MacRumors reports iOS 27 code points to an iPhone with two batteries

MacRumors said iOS 27 beta code includes battery language that refers to more than one internal cell in an iPhone. The outlet notes the wording could relate to Apple's foldable iPhone model, but that remains speculation.

MacRumors wrote that new iOS 27 battery-health strings mention multiple internal batteries rather than one. The report says the phrasing may fit a foldable iPhone design and could allow one cell to be serviced independently.

Why this matters

If Apple is preparing software for a dual-cell iPhone, it suggests the company is already thinking about repair and battery-health features for that device. For buyers, separate-cell servicing could affect repair costs and maintenance down the line.

Confidence reason

Reporter-level sourcing from MacRumors, with the key claim based on beta-code references rather than official Apple confirmation.
