Apple is working on a new chip for its upcoming foldable iPhone that aims to significantly improve the device's energy efficiency and provide longer battery life. Several rumors have emerged in recent months confirming that the technology is in active development.
This was reported by URA-Inform, citing MacRumors.
According to information published on the Weibo platform, the company aims to reduce the size of the display driver from 28 nm to 16 nm. This reduction of almost 50% should significantly improve energy efficiency, which is especially important for devices with large foldable screens. The new chip will allow the smartphone to work longer without recharging, which is one of the key features that the company emphasizes.
Apple's main goal is to achieve “24-hour battery life” for the foldable iPhone, allowing users to not have to worry about frequent charging. The move highlights the company's intention to become more competitive in the foldable device market, where energy efficiency is critical. While there have been no official announcements about the release of a foldable iPhone, numerous leaks and patents indicate that the company is actively working in this direction.
