Leak Uncovers Apple’s 12-Inch Foldable iPhone Screen
An insider has disclosed details about Apple's new foldable iPhone, which features a massive 12-inch screen. This groundbreaking innovation is set to transform the smartphone industry.
Is Apple Crafting a Foldable iPhone?
While competitors have already launched their foldable phones, Apple appears to be lagging behind. Yet, persistent rumors suggest that Cupertino is developing such a device.
Recently, a significant leak on site X unveiled specific details hinting at a massive unfolded screen. These insights, interpreted by expert Jukanlosreve, are believed to originate from a study by zwz, potentially linked to Chinese ball bearings manufacturer ZWZ Bearings.
A Sleek, Lightweight Design for the Foldable iPhone
Leaked details reveal that the foldable iPhone, manufactured by Apple’s regular partner Foxconn, will be exceptionally thin at 9.2mm when folded, halving to just 4.6mm when unfolded. This would make it one of the thinnest phones globally, even outdoing the current record-holder, the Honor Magic V3, which measures 4.35mm unfolded.
Unprecedented Screen Size
The upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature an internal screen equivalent to two 6.1-inch displays combined, totaling over 12 inches. If confirmed, this would place the device between the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro, making it the largest foldable phone on the market.
Technical Specifications Still Unclear
While some specs like dual rear cameras and a 5000mAh battery capacity have been leaked, many details remain uncertain. Questions about the type of display and the integrated chip are still unanswered.
The release date for the foldable iPhone is rumored for fall 2026, followed by a foldable iPad/MacBook in 2027. The price is still unknown, but given the typically higher cost of foldable phones, Apple may position this new iPhone as a premium offering, similar to the exorbitantly priced Vision Pro.
It seems we have a long wait ahead before getting our hands on a foldable iPhone.
