Apple\u2019s foldable iPhone is getting closer to its September announcement. Despite rumors of a delay, a recent report claimed that Foxconn is hiring temporary workers to ramp up production of the Ultra. Now we have a number for one of its most important specs: the battery.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest: when I saw the battery figure, my reaction was somewhere between \u201cthat works\u201d and \u201cI was hoping for more.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what exactly does the battery leak tell us?<\/h2>\n

Leaker Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post citing a regulatory filing from Apple\u2019s battery supplier listing two cell capacities: 1,921mAh and 2,962mAh. First, that confirms the iPhone Ultra could adopt a dual-cell design. Second, the combined battery capacity could be around 4,883mAh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A two-cell configuration is standard practice in foldable phones. It helps accommodate the hinge mechanism running through the chassis. Samsung does the same with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Google does it with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, so there\u2019s nothing unusual there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For context on the full iPhone 18 lineup, the same source puts the iPhone 18 Pro Max at 5,567mAh (eSIM) and the iPhone 18 Pro at 4,288mAh. What\u2019s unusual, however, is that the flagship foldable has less capacity than the standard flagship slab (via 9to5Mac).<\/p>\n

How does the iPhone Ultra\u2019s battery compare to its foldable rivals?<\/h2>\n

It sits right in the middle of the pack. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7 comes in at 4,400mAh, and I can\u2019t believe that I\u2019m seeing this, but Apple\u2019s iPhone Ultra could beat it comfortably. Google\u2019s Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a 5,015mAh battery, though, meaning the iPhone Ultra trails it by about 132mAh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That gap matters less than it appears on paper, primarily because Apple\u2019s hardware-software integration typically yields more real-world usage per milliamp-hour than Android alternatives.\u00a0However, the Razr Fold…<\/p>\n
