Hints of a removable iPhone battery buried in patent

A recent spate of patent applications filed by Apple and unearthed by AppleInsider detail an intelligent universal battery technology that could lead to a removable battery in a future iPhone model.

The Apple patent application details plans for a universal rechargeable battery that can be swapped interchangeably between, presumably, Apple devices. In fact, one patent diagram depicts a mobile phone with a port for the universal battery pack. If Apple does have real plans to bring this particular patent to life, it’s not too far a stretch to see a future iPhone outfitted with the removable battery technology.
