For years, Apple has sustained iPhone endurance not through brute battery size but through disciplined efficiency — a quiet philosophy that now faces its most demanding test. As the company moves toward a foldable iPhone, expected sometime between 2023 and 2024, the physical constraints of hinges and large displays threaten to outpace what restraint alone can solve. A technology called integrated passive devices — shrinking the supporting components around a processor to reclaim interior space — may be Apple's answer, one already beginning to benefit the iPhone 13 lineup.
