The thinner casing of the expected iPhone Fold means a smaller battery, but a new leak backs up claims that Apple plans to mitigate this by improving power efficiency.
It’s previously been reported that Apple — and Samsung — are having difficulties making thinner batteries. More recently, leaker ”Mobile Phone Chip Expert” has claimed that Apple is concentrating on extending battery life by improving power efficiency in the iPhone fold’s display.
Now leaker yeux1122 has backed up this report, saying (in translation) that Apple will ”achieve the goal of slimming the battery by improving the Display Driver Integrated Circuit (DDI),” in particular.
The DDI controls operation of the display. If Apple can make that more efficient, it will lower both overall power consumption and heat output.
