- More folded iPhone — details are leaked
- We have more tips on pricing and battery capacity
- The phone could be launched next year
We are getting closer and closer to the fact that the folding iPhone is a real rather than a rumored device, and new leaks suggest that the handset will put two items to Apple’s smartphone series to date.
These leaks come from Tipster Dingzhuo Digital and Mydrivers (via WCCFTERCH). Remember we are dependent on Google Translate here – and that nothing is safe before Apple makes the device official (which is likely to be next year).
First up, the folded iPhone will apparently have the largest battery of any iPhone to date, with this leakage that sets the capacity of 5,000-5,500 mAh. In comparison, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, which was launched in September last September in a 4,685 mAh battery.
We will have to see how it works in terms of actual battery life between charges. The folding iPhone, of course, has two screens that need turns on, and a larger screen to light up when they are opened (which could be 7.74 inches, 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 folding iPhone is set to be the most expensive iPhone in history – far exceeds the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is set to $ 1,199 / £ 1,199 / AU $ 2,149.
This leak sets the price of more than 15,000 yuan in China. It acts as a $ 2,090 / £ 1,560 / AU $ 3,205 with a rough currency conversion at today’s rates, but the final figures that Apple will be in international.
Earlier rumors have set the price of the folded iPhone somewhere between $ 1,800 and $ 2,500, depending on what tips and analysts you will believe. Whatever the last figure ends up being, you will definitely have to pay a lot for this phone.
However, before we get the folded iPhone, we get the iPhone 17 series, which will include iPhone 17 Air instead of the iPhone 16 Plus. If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, we should see these handsets in September.
