According to fresh information from China, the first folding iPhone will receive a battery with a capacity of 5,000 to 5500 mAh, which will become a record indicator for Apple smartphones.
Even the future of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is expected in the fall, will be significantly smaller.
The cause of such an impressive battery of analytics is the double screen of the device: the main flexible display inside and the auxiliary external. They will significantly increase energy consumption, so Apple had to go to a larger battery.
It is assumed that Apple uses silicon-carbon nutritional elements to preserve a relatively small thickness of the housing with increasing battery capacity.
According to Chinese insiders, the price of folding iPhone starts with 15,000 yuan (about $ 2090). The model will receive the latest A20 Pro chip, produced in the 2-nm TSMC process.
Apple is expected to apply a number of technologies to minimize the folding display, including laser processing and metal plates inside the case. The release of the novelty is predicted in the II half of 2026.
