Apple patent application hints at iPhone with a removable battery

Apple patent application hints at iPhone with a removable battery. A new report says about Apple patent application which hints at removable iPhone battery.

It should be good news for iPhone fans in the future, that they don't have to wait for the low-battery to be recharged, just replace it with a full-battery and the iPhone can be used again.

The patent applications go on to propose a system for battery management where the Mac takes a central role. Desktops and portables would have battery charging slots built in and serve as the host for the entire system.

Low batteries would send an alert to the host machine, leading it to inform the user which battery needs to be recharged or replaced, directing the user toward a specific charging slot for a compatible, charged battery. Alerts would be sent early enough so users can save settings or any other work before an imminent power shutoff, the filings note.

In locations where there are networked Macs, the system might recommend host machines in other floors, halls, groups or departments if they have fully charged compatible batteries in their slots.
