Why It Matters: This move signifies a key shift in Apple’s strategy. The tech giant appears to be stepping up its game by actively participating in the development process of its product components, starting from the raw materials.

According to a report, Apple may collaborate with Taiwanese battery manufacturers, including Foxconn and Advanced Lithium Electrochemistry (Aleees), for its car battery production. These companies are planning to set up plants in the U.S., potentially marking a departure from Chinese manufacturers.

This in-house battery development could lead to iPhones with significantly enhanced battery life that fits and works best with Apple’s silicon. Eventually, it will revolutionize the user experience for future mobile products.

If successful, this initiative could set a new benchmark for mobile device performance, further solidifying Apple’s position in the tech industry.
