As rumors suggest Apple could unveil a new 16-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon could be unveiled at WWDC next week, a new regulatory filing adds more fuel to the fire. A new report today spotlights that Apple supplier Sunwoda Electronic filed a listing for a new battery in April, potentially destined for the 16-inch MacBook Pro update.
As first spotted by MacRumors, this is the same regulatory database from which battery statistics for the iPhone 13 were potentially revealed earlier this week. Details about the specific database are unclear, but both filings were made by Apple supplier Sunwoda Electronic.
The battery revealed today features an Apple-like model identifier of A2527 and is rated for 8,693 mAh/11.45V. This is slightly smaller than the 8,790 mAh/11.36V battery used in the current-generation 16-inch MacBook Pro. Any difference in real-world battery life, however, will likely be negligible due to the much higher efficiency of the Apple Silicon chip that Apple will use in the 16-inch MacBook Pro released this year. In fact, it’s likely that the new model will offer longer battery life than its Intel predecessor because of the efficiency improvements.
