Apple's iWatch will not use solar power

Apple will not use solar energy for its iWatch, according to "internal sources" according to a new post Korea Herald. Instead of using solar energy, the company will use an “enhanced design battery that meets the power needs of the SmartWatch.

The Korea Herald reports that “Contrary to recent reports that the new smartwatch will be powered by solar energy, Apple has confirmed (!) that it will use on her upcoming iWatch.” (the exclamation point is for “confirmed” as Apple doesn't usually comment on unreleased products.)

The basic ones will be Samsung SDI, LG Chem, and Tianjin Lishen Battery.

One source even said that "Apple will use an enhanced battery from LG Chem as it offers longer life than the others and can be manufactured in various shapes. ”

Apparently, the cells of a multilayer battery are able to hold about 16% more energy than traditional Li-ion,” the publication says.

One source added that, unlike rumors, Apple will not use solar panels, or perhaps use a panel for partial solar charging.

"Since the energy efficiency of solar it's one-tenth of a lithium-ion battery, it doesn't make sense to have a solar-powered gadget," he said, adding that the solar panel could be used for supplemental power at best."

The device should be complete and ready for circulation in the second half of the year, the sources say.
