Apple's iPhone 11 Pro, a device that's been around for almost seven years, has been given a new lease on life with a 12,000mAh battery swap. This upgrade challenges the notion that Apple faces space constraints in its devices. The battery sizes in the latest iPhones are gradually increasing, with the eSIM version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max boasting the largest cell at 5,088mAh. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to surpass this capacity, but the assumption that Apple couldn't add bigger batteries due to space issues has been debunked by this recent video. The Fix, a YouTube channel, demonstrated the process of replacing the iPhone 11 Pro's battery with a 12,000mAh unit, which retained the same physical size as the original cell. This means there were no compatibility issues with the iPhone 11 Pro's design. While Apple discourages the use of unofficial batteries, the technology has been widely adopted by its Chinese competitors for years, making the 12,000mAh upgrade relatively safe. The process was straightforward, and the new battery is a significant upgrade, offering a 330% increase in capacity. However, the rated capacity was shown as 10,000mAh instead of 12,000mAh. This practice raises questions about Apple's battery choices, as it could be a deliberate decision to use smaller batteries to avoid defects in its large-scale production. The argument could be made that Apple prioritizes safety over battery size, and this upgrade proves that there's no space constraint holding them back. But here's where it gets controversial... Is Apple intentionally limiting battery size to avoid potential safety issues? And this is the part most people miss... The video also highlights the potential risks of using unofficial batteries, which could be a topic of discussion among users. So, what do you think?
