Apple Hired Soonho Ahn, the Samsung Senior Battery Executive To Build Its Personal Batteries.
Apple wants to build future iPhones with everything owned personally. Last time, Apple hired some chip makers and tried its best to replace Intel chips with its personally developed SoCs, though not yet successful, working still. That’s a similar situation with this new step, but who knows the results.
A recent report says Apple hired the Senior Samsung Executive, Soohn Ahn to build personal batteries for future iPhones. Ahn had been working for four years under Samsung New Battery Technology and is the recent senior employ for future Samsung batteries with cobalt (that’s the material using in Lithium-Ion batteries for outstanding performance). Now, Ahn made a major move step to say bye-bye Samsung and welcome Apple.
Analysts suggest if Apple is really serious about personal technologies and continue this work diligently; you might see the iPhones with Apple batteries in the next few years 2020 or so. For this year, Apple will announce iPhone XI, XI Max, and affordable iPhone XI R in September 2019.
