At this point, Apple is far behind its competitors when it comes to producing afoldable phone.
Still, repeated rumors keep claiming that the Cupertino company is working on some folding rig.
We’ve seen piecemeal rumors since at least 2015.
The leak,translated by regular tipster Jukanlosreve, is supposed to summarize research by a firm called zwz.
Though, we couldn’t completely confirm this information based on the tweets.
Assuming everything is true, what can we expect from Apple’s first go at a foldable iPhone?
Read on to find out.
The summary proclaims it as being 9.2mm thick when folded and nearly halving that to 4.6mm when opened up.
Reportedly, the upcomingOppo Find N5might be even thinner at a claimed 4mm.
However, there are no details about the hinge or how it affects the unfolded display.
“The internal screen is comparable to two 6.1-inch phones folded together,” Jukan’s translation reads.
“Resulting in a total size of over 12 inches.”
The Z Fold 6, for comparison, only opens up to a 7.6-inch display.
Beyond that, the display should be UTG Blue, a reasonably flexible material that allows it to bend.
Samsung,GoogleandOppoall use a version of UTG on their folding devices.
No other details were provided on the lens’s strength.
Two cameras would put it in line with the base iPhone models.
Currently, the iPhone 16 features a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide.
We could see similar numbers on the iPhone foldable.
The lack of a telephoto zoom camera would be a huge letdown if true.
Additionally, the leak also lists that the font camera will featuremetalens ultra-thin tech from Apple.
Apple traditionally does not release actual information on battery capacity for its phones beyond tested life.
So until people rip the phones apart battery capacity is generally speculation.
What’s missing?
Will it be OLED?
No clue for now.
Also, what kind of chip will Apple use?
We have more questions but finally have a few more details.
Foldable phones are generally expensive, usually more expensive than even flagship phones.
Jukanlosreve responded to a comment on the tweet claiming that we would see the foldable iPhone in September 2026.
