New information continues to emerge about Apple’s foldable iPhone model, which has been on the agenda for a long time. Finally, CAD-based images shared by Sonny Dickson, known for his technology leaks, offer new clues about the possible design of the model called iPhone Fold. The shared images brought to the agenda again the claims that Apple is preparing to enter the foldable phone category. If the current rumors are true, it is stated that the device in question may be announced together with the iPhone 18 Pro series later in the year.
Information that has been included in various reports for a long time indicates that Apple’s foldable phone approach may differ from its competitors in certain aspects. In particular, keeping the cover screen wide shows a design approach that aims to make the device more useful even when it is closed. In addition, the shared CAD drawings offer a more concrete view of details such as the device’s camera placement and screen cutouts.
iPhone Fold may come with a large cover screen and dual camera system
According to leaked images, the iPhone Fold may adopt a similar approach to Google’s first generation Pixel Fold model in terms of design. The cover screen of the device is expected to be approximately 5.5 inches in size. It is stated that there will be a single punch-hole design at the top of this screen for the selfie camera. In addition, it is claimed that the screen may have a 4:3 aspect ratio. This ratio may offer a more practical use compared to the more square screen designs seen on some foldable phones today.
Another striking element in the CAD images is the rear camera module. There is a slightly raised camera area on the back of the device, and this section contains two camera sensors and an LED flash. Current leaks suggest that both cameras may have a resolution of 48 megapixels. Considering the 48 MP sensor that Apple has used in Pro models in recent years, this detail seems technically consistent.
It is said that the main screen inside the device will be approximately 7.8 inches in size. It is stated that there may be a fold mark in the middle of the foldable screen that does not disappear completely but is very limited. In addition, it is stated that there will be a selfie camera hole in the upper left corner of the inner screen. Available information indicates that both selfie cameras can offer 18 megapixel resolution.
On the hardware side, it is reported that Apple pays special attention to the balance of durability and weight. Depending on the leaks, a hinge mechanism made of liquid metal material may be used in the device. In addition, a titanium frame is expected to be preferred in the body structure. This combination aims to limit the weight of the device while increasing the durability of the hinge, which is one of the most critical points of foldable devices.
On the battery side, a capacity of approximately 5,500 mAh is spoken. While larger batteries are preferred in foldable phones due to the large screen, Apple is expected to benefit from its own silicon design for energy efficiency. In addition, a very high level is mentioned in terms of price. According to the information received, it is possible that the iPhone Fold will have a starting price of over $ 2,000.
The foldable phone market has expanded in recent years with models from manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, Honor and Google. Despite this, Apple has not yet introduced an official product in this segment. For this reason, the possible introduction of the iPhone Fold is considered a development that can increase competition, especially in the premium foldable device category.
