Apples foldable iPhone might have a battery trick up its sleeve to beat Samsungs best.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Apples first foldable device could have impressive battery life Thats according to a new rumor that details Apples latest efforts It would compete with Samsungs best foldable on battery life

Apples first foldable device appears to be on the way we got another rumor seemingly confirming that just today and now a new detail has emerged that could help Apple compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 .

According to a Chinese leaker known as Phone Chip Expert (via MacRumors ), Apple has been pulling out all the stops to increase the efficiency of its foldable display. That could give it an edge against the best foldable phones in what is a highly competitive market.

To achieve this, Phone Chip Expert claims that Apple has reduced the display driver integrated circuit from 28nm to 16nm. Thats a massive reduction and could significantly impact battery life.

Apple likes to promise that its devices come with all day battery life, and when youre dealing with a large screen like on a foldable product, battery life is key. That makes Phone Chip Experts claim seem believable at first glance. All day battery life (Image credit: Future)

A move like this makes a lot of sense. After all, a foldable iPhone or
MacBook will have a much larger display than its non-foldable siblings, and all that screen real estate can get awfully power-hungry. Thats something
weve seen in other foldable devices like the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold , which
have failed to impress us with their mediocre battery life.

Apple is thought to be building both a foldable iPhone and a MacBook-iPad hybrid with a foldable display. In the case of the former, its likely to directly compete with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is rumored to get the same battery capacity as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 .

That said, Samsung is apparently working on making its foldable screen more efficient, so it will be fascinating to see which device comes out on top here.

At the moment, most of this is confined to the land of rumors, but it is
worth noting that Phone Chip Expert has a reasonably solid track record regarding Apple rumors.

They correctly predicted that Apple would build its own servers to run Apple Intelligence and that the iPhone 15 would continue to use the A15 Bionic chip instead of the newer A16 chip, among other claims.

That doesnt mean that this latest rumor is nailed on to happen, though. Various sources have claimed that Apples first foldable device could arrive
in either 2026 or 2027, so well have to wait until then to judge the efficiency and battery life of Apples first foldable product.
