The list cited by MacRumors largely overlaps with previously shared CAD-based drawings. Therefore, the sheath is especially dual rear camera, Camera Control It offers important details in terms of cut and magnetic accessory support.

Accessory manufacturers often make preparations using leaked CAD files or mock-up devices before new phones are released. However, these early cases are not always accurate. Still, in the past, many manufacturers got details like camera placement and button location right early on in their iPhone models. That’s why iFunSmart’s case bears a serious signal for Apple’s first foldable phone.

Images from iFunSmart show a slim case made up of two separate pieces for a phone that opens like a book. This choice offers a more suitable solution for a hinged body instead of a one-piece case. A small camera protrusion on the back and two lens cuts It is located. Thus, previous claims that Apple could leave out the telephoto camera in the first iPhone Fold model are gaining strength again.

These details show that the case was prepared not only for its general form, but also for the device’s edge and camera surround measurements.

On the other hand, the magnets on the case do not ensure that the phone itself will carry MagSafe magnets. The manufacturer may have added these magnets to the case for compatibility with wireless charging accessories, magnetic car holders and card holders. If Apple aims for an ultra-thin foldable phone, the magnetic accessory could provide part of the experience through the case. For this reason, it is necessary to be cautious about MagSafe support until the official announcement.

The Camera Control claim, previously reported by MacRumors, is also in line with this leak. Apple may limit the number of rear cameras to two while retaining camera control on the first foldable iPhone. On the other hand, competitors such as the Galaxy Z Fold series have been using a triple rear camera arrangement for a long time. iPhone Fold stands out in this table with its simpler camera package, separate case parts and magnetic accessory focus.
