Apple Patent Aims To Improve iPhone's Battery Life
Folks at AppleInsider have discovered an Apple patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office earlier this week, which reveals that Apple is working on ways to increase the capacity of rechargeable lithium batteries used in iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, MacBooks etc.
The patent titled "Increasing Energy Density in Rechargeable Lithium Battery Cells" describes charging a battery using a "multi-step constant-current constant-voltage (CC-CV) charging technique."
AppleInsider explains:

"Apple could reduce the size of the battery life"??

Better battery life is always a plus! If my iphone 4 lasted as long as my ipad, I'd be happy!

I think they meant to say size

Battery life is a non-issue for me on my iPhone 4 (although I'm not glued to mine constantly like a lot of people are). I usually have between 40% and 60% every night when I plug it in to charge over-night. And for the occasional day where I use it a lot more heavily, I have charge cables in 3 rooms in my house as well as a spare one at work.Of course I wouldn't complain if they increased it even more for the iPhone 5... some people need that extra juice.My iPad's battery life is absurd (in a good way). For the amount I use it, I charge it once, maybe twice a week.Maybe I just don't use my iDevices enough???

As Fero mentioned, meant to say size of the battery. Thanks for pointing it out. We've corrected it.

in my opinion, battery life will always be a problem. with all the great features of the retina display, push email, apps, games, gps, push notifications, 3g service, speed, everything that makes it an iphone, will always have battery issues. with the phone getting smaller and smaller, and there being more features at higher speeds and higher quality and endless feature updates, the chances of a better battery life overall are very slim.

Longer battery life would be awesome. From home to work I use about 15% of the battery. By 5 I need to charge my phone.

Sounds like you need to manage your power consumption more carefully, turn your Wifi, and Bluetooth off unless you need it, make sure you dont have any unnecessary apps running in the background (sbsettings from cydia manages apps in the background very well). I use my phone alot throughout the day, and rarely see the 10% warning notification, unless im purposefully discharging the battery like you should do at least once a week.

When will this go into production, by Apple iPhone 6, when Android would have gone hitech too.

Lithium Ion batteries dont need to be discharged the way youre stating. That is only if you never use your device or it has incorrect battery reading and you want to reset it. They're made to partially partially discharged and charged again...

iPhone 4 meets my battery requirements but better battery life is always welcome... Suppose theres never enough

If you play infinity blade for an hour kiss your battery good bye.
