Leak details and battery capacity
In a new post, a well-known leaker stated that the foldable iPhone’s battery capacity could exceed 5,500 mAh. If true, this would be the largest battery capacity for any iPhone ever produced, surpassing the current iPhone 17 Pro Max battery of 5,088 mAh. This represents a qualitative leap in foldable phone engineering, which typically suffers from tight internal space.
Comparison with Samsung and Google
This capacity puts Apple ahead of the competition. For example, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a 5,015 mAh battery, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 comes with a 4,400 mAh battery only. Battery superiority could be the deciding factor in attracting users hesitant to adopt this new category.
Advanced battery technologies
Previous reports indicated that Apple is focusing on improving energy efficiency and using high-density cells to deliver superior battery life without increasing device thickness. This focus reflects Apple’s strategy of waiting until the technology matures before introducing its product to the market.
Expected specifications and release date
The device is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch crease-free inner display, a 5.5-inch cover screen, and the powerful A20 chip. It is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 series later this year, making it one of the most anticipated devices.
