We have been talking a lot about Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone. As it is inching ever closer to reality, today’s leaks offer revealing insights into its battery size, possible pricing, and what might make it stand out.
Power-Packed Battery
Insider leaks suggest Apple is equipping the foldable with an impressively large 5000 – 5500mAh battery, the largest battery ever seen in an iPhone. This would far outstrip the iPhone?16?Pro?Max’s 4685mAh cell and help sustain two power?hungry displays—a folded selfie screen and a sprawling ~7.7-inch main screen.
A Jaw?Dropping Price Tag
Pricing leaks point to the foldable iPhone being the most expensive iPhone ever. One rumour drops the Chinese price above 15000?yuan (~RM8.8K), while other analysts indicate a global launch somewhere in the $1800–$2500 range (~RM7.6K–~RM10.6K). Analyst Ming?Chi?Kuo suggests that Apple’s special hinge design (intended for crease?free folding) may push prices even higher than Samsung’s flagship Galaxy?Z?Fold?7.
Industry experts point out that Apple’s success won’t hinge solely on price. Instead, it’s expected to follow their usual playbook: deliver top-tier durability, engineering finesse, and a seamless user experience, traits that justify their historically premium pricing.
Launch Timeline and Forecasts
While Apple hasn't officially confirmed any foldable, launch projections point to a 2026 release, potentially aligning with the iPhone?18 series. Analysts expect sole sourcing of crease?free display panels from Samsung Display and initial sales volume of 3–5 million units in the first year.
As always, take these details with a grain of salt: specs, prices, and timelines may shift as Apple finalises the design. But if these leaks hold true, Apple is aiming to launch its boldest and priciest iPhone to date. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
