Apple is expected to launch its first foldable iPhone next year. While recent rumors have focused on a book-like folding design and camera setup, the question of battery capacity remains a subject of much debate, especially given Apple's recent focus on thin and lightweight devices.

According to the account yeux1122 , a source specializing in compiling leaks on the Naver blog, Apple is testing a 5,400-5,800 mAh battery for its foldable iPhone model. If this information is accurate, this would be the largest battery capacity ever seen on an Apple smartphone. For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max currently has a 5,088 mAh battery.

Test data also suggests that the foldable iPhone model may outperform many foldable devices currently on the market. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a 5,015 mAh battery, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 has a 4,400 mAh battery.

With many foldable smartphones sacrificing battery capacity to ensure a slim design, leaked information about the battery capacity has led the tech community to hope that Apple can deliver better battery life.

Previously, a March report from a South Korean news aggregator indicated that Apple was focusing resources on optimizing energy efficiency and shrinking internal components to fit the foldable device's structure. During development, battery life appeared to be the company's top priority.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also previously mentioned that Apple is using high-density battery cells in its new devices to improve energy efficiency.

While the foldable smartphone market is expanding, Apple has yet to enter this arena. Therefore, rumors surrounding its first foldable iPhone are attracting significant attention. However, much of the current information remains unconfirmed. Apple does not comment on leaks during the product development phase.

However, the constant mention of battery capacity in reports suggests that Apple may be working to address the biggest limitation of foldable devices. If the new iPhone model truly achieves the reported battery capacity, this could become a competitive advantage when Apple officially enters the market next year.
