Another day, another iPhone 7-related rumor or leak of some sort. This is becoming the norm as we’re approaching the September event where Apple will finally make its new handset official.

This time around, a “pretty reliable” source apparently thinks the iPhone 7 will ship with a 1,960 mAh battery. That would be great news for lovers of good smartphone battery life, considering that its predecessor, the iPhone 6s, has a 1,715 mAh cell.

Pretty reliable (not 100% but almost…) source told me #iPhone7 battery = 1960mAh (#iPhone6s = 1715mAh)

So we’re looking at an increase of over 14% in capacity if this turns out to be true. There’s one thing to keep in mind here, though: OnLeaks, the leakster publishing this rumor, says the source behind the info hasn’t been 100% accurate before – just “almost”. So this obviously may not pan out.

But let’s hope that it does, for battery life has been a pretty neglected aspect by Apple for the iPhone 6s. Now the 14% bigger battery capacity won’t necessarily turn into 14% better battery life for the average iPhone user, but it’s still good to have. And if Apple does go this route, we assume it will make the iPhone 7 Plus battery bigger than the one in the 6s Plus too, but it’s unclear by how much.

Although iPhone 7 will up to 1960 mAh, it may be still not enough for people like me who rely on my phone. Also wonder why iPhone has much worse battery performance than Android devices?
