This is almost 30% larger than the 1960 mAh battery in the iPhone 7 and Kuo says Apple will squeeze it in by using a "higher-cost stacked logic board design". By stacking the board Apple almost halves the space it takes up thereby freeing up the space necessary for the bigger battery," says Forbes contributor Gordon Kelly.

Although it is a perfect visual to implement, it's safe to say that it would be difficult to create a phone see-through. However, iPhone has proven certain elements associated with mixed reality such as its forward facing camera being used to gather information from its users. With this in mind, Apple will certainly find a way to turn this dream into reality.
