With the iPhone Duo launch imminent (and the device backordered until January), we're now getting concrete information from Apple regarding some specifications that were previously unconfirmed. Apple recently released an EU energy label for the company's first-ever foldable smartphone, and we now know just how big the iPhone Duo's battery is. The iPhone Duo will be equipped with a 4,883 mAh battery. This matches previous reports based on leaks that said the iPhone Duo would utilize two battery cells, one 2,962 mAh and one 1,921 mAh battery, which combined add up to 4,883 mAh. This means that the iPhone Duo will have a bigger battery than its closest foldable competitors, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
