Here\u2019s how that compares to other iPhones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4883mAh definitely falls towards the high-end of the battery spectrum, though it\u2019s by no means the best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iPhone Duo features two battery cells: one 2962mAh and another 1921mAh cell, totaling 4883mAh. This places it pretty much exactly in between the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which offer 4288mAh and 5567mAh batteries, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone Duo battery comparison<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to the rest of the recent iPhone lineup (eSIM versions, which feature larger battery cells than the physical SIM versions), here\u2019s where iPhone Duo ranks:<\/p>\n<p>CapacityDifferenceVideo Playback Hours (from Apple)iPhone 18 Pro Max5567mAh+14%45 hoursiPhone 17 Pro Max5088mAh+4%39 hoursiPhone Duo4883mAh\u201344 hours on outer display<br \/>31 hours on inner displayiPhone 16 Pro Max4685mAh-4%33 hoursiPhone 18 Pro4288mAh-12%36 hoursiPhone 17 Pro4252mAh-13%33 hoursiPhone 17e4005mAh-18%26 hoursiPhone 173692mAh-24%30 hoursiPhone Air3149mAh-36%27 hours<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, iPhone Duo has one of the largest battery capacities in an iPhone, only being bested by the two most recent Pro Max iPhones. Compared to anything else, the Duo will have a physically larger battery \u2013 though it\u2019s worth noting that you\u2019ll get less battery life if you use the larger inside display very frequently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you buying an iPhone Duo?
