Once whispers of the rumored Folding Apple iPhone began, this well-known account of Chinese rumors has quite recently revealed a rather major, and credible type of exclusive report on the foldable iPhone. As leaks go, this one is gaining somewhat of a stir in tech circles.
What could the design of the Folding Apple iPhone look like?
As it stands now, reports are saying that the folding iPhone would be of a book-type folding design.
It shall be very small when closed, with a modest outer display opening to perhaps anywhere from 7.5 to 8 inches of foldable OLED display on the inside.
Most importantly, Apple is getting closer to perfecting a technology that will render the crease or fold line on these screens absolutely invisible. If true, this could provide Apple with a huge edge in the foldable smartphone category.
Displays and Technologies
Rumor has it that the folding iPhone carries with it an advanced LTPO OLED panel that promises to deliver a higher refresh rate while using a lot less power. It is also highly plausible that they will use a special technology that enhances the durability of this panel, which is ultra-thin glass (UTG).
According to the Chinese leaker, probably Apple doesn't care much about this component quality, which is why folding iPhones haven't been launched yet.
Camera and Features
The under-display camera is one of the features of the folding iPhone, with none of the notch or punch-hole blemishing the large display. Alternatively, there could be a separate front camera for selfies and video calls while in the folded position.
Touch ID would probably make a return for security, implementing a side-mounted fingerprint sensor since using Face ID may prove quite difficult with a foldable design.
Launch Date and Price
As per the most famous Chinese rumor-mongers, the foldable iPhone must not see the light of day before 2026. Apparently, it undergoes an extensive timeline of prototyping, engineering, and testing.
For prices on foldables, it may have the highest price tag of any iPhone thus far made with estimates edging above $2,000.
Conclusion
While still very speculative and probably leaking, the info that arises from such Chinese sources seem to suggest that the company wants to leap in this foldable world with a perfect product. The only thing left is whether we will witness the folding iPhone as the next chapter of smartphones.
