Apple is going all in on power efficiency and slimmer designs for its first foldable iPhone.
A new report by yeux1122 on Naver suggests that battery life is now a top priority, with Apple focusing on key components like the display driver IC (DDI) to make the device thinner and more efficient.
The DDI plays a crucial role in how the screen functions, converting digital signals into analog signals to control the pixels. By refining this component, Apple aims to create a thinner panel, reduce heat, and improve power consumption which are very important factors for a foldable device with multiple displays.
When unfolded, the device is expected to feature a 7.8-inch main screen and a 5.5-inch cover display with multiple trusted sources confirming this. This also suggests that Apple may have finalized much of the hardware.
Reports indicate the device will have a book-style design, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold, instead of a clamshell style like the Z Flip. It’s rumored to include two rear cameras, a single front-facing camera, and a Touch ID sensor in the power button, likely skipping Face ID to save space. A high-density battery, titanium chassis, and a hinge made of titanium and stainless steel are also expected.
Apple has already entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn, meaning mass production could begin in late 2026, with a possible early 2027 release.
