Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the launch of a foldable iPhone, and while the company has yet to make an official announcement, new leaks online are fueling excitement. According to tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, Apple is actively testing prototypes. The device is rumored to feature a compact outer display and a medium-sized inner screen.
What to Expect from the Foldable iPhone?
Reports suggest that when fully unfolded, the foldable iPhone will feature a 12-inch screen. The outer display is expected to be 6.1 inches, while the internal display will expand to a larger size. This aligns with previous speculations that Apple is following a “book-style” foldable design, as opposed to a clamshell model, reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold.
Samsung’s Role in the Display Panel
Samsung is said to play a significant role in the foldable iPhone’s display, providing 70% of the screen’s lens technology. The remaining 30% will be supplied by the Korean manufacturer. This marks another collaboration between the tech giants. There are also rumors that LG Display may contribute to the screen manufacturing process for the new device.
Launch Timeline
The leaks suggest not only the specifications of the foldable iPhone but also a potential launch window. Apple may unveil the device alongside its flagship iPhone lineup in 2026. The foldable iPhone is expected to feature ultra-thin glass, which will enhance its premium appeal.
As expectations continue to rise, this upcoming revolution in Apple’s smartphone journey could set a new standard in foldable technology.
