according to fast technology on september 14, the iphone 16 series was officially opened for pre-order last night, and many users grabbed the first batch which will arrive on september 20.

in addition to the sale, apple's official website also announced the cost of replacing the battery of the new machine.among them, the cost of replacing the battery of iphone 16 pro/max reached 969 yuan, an increase of 160 yuan compared to the previous generation of 809 yuan.

in fact, this cost increase was also expected. after all, apple has replaced its battery with a new stainless steel one this year, and the technology has been comprehensively upgraded, so the cost will naturally increase.

it is reported that this time the iphone 16 pro series is wrapped in a stainless steel shell, which has stronger integration. it also uses contact connection, which makes it more convenient to replace than before.

this design can also kill two birds with one stone, increasing the battery cell density by 5-10%.

in addition, combined with the cooling system of the entire machine, the stainless steel battery can also dissipate heat better and even assist in conducting the heat of the entire machine.

it is worth mentioning that apple’s battery replacement this year is also closely related to the new eu regulations, because local regulations require that the batteries in all household appliances and consumer electronics products (including mobile phones, game consoles, etc.) should be "easily disassembled and replaced" by consumers.

at present, the eu has forced apple to replace the usb-c interface and open up third-party side loading. it has to be said that it is really good at regulating apple.
