Apple making it easier to remove batteries, iPhone 17 Pro models to come with…
As per a post by industry insider Majin Bu, the new electrical battery removal method will extend to all four models of the iPhone 17 series.
iPhone 17 series may make it easier to remove batteries, according to a recent leak. Unlike the current iPhone 16 Pro models, that rely on traditional stretch-release adhesive pull tabs, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus use a novel adhesive that can be loosened using a low-voltage electrical current from various sources, including a 9V battery or a USB-C charger.
As per a post by industry insider Majin Bu, the new electrical battery removal method will extend to all four models of the iPhone 17 series, which are expected to be unveiled next September. iPhone 17 series is said to comprise iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and a new iPhone 17 Air. Majin Bu has also shared an image showing the new adhesive in four different sizes, presumably tailored for each of the iPhone 17 models.

While no other sources have yet confirmed this rumour, the idea of an electrical battery removal system seems plausible and aligns with Apple's ongoing efforts to improve device sustainability and repairability. Majin Bu has a mixed reputation when it comes to Apple leaks; he accurately predicted the "Desert Titanium" colour for the iPhone 16 Pro models seven months prior to launch. However, some of his claims, such as the imminent release of an iPad 11 last year, have not materialised.
