- More iphone folding details have leaked
- We have more indices on prices and battery capacity
- The phone could be launched next year
We are getting closer to the foldable iPhone being a real device rather than a device, and new leaks suggest that the handset will define two records for the Apple smartphones series to date.
These leaks come from Tipster Dingzhuo Digital and Mydrivers (via WCCFTECH). Keep in mind that we are counting on Google Translate here – and that nothing is certain until Apple makes the apparatus official (which will probably be next year).
First of all, the folding iPhone will apparently have the largest battery of any iPhone to date, this leak putting the capacity of 5,000 to 5,500 mAh. By way of comparison, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max which was launched last September in a battery of 4,685 mAh.
We will have to see how it works in terms of battery life between loads. The foldable iPhone will of course have two screens that require a larger power supply and screen to light up when not open (which could be 7.74 inches, a corner by the area).
Pay the price
The second part of this leak is the price of this device, and it is not surprising that the foldable iPhone is defined to be the most expensive iPhone in history – far exceeding the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is set at $ 1,199 / $ 1,199 $ 2149 at.
This leak puts the price at more than 15,000 yuan in China. It works like $ 2,090 / £ 1,566 £ / $ 3,205 with an approximate conversion to today’s prices, but it is unlikely that it is the final figures that Apple installs internationally.
The previous rumors have put the price of the folding iPhone somewhere between $ 1,800 and $ 2,500, depending on the advice and analysts you want to believe. Whatever the final figure that ends up being, you will certainly have to pay a lot for this phone.
Before getting the folding iPhone, we will get the iPhone 17 series, which will include iPhone 17 air instead of iPhone 16 Plus. If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, we should see these handsets in September.
