Apple relies on everything that is innovative on the iPhone Fold
Apple’s first foldable iPhone hides its camera completely under the display – a feature that is missing even with current Samsung models. A well -known leaker has now shared this and even more with some new rumors about the expected features.
Apple’s foldable iPhone takes shape
The well-known Chinese Leaker Digital Chat Station has published new details about the iPhone Fold on the Weibo Social Media Platform. According to its source, Apple plans to implement a visible camera neckline on the external display of the folding iPhone, while the front camera of the inner display should be hidden under the screen.
The expected foldable iPhone from Apple will have a punch-hole camera in the outer display. The inner display of the device foldable in the book style, on the other hand, should be equipped with an under-display camera. This design decision would follow the pattern of the iPhone 18 Pro models expected for 2026, which should also switch to this perforated design.
Technical details and innovations
There are many concrete details about the iPhone fold. The Leaker Digital Chat Station also explained that Apple is currently tending to a somewhat smaller prototype. Apple is planning a resolution of 2713 x 1920 pixels for the inner display, which will be around 7.76 inches (approx. 20 centimeters). The external 5.49-inch screen is said to work with 2088 x 1422 pixels. These resolutions would guarantee a high pixel density and fit into the premium positioning of the device.
Samsung allegedly provides a specially developed display for the device in which the touch sensor was integrated directly into the panel. This technical innovation would enable a 19 percent lower overall thickness compared to current Galaxy Z FOLD components. As a result, Apple could implement a lighter construction and at the same time more stable display structure. There were similar rumors before, but they have never been so concrete. It was also said that there should be no factid.
Further features and market launch
As the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports, Apple will integrate a touch ID sensor into the side switch-on button to save space for other components. The final hardware specifications should only be determined in the second quarter of 2025. Mass production could then start in the fourth quarter of 2026, the market launch is expected for the end of next year. The price for the foldable first generation iPhone is expected to be between $ 2000 and $ 2300 (around 1786 to 2055 euros).
Apple’s entry into the market for foldable smartphones comes comparatively late. Samsung already presented its first Galaxy Fold in 2019, while other manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Motorola have also been offering foldable devices for years. Observers suspect that Apple only wants to introduce technology when it is mature enough to meet the company’s high quality standards.
