iPhone Fold could feature Apple's biggest smartphone battery yet

Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Fold, is reported to feature a record 5,500 mAh battery, a 7.8-inch display, and a powerful A20 Pro chipset.

Washington, February 3

Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected to make waves with its battery capacity, as reports indicate that the upcoming iPhone Fold could feature the largest battery ever used in an Apple smartphone.

According to GSM Arena, the iPhone Fold is anticipated to pack a 5,500 mAh battery. If this figure holds, it would surpass Apple's previous record-holder by a significant margin.

For context, the largest battery Apple has shipped so far is found in the eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro Max, making the reported capacity of the foldable nearly 10 per cent larger than that model.

Earlier reports had suggested a battery range between 5,400 mAh and 5,800 mAh, and the latest update narrows that estimate to 5,500 mAh.

As per GSM Arena, such a capacity would mark a notable shift for Apple, which has traditionally focused on software optimisation rather than large battery cells.

Combined with iOS efficiency, the larger battery could translate into longer real-world endurance compared to competing foldable smartphones.

Beyond the battery, the iPhone Fold is expected to introduce a new hardware approach for Apple. The device is tipped to feature a 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded, paired with a 5.5-inch cover screen for regular use.

This configuration would place it closer to a compact tablet when opened, while remaining usable as a standard smartphone when folded.

Camera hardware is also expected to be upgraded. Reports point to a dual rear camera system with two 48-megapixel sensors, along with two 18-megapixel front-facing cameras designed to work across both folded and unfolded modes.

Powering the device is expected to be Apple's A20 Pro chipset, supported by 12GB of RAM. If accurate, this combination would position the iPhone Fold among Apple's most powerful mobile devices to date.

Sounds impressive on paper, but I'll believe it when I see the actual battery life. Apple's software is efficient, but a foldable screen is a huge power drain. Will it last a full day of heavy use in our summer heat? That's the real test. 🤔

The specs are mind-blowing – A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, dual 48MP cameras. This is a proper flagship. But let's be real, it will probably cost more than a good second-hand scooter here. I'll stick with my regular iPhone and a power bank for now. 😅

As someone who uses their phone for work constantly, the idea of a compact tablet is very appealing. The big battery is key. But Apple needs to ensure the hinge is durable for Indian conditions – dust and humidity can be brutal on moving parts.

Good move by Apple focusing on battery. Indian users are tired of carrying power banks. If they price it competitively against Samsung Fold, it could do very well here. The camera specs look promising for content creators too.

Respectfully, I think this is over-engineering. Do we really need a foldable iPhone? The current ones work perfectly. This feels like a solution looking for a problem, and we'll end up paying a premium for it. Apple should focus on making current models more affordable for the Indian market instead.
