iPhone 13 to Adopt Battery Soft Board Technology, Saving Space and Reducing Costs [Report]

Apple's next generation iPhone will adopt battery soft board technology, saving internal space and reducing costs, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Soft board battery boards are not used in the new 5G iPhone 12 but could make their debut in the next generation 'iPhone 13'.

Jialianyi is expected to obtain about 40-50% of orders for battery soft boards for iPhone 13 and 13 mini. We predict that iPhone 13 will be the first iPhone model to adopt battery soft board technology, which will help save internal space and reduce costs.

The battery soft and hard version suppliers for the iPhone 12 series include Xinxing, Huatong, Yaohua and TTM, and the battery soft board suppliers for the iPhone 13 series are changed to Jialianyi, Xinxing and Huatong.

We believe that the number of battery panels for the iPhone 13 series is reduced due to the reduced number of suppliers, which will benefit the long-term profits of the suppliers. As a new entrant, Jialianyi is the biggest beneficiary of the iPhone 13 series’s switch to battery soft board design.
