Apple is expected to address the power management problems of its iPhones and a leaked part may have just confirmed the presence of fast charging technology.

The iPhone 7 has been rumored to come out with small enhancements but one feature that many will applaud is better power management. Apple has not exactly impressed as far as the battery life of its devices but a recent leak may have finally addressed that. .

Thanks to a recent tweet by “The Malignant”, a leaked photo of an alleged component of the iPhone 7 has cropped up. The best person to figure out what this piece would be though it seems to be a power management assembly that supports fast charging technology.


The leakster has been known to share stuff he picks up from Weibo, a place where a lot of leaks turn out to be authentic. If this part is indeed a power management assembly, then the power limitations may have just been addressed.

The next thing that most will want to know is how the spotted component can prolong the life of the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 Plus. If it is tied up with fast charging, would the 5V/2A rate be enough?

The good news is that the 5V/2A rate is the low estimate, referring to the base charge. It could go up and that should give eventual iPhone7 users longer use of their device, BGR reported.

Assuming that the said component is indeed included, it somehow ramps up the not-so-impressive features the iPhone 7/ 7Plus will have to offer.

To recap, other features include an A10 chip, improved antenna, larger internal storage, a vastly improved camera and a flush capacitive Home button according to Mac Rumors.

The 3.5 mm head jacks have been taken out and replaced by a Lightning port, something necessary to account for the iPhone 7’s thinner mold. According to Macotakara, there will only be two models coming out instead of the rumored three.

The iPhone 7 will be revealed on Sept. 7 with pre-orders expected to start on Sept. 9. Check out the video below as Brian Tong of CNet discusses the new iPhone features.
