Interesting if true. May lead to fast charge from apple

The L-shaped battery should yield faster charging speeds, the report added.

Changing the battery shape so that it extends to one side at its bottom, forming an “L” shape, is said to permit Apple’s engineers to maximizes internal space and squeeze a Plus-sized battery into a smaller form factor device.

LG rumored to be exclusive supplier of L-shaped batteries for 2018 iPhones

BTW, did you know that LG Chem chose the L-shape in honour of their name?
