Major iPhone 2025 battery capacity leak will have you drooling over one model

Phone Arenaa day ago
The upcoming iPhone 17 series is rapidly moving closer to its expected unveiling in September. It's hard to believe but we are only two months away from Apple introducing its latest iPhone models, including the ultra-slim unit dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. Yeah, that's exciting for some. But there are others like me who would prefer that a new top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro Max feature a little more heft and girth so that it can include larger batteries. This is exactly what to expect for the iPhone 17 Pro Max , according to a new Weibo post from tipster Instant Digital. He says that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be equipped with a battery sporting a capacity of approximately 5000 mAh. This would make it the largest iPhone battery of all time, surpassing the current record holder which would be the 4676 mAh battery powering the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple has really done the work needed to change how consumers perceive the battery life on the iPhone. You might recall that in 2014, Samsung released a commercial showing iPhone users landing at an airport and immediately looking for places to plug in their iPhones.
It's a hilarious ad for the Galaxy S5, and if you haven't watched it, by all means go out and do so now. It gave iPhone users a nickname of "Wallhuggers" that they no longer deserve, thanks to the increase in battery capacity that Apple has bestowed on its most expensive handsets. Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier, but most would prefer to carry around a heavier, bulkier phone if it results in longer battery life. If a sleeker, svelte iPhone is your cup of tea, this year brings the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air to the marketplace.
With a rumored 2800 mAh battery powering the iPhone 17 Air , choosing the thinnest iPhone model available this year could leave you feeling great holding such a thin handset. However, it could also leave iPhone 17 Air owners wanting when it comes to battery life. If I were to update to a new iPhone model this year, I would stick with the model I always buy-the latest iPhone Pro Max model. And if this device does come with a 5000mAh cell, battery life is going to be tremendous. Of course, I'm still considering the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, or even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to save some bucks.

New flip foldable promises better specs than Galaxy Z Flip 7

With Samsung's new foldables, Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, just around the corner, it's time to take a glance at what's coming in the next few months that could successfully compete with the South Korean foldables. Honor's Magic V5 is already a better foldable on paper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but its main disadvantage is that it won't be available worldwide before Samsung's foldable. Not to mention that Honor's devices aren't available for purchase in the United States, at least not through official channels. But Magic V5 is not the only Honor foldable that will compete with one of Samsung's upcoming devices. Magic V Flip 2 will directly compete with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, but not until later this summer. The sequel to the Magic V Flip has some interesting specs, at least according to a fresh new report. Reliable leaker Digital Chat Station claims the upcoming Magic V Flip 2 sports a large 6.8-inch LTPO folding OLED display with FHD+ resolution, and a 4-inch LTPO cover OLED display with FHD+ resolution. These are the exact same specs as the Magic V Flip, which means Honor hasn't been able to make any technological advancements when it comes to display. In comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to boast a 6.85-inch LTPO folding AMOLED display with 1080 x 2640 pixels resolution, and a 4-inch Super AMOLED cover display. Honor Magic V Flip is confined to Chinese market | Image credit: Honor Unfortunately, Honor will not use a flagship chipset for the Magic V Flip 2. Although the flip foldable will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series chipset, it's not going to be the Elite or Elite 2 flagships. In a previous post on Weibo from February 2025, Digital Chat Station said the Magic V Flip 2 could be equipped with a previous-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. On the bright side, Honor's foldable is rumored to pack a much bigger 5,500 mAh battery with support for 66W or 80W wired charging speeds. For reference, the original Magic V Flip packs a 4,800 mAh battery, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 still uses a 4,000 mAh battery, the same that powers the previous model. As far as the camera goes, Digital Chat Station says the Magic V Flip 2 has a dual camera setup, which will include a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.5-inch sensor. There's no information about the second camera but considering that the original model also comes with a dual camera system (50MP main + 12MP ultra-wide), there's a high chance that Magic V Flip 2 will use the same also worth mentioning that the Magic V Flip comes with a 50-megapixel selfie snapper, which Honor might use inside the sequel too. This is an enormous difference in comparison with Galaxy Z Flip 7 's rumored 10-megapixel front camera, but it remains to be seen if this will be reflected in the quality of the pictures captured too. There's one last piece of information that Digital Chat Station leaked on Weibo and that's Honor V Flip 2's release timeframe. According to the Chinese tipster, Honor's next flip foldable is expected to be introduced in China sometime in August. If the info proves to be accurate, a global launch might happen in September. Honor typically uses IFA, one of the world's leading trade shows for consumer electronics, to make important announcements, and the global release of its Magic V Flip 2 fits the company's marketing strategy perfectly.

It would be unrealistic to talk about pricing options considering that the Magic V Flip wasn't officially launched outside of China. But for the sake of comparison, it's worth noting that the Magic V Flip was priced to sell for 5,000 yuan at launch, which translates to about $695 / €590. We expect the Magic V Flip 2 to cost around the same in China, but if Honor decides to launch it worldwide, prices will be slightly higher by roughly $100 / €100 (?).

In iOS 26 a new feature will stop spam texts and those from unknown senders from reaching you

Tired of receiving those spam texts asking you to pay for a toll you supposedly owe? Other spam texts can be just as annoying. How many messages have you received supposedly sent from the U.S. Postal Service about a package that couldn't be delivered because there wasn't enough postage paid? One of the hallmarks of a successful spam campaign is a message that forces you to react emotionally instead of logically. One example would be a text claiming to be from your bank that says it is processing a withdrawal for a large amount of money. Right away, you worry that someone was able to infiltrate your bank account so you respond to the text by revealing personal information, and find that you've put yourself in even more financial jeopardy. The Apple Messages app is the recipient of a new feature in iOS 26 that will help you avoid becoming the victim of unwanted spam and scam texts. On iOS 26 (and right now with the iOS 26 Developer Beta), tap the blue button in the upper right corner of the Messages app and press the Manage Filtering option to open a new menu. When that menu opens you probably should toggle on "Screen Unknown Senders" and "Filter Spam." Toggling on "Screen Unknown Senders" hides notifications about texts sent from a sender you don't know and moves such messages to the Unknown Senders list. In a little bit, I will tell you how to access that list. The Filter Spam hides notifications related to texts considered to be spam and moves such messages to the Spam list. Apple Messages will filter spam and texts from unknown senders in iOS 26. | Image credit-PhoneArena Even though you won't see notifications about texts received from unknown senders and texts considered to be spam in your main conversations page, these texts can be accessed from individual Unknown Senders and Spam lists. To see those lists, open the Messages app and tap the blue button in the top right-corner. You will see a small menu pop up. To view messages from "Unknown Senders," press on that listing. You will see all of the texts you received from unknown senders that were hidden by the system. Do the same for "Spam" to see a list of texts considered spam that were placed in the individual Spam list. Tapping the blue button in the upper-right corner will allow you to access four different and individual lists containing: Messages Unknown Senders Spam Recently Deleted messages Again, this is a feature that most of you will receive with the iOS 26 release in September. Those of us who have installed the iOS 26 Developer beta have this feature now. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer
