Apple's First Foldable iPhone Set to Feature Record-Breaking Battery

As anticipation builds for the unveiling of Apple's innovative iPhone Fold later this year, reports indicate that this new device will revolutionize power capacity within the iPhone family. Alongside the debut of the new iPhone 18 Pro series and iPhone Air 2, the iPhone Fold is rumored to be equipped with the largest battery ever seen in an iPhone, promising to enhance the user experience significantly.

Exceptional Battery Capacity

According to Instant Digital, the iPhone Fold will feature a remarkable 5500 mAh battery. This will surpass the current largest battery found in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is rated at 4823 mAh.

Rivalry with Competitors

If these claims are accurate, Apple’s iPhone Fold would outdo its rivals, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which come with batteries of 4400 mAh and 5015 mAh respectively. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 is anticipated to feature a battery upgrade to 5000 mAh, potentially competing closely with Apple's latest foldable device. Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also expected to launch shortly before the iPhone Fold, with battery rumors ranging between 5100 mAh and a staggering 6000 mAh.

Latest Specifications for the iPhone Fold

Thanks to advancements in battery technology, such as Silicon-Carbon (Si/C) materials, foldable phones are now capable of housing larger batteries. Presently, the Vivo X Fold 5 5G holds the record for the largest cell in a book-style foldable at 6000 mAh.
