Foldable iPhone Resolutions Leak With Under-Screen Camera Tipped

[MacRumors]

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone (or "iPhone Fold") will feature two screens as part of its book-style design, and a Chinese leaker claims to know the resolutions for both of them.

According to the Weibo-based account Digital Chat Station, the inner display, which is approximately 7.76 inches, will use a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution and feature "under-screen camera technology." Meanwhile, the 5.49-inch outer display will use 2,088 x 1,422 resolution, and this screen will allegedly have a punch-hole camera.

Digital Chat Station previously claimed that the inner folding display will have a 4:3 aspect ratio, and they also earlier revealed the alleged display dimensions of the iPhone Fold. Reputable Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has since corroborated these dimensions, additionally describing the inner screen as "crease-free." However, talk of the device using under-screen camera technology has not been claimed up until now.

That said, rumors have suggested Apple is also working on a foldable iPad, and Digital Chat Station has previously claimed that this device will use under-display Face ID technology, so it could be that Apple is seeking design parity between the two foldable devices. Additionally, Kuo believes the rear-facing camera on the foldable iPhone will use dual lenses and that the device will forgo Face ID authentication, instead using a Touch ID side button as a means to save precious internal space.

Apple will launch its long-rumored foldable iPhone next year with a ~$2,000 premium price tag attached, expects well-connected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. According to analyst Jeff Pu, the device recently entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn, with mass production slated to begin in the second half of 2026.

According to Gurman, the device will take advantage of the display, battery, modem, and chip advances that Apple has made in its development of the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to replace the "Plus" model in Apple's smartphone lineup this year.

I will believe it when I see it in person 😮

 

[Spike1999]

So the iPad mini killer?

 

[TonnyM]

Do it will have the screen size of iPhone Mini, sounds great to me.

 

[JapanApple]

Well, it was due to come out in some form at this point. Looks interesting but no thanks no need for this type of style smart device right now. But there will be a need for those that want it.

 

[JokoWidodo]

hope it runs iPadOS

 

[DBZmusicboy01]

iPhone 18 Pro Max / Ultra is the better idea. The whole phone folding thing will end up being another Vision Pro. Too expensive and too fragile.

 

[Alfonson]

Looks good but it will likely take a few years until it reaches a reasonable price point.

The inner screen compared to an iPad Mini

 

[hoorayforhollywood]

I just feel there's a missing element here that I hope Apple have got figured out in the OS. I use a Max and don't need any more screen. They've got to make roughly 2x the screen be USEFUL, not just larger. I'd bet Apple Pencil will be compatible but not on future standard-sized iPhones. But I'm not sure that's enough.

 

[Dr McKay]

So the iPad mini killer?

Certainly not at that price 😅

 

[Tripps9000]

I wonder who is going to be able to afford it with high prices taking a bite out of everybody’s budget😵‍💫

 

[MRSugarD]

It wouldn't make sense and it would be seen as a huge downgrade if the new pricey folding iPhone will come with TouchID only. Every other iPhone has FaceID and one can expect it to be part of the new flexing iPhone. Question remains where it can be placed: On the outer screen to unlock for convenience or on the inner screen as well. What worries me too is the hole punch design like we see on any other Android device. Why not go for under screen camera technology on the second screen as well?

 

[contacos]

Too small but I guess they need to save something for Gen 3

 

[klasma]

Do it will have the screen size of iPhone Mini, sounds great to me.

It won't, completely different aspect ratio, much wider and less tall.

 

[ThisIsMike]

I thought it would be 1,999. Not anymore. Considering all the issues now, I think at best, it starts 2,199. I could see 2,499. It’s going to be expensive as eff.

 

[ItsASpider]

So the iPad mini killer?

I'm not sure a $2000+ device is gonna kill a $500+ device.

Well, the good thing is, the Apple Fold won’t replace the other iPhone’s. It’s good to have options.

Finally something iPhone 12/13 Mini sized again (when closed)!

 

[SilmarilFinder]

So the iPad mini killer?

Must be John Wick with that price

 

[darngooddesign]

I just want them to call it the iPhonebook.

MR needs to fix their render as there is no way that icons will be on the actual fold.

 

[klasma]

According to this leak, the inner screen will have around 428 DPI, unusual.

Inner vs. outer screen:

Sounds pretty boring to me. Not sure why a folding iPhone would be interesting at all for 99.999999% of people out there.

Not really, see https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...er-screen-camera-tipped.2455274/post-33858843

I'm not sure a $2000+ device is gonna kill a $500+ device.

But when you combine the prices of both devices, it is already close if not over $2k depending on the options you choose.
