Revealing battery capacity on folding screen iPhone
(Dan Tri) - In a post on the social network Weibo, the Digital Chat Station account (who often reveals leaked information about Apple) said that the folding screen iPhone will be equipped with 2 batteries.
The rated battery capacity of these two batteries is 1,921mAh and 2,962mAh respectively. Accordingly, the total battery capacity of the device reaches 4,883mAh.

This dual battery design is suitable for smartphones with horizontal folding screens. Compared to competitors on the market, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a total battery capacity of 5,015mAh, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a capacity of 4,400mAh.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the folding screen iPhone (possibly named iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra) and the iPhone 18 Pro duo will be introduced by Apple on September 8. The next backup plan may be September 9.
Supply chain sources said Samsung Display has begun operating part of its production line in Vietnam to fulfill an initial order of about 3 million panels. It is expected that the order will be delivered this year.
Approval for display manufacturing requires the supplier to demonstrate final assembly quality and consistency of mass production. Apple requires a productivity rate of at least 70%. Samsung Display overcame that barrier by achieving a final yield rate of over 80%.
Samsung Display is said to be the exclusive supplier of OLED panels for folding iPhones under a 3-year agreement. This means Apple will not import folding OLED panels from any other screen manufacturer during this period.

According to MacRumors, the folding iPhone will have a screen of about 7.8 inches when unfolded. This size is equivalent to the screen on the iPad mini model. The selfie camera will be placed in the upper left corner of the screen.
Meanwhile, the device's external screen is 5.5 inches in size. This screen has a shorter and more square ratio than current iPhones. This design is similar to the design of a passport.
Previously leaked information confirmed that the device will not support the Face ID facial recognition system. Instead, the device integrates Touch ID fingerprint recognition through the side button to unlock the device and use Apple Pay.
