iOS 27 Beta 4 Hints at Foldable iPhone With 2 Batteries

Summary
Macworld found iOS 27 beta 4 code referring to “batteries” in plural, including alerts that say “one of the batteries” may not be genuine.
Those strings point to an iPhone with multiple internal power cells—a first for Apple’s handset line and a design that fits a foldable device with a battery on each side.
Earlier iOS 27 beta code also referenced “angle detection” and “fold states,” strengthening the case that Apple is preparing software support for a foldable iPhone.
Previous reports tied the rumored model to two cells totaling 4,883mAh, though Apple has not announced a foldable iPhone or confirmed a launch timeline.
