There have been a few new photos of the battery for the next-generation iPhone. The part shows only a minor increase in capacity from 3.7V/1430mAh/5.3Whr in the iPhone 4S to 3.8V/1440Ah/5.45Whr in the rumoured iPhone 5. There have been no dimensions provided to compare the size of the battery to the current iPhone batteries.
The new iPhone is expected to include LTE data networking for the first time. LTE has traditionally required more power than the currently supported 3G networks. Apple's Tim Cook said that the reason that Apple hadn't used LTE in iPhones is due to the "design compromises" required to build such a device. This has widely believed to have referred to the increase power requirement of existing LTE chips. Qualcomm is poised to release a new LTE chip that Anandtech believes will likely increase LTE battery life to reasonable levels".
