iPhone 7 & 7 Plus have bigger batteries than iPhone 6s line, specs show
The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 features a 1,960 milliamp-hour battery, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus includes a 2,900 milliamp-hour supply -- both significant increases over their predecessors, a report noted on Monday.
The specifications were published by Chinese certification agency TENAA, according to iPhone7.nl. Apple avoids marketing hard data on the batteries in its mobile devices, preferring instead to concentrate on how many hours a product should run under specific activities.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus by contrast feature 1,715 and 2,750 milliamp-hour batteries.
Longevity has been a regular complaint about iPhones and smartphones in general, since few are designed to last more than a day in regular usage. The iPhone 6s often needs to be charged twice a day, once mid-day and again overnight. The 6s Plus can run for over 24 hours under normal conditions.
At last Wednesday's press event, Apple promised that its new iPhones have the "longest battery life ever in an iPhone," thanks partly to quad-core A10 processors. Two low-power cores take over on less intense tasks, reducing power consumption.

or higher capacity? (more electrons?)

Samsung does make several parts used in iPhones, but what suggests that Apple uses Samsung-made batteries? Here's an article on the iPhone 6 battery situation, and there's no mention of Samsung in the supplier list.

In fact Samsung is turning to Apple’s main battery supplier ATL and has ordered four million batteries as replacements for their exploding Galaxy Note 7. Samsung got 70% of its batteries from its own subsidiary prior to the explosions and fires starting. Going forward it will exclusively use ATL batteries in the Note 7. According to the article it all depends on how well the iPhone 7 sells which might cause supply problems for Samsung. So if the iPhone 7 sells well it may take longer to get that Note 7 replacement. How amazingly ironic is that?! I can barely contain myself from busting a gut laughing. Big iPhone 7 demand means Samsung Note 7 in short supply.
Uh, no they don't. I thought your post was pretty moronic and ignorant, then I checked your posting history and realized you're nothing but a mindless troll with nothing of worth or of truth to contribute.
