The iPhone 12’s battery was kind of disappointing when you look at its predecessor, the iPhone 11. However, Apple is said to be making things right with the iPhone 13 where according to the rumors, it will come with a larger battery. While that remains to be seen, a new report suggests that an internal redesign is what could allow Apple to fit in larger batteries.

This report comes from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce who claims that one of the internal changes we might be able to expect is a redesign of the charging circuit board.

According to the report, “The iPhone 13 will see a shift in its charging circuit board from the previous rigid-flex PCB design to a new design featuring SiP combined with flexible PCB. The space-saving feature of this new design will also likely result in increased battery capacity.”

While we can’t corroborate those claims, we can only help but hope that they are true. At this point in time, it is unclear how much bigger of a battery we are talking about. However, it should be noted that the iPhone 13 is also rumored to come with a 120Hz display, so any potential battery gains could be offset by the newer displays.

The report also goes on to claim that Apple is expected to maintain the same pricing as the iPhone 12, so if you were worried about a price hike, you might be in luck, although since it is still a rumor/prediction, maybe don’t give it too much credence just yet.

Redesigned Circuit Board Could Give The iPhone 13 Bigger Batteries

When you run a company, you can’t always trust that your employees will do everything they’re supposed to do. More often than not, employees do things they’re not supposed to do, whether it be more simple kinds of things like taking extended breaks, stealing company stationary, to more serious offenses like looking into databases they’re not supposed to.

It can be hard to keep track of what your employees are doing, but it’s not stopping Amazon from trying. According to a report from Motherboard, they have gotten their hands on an internal Amazon document that apparently reveals that the company is planning some kind of monitoring system for customer service employees.

This monitoring system will be used to look at the keystrokes and mouse clicks that an employee makes during the course of their work. The idea is that by monitoring these activities, they might be able to be more proactive when it comes to detecting if an employee is trying to access or steal Amazon customer data.

Amazon does have a cause for concern because according to the document, they have found four instances where customer data was accessed when it shouldn’t. There is also concern for imposters, where an example scenario was laid out where a customer service employee working from home walks away from their computer, and a friend or roommate then tries to access the database from their computer.

The document also highlights some of the possible legal issues that might come from collecting such data, and as a result, they have opted to use software from BehavioSec that would collect anonymous keyboard data.

In a statement made to Motherboard, Barbara Agrait, a senior PR manager at Amazon said, “Maintaining the security and privacy of customer and employee data is among our highest priorities. While we do not share details on the technologies we use, we continually explore and test new ways to safeguard customer-related data while also respecting the privacy of our employees. And we do this while also remaining compliant with applicable privacy laws and regulations.”
