Four days before the iPhone Duo reaches its first buyers, the number Apple never says on stage is out: 4,883mAh. The source is the EU Product Information Sheet for model A3720, published by Apple on its regulatory site on Friday and spotted by MacRumors. It matches an earlier leak that described two cells, 2,962mAh and 1,921mAh, split across the hinge.

Capacity comparison (eSIM models)

iPhone 18 Pro Max5,567mAh, 14% more than the Duo, 45 hours of video
iPhone 17 Pro Max5,088mAh, +4%
iPhone Duo4,883mAh, 44 hours of video on the outer display / 31 hours on the inner (Apple’s figures)
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra5,000mAh "typical" (4,854 rated)
Galaxy Z Fold84,800mAh "typical" (4,660 rated)
iPhone 18 Pro4,288mAh, 12% less than the Duo, 36 hours of video
iPhone 173,692mAh, −24%
iPhone Air3,149mAh, −36%

What else is on the sheet

The EU sheet is more than a capacity: energy class A, 51 hours 30 minutes of endurance per charge under the EU test (the 18 Pro gets 52 hours and the 18 Pro Max 62 hours on the same test), at least 1,000 charge cycles before dropping below 80%, repairability class C (2.65 out of 5) with a pointer to Self Service Repair, drop class B (140 drops, 35 of them unfolded), IP68 to 6 metres, and 5 years of OS updates.

Why it matters

Anyone who ordered a Duo in the UAE at AED 8,499 (256GB) to AED 13,599 (2TB) collects it on Friday, October 23, while new orders now slip to January. One caveat: the Middle East model is A3719, and the sheet covers the international A3720. Because every Duo is eSIM-only with no physical-SIM variant, MacRumors expects the capacity to be identical worldwide, but for our model that is officially unconfirmed.

My take

4,883mAh in a foldable as thin as the Duo is a very respectable number, and more important, Apple counts hours rather than milliamps: 44 hours on the outer display puts it close to the 18 Pro Max with a battery 700mAh smaller. The real Gulf comparison is the Fold8 Ultra with 45W wired charging; if Apple stays at 20 to 30W, the day-to-day difference will be charging speed, not capacity. Wait for the independent tests next week before judging.
