The foldable iPhone continues its development, and this time a Chinese leaker claims to know the dimensions of both screens , both when fully unfolded and in their folds. It’s the user of the Chinese social network Weibo, Digital Chat Station , who is responsible for revealing some additional details about this iPhone, which will be the most innovative in many years.
An under-screen camera technology in the foldable iPhone
There are some interesting tidbits that Digital Chat Station has revealed. The most surprising is that Apple could bet on under-display camera technology on the device’s internal screen, meaning that when the foldable iPhone is fully open, its camera won’t be physically visible. Its resolution will be 2713 x 1920 pixels. On the other hand, the external screen, which will be visible when the iPhone is fully folded, will have a resolution of 2088 x 1422 with a size of 5.49 inches with a punch-hole camera design.
Ming-Chi Kuo corroborated the screen dimensions and added to this information that the foldable iPhone’s screen will not have any wrinkles. Recall that Apple has been fighting for a long time for this factor; it was desired that the screen of this iPhone be the best in terms of durability, and they carried out an in-depth exploration and research to find the supplier that could meet the demands and expectations of quality. Previously, the same Chinese leaker indicated that the internal screen will have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
A foldable iPad is already in the launch orbit after the foldable iPhone.
Those in Cupertino won’t stop once the foldable iPhone is released and will continue to push for more major releases. The next step will be a foldable iPad, which the same Weibo account claimed will have an under-display Face ID. Little by little, the scales will be balanced, and the devices will have a certain kind of “design parity” between the two.
Ming-Chi Kuo has previously indicated that the foldable iPhone will likely feature a dual-lens device and lack Face ID due to the under-display camera technology. It’s believed that facial recognition isn’t yet ready and that Touch ID will be used instead, also due to a space issue. What’s still uncertain is its price, although Mark Gurman previously predicted a minimum price of $2,000 .
Another well-known analyst within Apple’s supply chain, Jeff Pu, has indicated that the foldable iPhone is already part of a new product introduction phase at Foxconn. It’s just a matter of a few more months until the foldable iPhone officially begins production. Once this happens, we’ll be ready to receive information regarding the foldable iPhone’s final design and appearance.
