Fourth developer beta iOS 27 brought, in addition to visible innovations, one extremely interesting clue in the system code. Apple added messages to it intended for iPhone se with two separate batteries. Current models store all informationmacand the condition of the battery are formulated exclusively in the singular. The new texts are therefore probably related to the upcoming folding iPhonem Ultra.

In the battery health settings, there are statements stating that “the batteries in this iPhone are performing as expected.” Another warning informs about a significant deterioration in their condition and recommends replacement at an authorized service center. There is also varianta in case the system cannot verify one of the batteries as an original part Apple.

It is the consistent use of the plural that is important. This is not just a general adjustment of terminology. The texts also take into account situations where only one of the two accumulators is affected by the problem. Apple so apparently preparing iOS on a device that will evaluate the condition of individual battery cells independently.

Two halves, two batteries

The most likely explanation is the long-awaited foldable iPhone, often referred to in leaks as iPhone Ultra. Pairs of battery cells are not uncommon for foldable phones. One can be placed in each half of the device, allowing manufacturers to make better use of limited internal space and distribute the weight more evenly. According to previous reportsmache should Apple use cells with a capacity of 1,921 mAh and 2,962 mAh. Their sum would reach 4,883 mAh, which would be a fairly solid value considering the construction complexity of a foldable phone. However, the capacity itself does not reveal much about the real endurance. The size of the displays, the new A20 Pro chip, the method of power management and how efficiently it can iOS use both articles.

Cheaper repairs are not yet certain

The formulations in the system also allow for the possibility of servicing individual batteries separately. If only one cell were to wear out significantly, theoretically it would not be necessary to replace the entire battery assembly. Such a solution could reduce the cost of repair and limit unnecessary replacement of still functional parts.

However, this possibility needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The system message proves above all that iOS can distinguish the status of both batteries. It does not reveal whether Apple will indeed offer them as separate service parts. In addition, for a very thin foldable device, replacement can be significantly more complex in terms of construction than for a regular iPhone.

The presence of ready-made texts in iOS 27 suggests that work on the dual-battery iPhone is quite advanced. Of course, the code is not a definitive confirmation of the name, specifications, or release date. The information so farmacHowever, they are counting on the introduction of a foldable iPhone Ultra this September together with the models iPhone 18 ProIf this really happens, two batteries will not be a stand-alone feature, but one of the basic assumptions of its foldable design.
