Apple is about to enter a new era for the iPhone. After years of rumors, leaks and speculation, everything indicates that the first folding iPhone is closer than ever to become a reality. And it will not come in any way: it will do it with an ambitious proposal that, according to new leaks from China, could completely change our idea of what a smartphone can be.
While it had been talking in recent weeks about what the folding iPhone would be like in which Apple is working, now the information is more specific than ever, revealing even the resolution of its panels.
Folding iPhone screen: features
According to the well -known Digital Chat Station filter, the device will have a Book type design With two clearly differentiated screens. The interior, 7.76 inches, will have a resolution of 2.713 x 1.920 pixels And, most surprisingly, you will integrate a camera under the screen. This would not only allow a more immersive visual experience without interruptions, but would also make a difference against other folding markets that choose to place the camera in a “perforation” on the panel or by means of a notch or island, such as the current iPhone.
As for the outer screen, there is talk of a panel of 5.49 inches with resolution 2,088 x 1,422 pixels. Unlike the internal, this would have a perforated camera, ideal for fast video calls or selfies without opening the terminal. The aspect of the inner panel would be 4: 3, a very comfortable format both to consume content and for productivity tasks, something Apple would be especially taking care of to differentiate its proposal from the rest.
On the other hand, the renowned Ming-Chi Kuo analyst has confirmed these dimensions and added that the interior screen will be free of folds, something that is usually a problem in this type of terminals due to the wrinkles it causes.
Another surprise is the possible FACE ID absence. Apparently, Apple would bet on integrating Touch ID into a side button to save internal space, leaving aside its characteristic facial recognition system. As for the rear camera system, a dual module is expected, although details about their sensors or capabilities are not yet known.
Price and departure date of the folding iPhone
All this points to an ultra premium range device that will not be suitable for all pockets. According to Mark Gurman, Journalist of Bloomberg with good sources within the company, the price of the folding iPhone will be around 2,000 dollars. That is, Apple will bet on a niche market that seeks the latest in technology regardless of cost. Jeff Pu, another usual analyst in the Apple ecosystem, says that the device is already in the introduction of a new product in Foxconn, which means that its mass production would begin in the second half of 2026.
And although it is not clear if this folding iPhone will replace some model of the current range or will be presented as a new line, it seems clear that it will share many technologies with the iPhone 17 Air, the model that will take the relay of the “plus” in the next generation. This includes advances in battery, chip, modem and screen, which guarantees performance at expected.
Apple has not made official statements, as usual, but everything indicates that the company is preparing one of its most popular releases in recent years.
