Apple Supplier Registers 4,883mAh Foldable iPhone Battery Cells as September Debut Looms

Summary

  • Two newly registered cells rated at 1,921mAh and 2,962mAh point to a combined minimum 4,883mAh battery for Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone, according to leaker Digital Chat Station.
  • That total fits supply-chain expectations of 4,800mAh to 5,000mAh and matches the dual-cell layouts common in book-style foldables, which split batteries across both halves.
  • The figure would place Apple near the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s 5,015mAh battery and above the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh, though below an earlier rumor of 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh testing.
  • Apple’s first foldable is still rumored to use high-density cells and prioritize efficiency in a slim design, with a 7.8-inch inner display and a launch alongside iPhone 18 Pro models in September.
