Photos leaked over the weekend providing more evidence that the next new iPhone will come with its largest battery yet.

The new photos show a number of iPhone batteries in shipping trays, along with legal text and Apple logo.

The photos of the batteries were first featured on Aug. 16 in a report by Nohereelse.fr.

Pictures reveal lithium-ion polymer components with a capacity of 1,819mAh. In comparison, the battery found in current iPhone 5S devices has a capacity of 1,440mAh, according to Apple's website.

Batteries seen in the leaked photos are expected to be for the rumored 4.7-inch iPhone 6.

Rumors have also speculated that Apple will release a 5.5-inch option of the next Phone, which would be a significant increase from the 4-inch display found on the iPhone 5S.

The first sign that the next iPhone would feature batteries with a capacity of 1,810mAh was revealed in leaked photos last month.

A number of analysts reported earlier this summer that batteries were being manufactured starting in June.

The batteries featured in the leaked photos could just be for testing purposes, as respected analyst Sun Chang Xu claims Apple wants to get a 2,100mAh battery into the final shipping product.

If the post is true, it would represent a huge 45.8 percent increase compared to the current battery found in the iPhone 5C.

Either way, Apple's next smartphone will feature a much larger battery which is good news for iPhone fans, as it will allow the company to boost its longest uptime for a handset ever.

The launch of Apple's next iPhone is expected by many analysts to be the biggest in the company's history, with reports predicting orders of around 80 million units before the end of 2014.

Rumored specs for the next iPhone includes: 1704 x 960 pixel resolution, a faster A8 processor, camera upgrades, and a more durable, sapphire screen.

A new iOS 8 operating system that the next iPhone will utilize debuted at Apple's 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this summer.

Apple is hosting a special media event on Sept. 9 where it is expected to unveil the next iPhone. If Apple does debut its next smartphone, phones could be released for purchase starting on Friday, Sept. 19.

The company announced last week that it would stop using two potentially hazardous chemicals, benzene and n-hexane, in the production of iPhones, according to the Associated Press.
