iPhone Fold to pack larger battery than iPhone 17 Pro Max, rumor suggests | Infinium-tech
Apple’s long-rumored foldable, tentatively called the iPhone Fold, is expected to launch next year, though some reports still suggest as early as 2027. Now a new leak has emerged in which information about the battery size of the foldable iPhone has been given.
The Apple iPhone Fold will reportedly have a larger battery than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which gets a 4,823mAh cell (the eSIM-only model gets a 5,088mAh unit). The foldable is said to have a battery with a capacity between 5,400 and 5,800mAh.
The report claims that Apple is currently testing a foldable iPhone with the above battery capacity. It also reveals that early prototypes of the iPhone Air used a 3,000mAh battery, but Apple was ultimately able to fit a larger unit in the final model.
A similar outcome is possible for the iPhone Fold, whose battery could be closer to 6,000mAh. The foldable is rumored to have a 7.58-inch inner display and 5.38-inch cover screen, which means a larger battery will be necessary to meet the increased power demands.
