According to the latest rumors, Apple plans to use the largest battery used in the history of iPhone phones in the iPhone Fold. It is said that this device will be equipped with a battery with a capacity of more than 5500 mAh; A capacity that is a new record for Apple products.
Apple has usually been reluctant to use very large batteries in iPhones, but apparently the wave of competitors using silicon-carbon batteries, especially in flagship models, has forced the company to change its approach. Before the introduction of iPhone 17 Pro Max, it was reported that this phone will be equipped with a 5088 mAh battery.
design
According to reports, the foldable iPhone will be similar in design to two iPhone Air devices side by side. This design provides more space to use a larger battery.
It was previously said that Apple is testing batteries with a capacity of 5,400 to 5,800 mAh, but increasing the capacity too much could increase the weight of the device significantly. For this reason, according to the Weibo leaker named Fixed-focus digital cameras, Apple will probably use a battery with a capacity of 5500 mAh or slightly more to keep the weight balance of the device.
It is also reported that instead of aluminum, Apple will use titanium alloy in the body of the iPhone Fold; Because aluminum is heavier. For heat management, this phone is expected to be equipped with a Vapor Chamber cooling system similar to the new flagship iPhones.
Increased battery life with the A20 Pro chip
The iPhone Fold’s battery life is likely to improve significantly thanks to the A20 Pro chip. This chip is the first Apple chip to be mass-produced with TSMC’s 2nm N2 technology and will bring higher energy efficiency.
Given the major architectural improvements Apple has made to the A19 Pro’s low-power cores and the dramatic increase in ultra-low-power performance, the A20 Pro is expected to feature similar features and ultimately extend the battery life of the iPhone Fold.
Comparison with competitors
For those who don’t find the 5500 mAh capacity so impressive, reports show that the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max phone with a 7500 mAh silicon-carbon battery lasted only 5 minutes longer than the iPhone 17 Pro Max; That too with a battery that is 55% bigger. This shows that Apple’s optimizations play an important role in providing high charging performance.
Finally, as always, it is emphasized that this information is at the level of rumors and should be viewed with caution. More details of Apple’s foldable iPhone are expected to emerge as more reports surface.
