for the iPhone 15 pro,” TSMC says that chips engraved at three-nanometers require +35% less energy compared even against four nanometer SoCs like what was used as part A16 bionic processor embedded inside iPhones models such as IPhone14 pro.
