- More folded iPhone details are leaked
- We have more signs about pricing and battery capacity
- The phone may be launched next year
We are getting closer to and closer to the foldable iPhone despite being a real rumor device, and the new leak suggests that the handset is going to set two records for Apple’s smartphone series.
These leaked tipster dingjhuo comes from digital and Mydrivers (Through WccftechKeep in mind that we are relying on Google translation here – and it is nothing certain until the Apple makes the device official (which will probably be next year).
First, the folding iPhone is clearly going to be the largest battery of any iPhone so far, with the leak capacity at 5,000–5,500 mAh. For comparison, Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max which was launched in 4,685 mAh battery last September.
We have to see how it works in the context of real battery life between charge. The foldable iPhone will undoubtedly have two screens that require powering, and when unoped to close a large screen (which can be 7.74 inches, from the corner to corner).
Paying the price
The second part of this leak is the pricing of this device, and it is no surprise that the foldable iPhone is the most expensive iPhone in history – the iPhone 16 Pro is more than the initial price of Max, which is set on $ 1,199 / £ 1,199 / AU $ 2,149.
The leaks cost more than 15,000 yuan in China. It serves as $ 2,090 / £ 1,560 / AU $ 3,205 with rough currency conversion at today’s rates, but they are unlikely to be the final figures. Apple settles internationally.
Previous rumors have kept the folding iPhone between $ 1,800 and $ 2,500 somewhere, depending on how you want to believe in tipsters and analysts. Whatever the final figure ends, you are definitely going to pay a lot for this phone.
Before we get the folding iPhone, however, we are going to get the iPhone 17 series, which will include the iPhone 17 Air in place of the iPhone 16 Plus. If Apple sticks to its normal program, we should look at those handsets in September.
