TL;DR<\/p>\n
A leaker has claimed that the iPhone Fold could have a 5,500mAh battery.
\nThis would handily beat the Galaxy Z Fold 7\u2019s 4,400mAh battery.
\nThis would also be on par with many Chinese foldables, although some devices offer bigger batteries.<\/p>\n
Apple is expected to launch its first foldable phone<\/a> later this year, informally dubbed the iPhone Fold<\/a>. Leaks point to a squat design compared to most other foldables, and it now looks like the device could put Samsung to shame on the battery front.<\/p>\n Tipster Fixed-Focus Digital<\/a> claimed on Weibo that the iPhone Fold will have a ~5,500mAh battery. Check out a machine-translated screenshot of the leaker\u2019s post below.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n If confirmed, the iPhone Fold would have a significantly larger battery than the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>. Samsung has used a 4,400mAh battery in its Folds since 2021\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 3. This would also be larger than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a>\u2018s 5,015mAh battery.<\/p>\n Are you looking forward to the iPhone Fold based on early leaks?<\/p>\n 32 votes<\/p>\n Yes, I can’t wait to buy one<\/p>\n 3%<\/p>\n I’m waiting for more details<\/p>\n 25%<\/p>\n No, I’m not<\/p>\n 72%<\/p>\n The iPhone Fold\u2019s apparent 5,500mAh battery would be roughly on par with typical Fold devices from Chinese manufacturers. However, the vivo X Fold 5 offers a 6,000mAh battery, and the global HONOR Magic V5 has a 5,820mAh battery. So Apple wouldn\u2019t be breaking foldable records in this regard. It\u2019s still worth noting that Apple\u2019s combination of hardware and software tends to be more efficient than Android devices. That means the iPhone Fold could still outlast rival foldables with larger batteries.<\/p>\n In any event, a large iPhone Fold battery would be great news for Apple and the foldable phone industry in general. I can only hope that this would push Samsung to offer much larger batteries in its own foldable phones.<\/p>\n This wouldn\u2019t be the first time we heard rumors that Apple\u2019s foldable could have a big battery, either. A Korean blogger previously asserted that Apple was testing a 5,400 to 5,800mAh battery in the iPhone Fold<\/a>. So it certainly sounds more and more likely that the device has a big battery.<\/p>\n![\"Apple](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Apple-iPhone-Fold-battery-size-fixed-focus-digital-weibo.jpg\"\/ "\\"Apple")
