Apple has officially opened pre-orders for the iPhone Duo, set to hit the market on October 20. As anticipation builds, details regarding the device's battery capacity and longevity have surfaced.
Battery Specifications
According to information from the European Union's energy label database (EPREL), the iPhone Duo is equipped with a lithium-ion battery boasting a total capacity of 4,883 mAh. This battery is split into two units: one with a capacity of 2,962 mAh and the other at 1,921 mAh. Apple typically refrains from disclosing specific battery capacities for its devices, which often leads to such details being sourced from third-party entities.
Video Playback and Usage Time
On its official website, Apple has mentioned that the iPhone Duo can support video playback for up to 40 hours when utilizing the external display and about 31 hours with the main screen. This performance indicates a strong battery life that aligns with user expectations for a foldable device.
Comparison with Competing Devices
The iPhone Duo's battery capacity is significant for a foldable smartphone, slightly exceeding that of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which has a 4,800 mAh battery. However, it falls short when compared to other foldable phones from Chinese manufacturers. For instance, the Xiaomi 18 Fold comes with a 6,000 mAh battery, while the Huawei Pura X Max offers a 5,300 mAh battery.
Positioning Among Apple Devices
When looking at the iPhone Duo's battery capacity relative to other Apple models, it sits comfortably in the middle. The iPhone 18 Pro is equipped with a 4,288 mAh battery, whereas the iPhone 18 Pro Max features a larger 5,567 mAh battery in its eSIM version. Notably, the iPhone Duo will only be available in an eSIM version globally, which means its battery capacity will be consistent across different markets, unlike the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max that have varying capacities between eSIM and physical SIM models.
Longevity and Charging Cycles
In terms of durability, the iPhone Duo's battery is rated for 1,000 charging cycles. This means the battery can endure 1,000 full charge cycles before its capacity drops to 80%. The EPREL database also indicates that the iPhone Duo can last approximately 51 hours and 30 minutes per charging cycle. With the expected lifespan of 1,000 cycles, users may anticipate the battery lasting around 51,500 hours before experiencing a decrease in performance.
