We will have Silicon Carbon battery that has 2x energy density of normal lithium battery shipping on Smartphone later this year. Apple is very slow in new battery technology adoption, but one could imagine in a few years time this iPhone Air will have double the battery life.

They'll just use the improved battery density to make it wafer thin (with a big camera bump).

Which will mean they remove all buttons and connectors making it annoying as hell.

But it'll be cool.

who is 'we will have'? I've had this in my Oppo Find N5 for the last half year already. Bigger battery than any iPhone on the market including the upcoming ones. And that certainly wasn't the first on the market silicon carbon phone

>Oppo Find N5

The Oppo Find N5 only has about 55% ( IIRC ) battery density increase. We expect to have 100% increase by the end of this year.

So, we can buy this iPhone Air in a few years!
