iResQ has obtained a battery for the next generation iPhone and compared it to the battery found in the iPhone 4S.

Key Differences:
1. The iPhone 5's battery is slightly less than a half an inch taller than the iPhone 4S. The thickness appears to be identical. UPDATE - Although, the thickness appears to be the same, the iPhone 5 battery is ever so slightly thinner. With an eye test, the iPhone 5 battery is maybe 1-2mm thinner.

2. The iPhone 5 is 3.8V/5.45Whr while the iPhone 4S is 3.7V/5.3Whr.

3. The connector on the iPhone 5 is not only different, it is placed on the opposite side of the battery to accomodiate its new position within the iPhone.

4. The iPhone 5 battery weighs approximately .80oz. The iPhone 4S battery is approximately .96oz

Apple has announced an event for September 12th at which it is expected to unveil the next generation iPhone.

In #3 - You might want to correct the spelling of "accommodate". 2 Cs and 2 Ms. How does the proofreader get it wrong even with Spellcheck? In your opinion is it worth buying the S5?

This is the goophone i5. Search it you'll see.

Man, it looks like only Steve Jobs could keep a corporate secret. Now that he's died, there's not a single thing about the iPhone 5 that hasn't already been leaked. And you know what that means, as soon as it's released, all the "Experts" will decry that it offers "Nothing New" while it sets all new sales records.

Iphone 5 will be longer odd looking! And we now have bigger battery and the hardware performance is still the same as 4s. samsung releases new powerful smartphones every six months coz they love milking you while here in apple they give us the same thing every year with less improvements coz apple love us! (sarcasm)

Awesome, I haven't had really any battery issues on my 4S, but improved battery life is always better, my only real concern is when aftermarket vendors will begins manufacturing and distributing anodized colored housing frames for the 5 and colored LCD/Digitizer assemblies as well

As an iPhone user I can say that this is not true... There are soooo many a droid phones that have a much better battery that last a lot longer. So no, android people have the upper hand. Unless all if these pictures are failed prototypes.

The new battery is unlikely to be any more powerful than before. Instead, like the "New IPad", it powers the increased power demand of a larger screen at the same powerful resolution.

what moron buys phone with non-removable battery

Darryn - September 5, 2012 at 5:05am

People who don't want a phone that NEEDS the battery to be removed to work! I had to remove my battery from my Samsung numerous times when it froze and crashed. I prefer my iPhone. Never needed to remove it once to fix any crashing.

Where is this even going to be online to watch and why doesn't apple just live stream this shit instead of making it hard for everyone

Beside finding out their products before they're even made, Apple doesn't make it very easy to do much of anything .

Got the feeling you don't know much about marketing, creating hype and interest which leads to sales. That is the essence of business-sales. You've probably read by now that Apple is one of the largest and most profitable companies globally so they obviously know what they're doing. So I guess we should all be listening to your words of wisdom...NOT.

Keep an eye on YouTube. People tend to upload them ;)
