Apple is expected to enter the foldable smartphone segment next year with a device widely referred to as the iPhone Fold, although its final product name has not yet been confirmed. New details about the device have now surfaced through a post on Weibo by known leakster Digital Chat Station.
Authentication and Form Factor
According to the leak, the iPhone Fold will use a side mounted fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication. The report suggests that Apple will not include Face ID on the device, nor will it rely on an under display fingerprint scanner. The setup aligns with the book style foldable design used by most foldable smartphones currently on the market.
Display Details
The leak also outlines the screen sizes for both displays. The main folding display is said to measure 7.58 inches diagonally and will reportedly feature an under display selfie camera. The outer cover screen is tipped to measure 5.25 inches and will include a hole punch cutout for the front facing camera.
Camera Setup
On the rear, the iPhone Fold is expected to feature a dual camera system. At least one of the rear sensors is said to offer 48MP resolution. No further details about the secondary camera have been shared at this stage.
Market Expectations
Industry analysts have previously suggested that Apple’s entry into the foldable segment could bring renewed attention to the category. If the current timeline holds, the iPhone Fold is expected to arrive in 2026, with its impact on the broader foldable smartphone market becoming clearer after launch.
