iPhone Fold details leaked ahead of its launch: Key specs and features
We have been hearing whispers about Apple's first foldable device for a while. Leaks and renders have spread across the internet, claiming what could possibly be seen in a foldable iPhone. In fact, Apple has been securing a number of patents related to foldable device technology, proving that the idea is indeed being explored at the Cupertino headquarters. As for when Apple will actually launch its first foldable — given Apple's history of remaining tight-lipped before launch — official announcements are unlikely until the imminent we can speculate, and in fact, there are multiple reports suggesting that the launch of the foldable iPhone may not be far off. According to a recent report by The Information, the foldable iPhone could arrive in 2026 with the iPhone 18 lineup. The report suggests that Apple will launch its iPhone 18 series in phases, with the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone 18 Fold arriving in September, and the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e launching in early another report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple's foldable device will enter mass production in Q4 2026, with a release either in late 2026 or early 2027. Kuo projects initial shipments between 3 to 5 million units, potentially scaling up to 20 million with a second-generation model expected the following for the delay, Apple is said to be sticking to its idea of perfection and doesn't want to release its foldable device until it meets the company's high Now, coming to the internals — again, nothing is confirmed or leaked by Apple, and we can only speculate based on multiple patents and display by SamsungRumour has it that Apple is relying on Samsung for its foldable display. While earlier rumours hinted at LG Display being involved, more recent leaks claim that Apple has signed an exclusive deal with Samsung to supply the foldable panels. Foldable iPhone screen dimensions Leaks suggest that the first iPhone Fold will reportedly feature a 5.49-inch outer screen for standard smartphone use, and a larger 7.74 to 7.8-inch internal screen when unfolded — similar in size to the iPad mini. The inner display is expected to have a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution at 428ppi, while the outer screen will offer a 2,088 x 1,422 resolution at to reports by Ming-Chi Kuo and other industry insiders, the foldable iPhone display will follow a 4:3 aspect ratio, which will allow the device to offer a tablet-like experience when are also rumours about a hidden under-display camera for the larger screen, while the cover display may feature a standard punch-hole front foldable displayOne of the challenges reportedly delaying Apple's first foldable is the display crease. The company is said to be investing heavily to deal with the issue. According to the company's patent filings, it has explored various design ideas for a creaseless display including self-healing display layers and outer-folding concepts and even stretchable this year, there were also reports claiming that Apple would use a liquid metal hinge, a material said to be twice as strong as titanium, for improved durability and folding Apple is also rumoured to be upgrading its display driver ICs from a 28nm to a more efficient 16nm process to offer better battery Fold design, battery, and camerasAs for other specifications, leaked details suggest that the iPhone Fold will have a 9 to 9.5mm thickness when closed and 4.5 to 4.8mm when opened — making it one of the slimmest foldables yet. For the slimness, Apple is said to follow the design blueprint from the rumored iPhone 17 Air which is likely to arrive this year as the slimmest iPhone till date. There are also reports that Apple could use a 5,000mAh 3D stacked battery, based on Apple's 2020 battery the photography front, the foldable iPhone may house two rear sensors similar to the standar iPhone 16 design — likely a Main and an Ultra-Wide — and a front-facing camera when unfolded. There is also speculation about the use of an ultra-thin Meta Lens, though this remains Fold priceApple has never shied away from putting an exorbitant price tag on its latest innovations, so we expect the first foldable iPhone to be heavy on the pockets. According to rumoured price estimates from various analysts, including Kuo, Apple could price the foldable iPhone between $2,000 and $2,500. One report from March 2025 pegged the cost at around $2,300 — placing it above the Mac Studio and in line with high-end foldables like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series.

20th anniversary iPhone could get the design we've all been waiting for
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. 2027 will mark the original iPhone's 20th anniversary, and Apple's planning a major shake-up to its handset's design that could finally see former design chief Jony Ive's dream of a full-screen design come to life. A new report from The Information claims that at least one 2027 iPhone Model will feature a "truly edge-to-edge display" to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first iPhone, according to sources familiar with Apple's plans. To do this, Apple's planning on tucking the front-facing camera underneath the screen. That way, the display can stretch the entire length of the device without any unsightly cutouts or bezels to break it up. Before Apple goes all in on that all-screen dream, though, it's planning to use the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max as a stepping stone of sorts. Each handset will ditch the current pill-shaped cutout at the top for a small pinhole in the top-left corner to house the front camera and Face ID, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told The Information. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman echoed as much back in March, when he claimed Apple plans to move some of the Dynamic Island hardware under the iPhone's display to shrink the pill-shaped cutout even further. If history serves, Apple saves its biggest design changes as a selling point for its higher-end phones. So don't be surprised if this all-screen display is exclusive to the iPhone 19 Pro models come 2027. Ever since Apple introduced Face ID and the notch on the iPhone X, many people have been anxiously awaiting the day when we get a truly all-screen iPhone. Rumors have been circulating for a while about Apple's plan for an under-display camera (UDC) and Face ID tech, dating all the way back to the iPhone 14 Pro. While there had been rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro could be the first phone with under-display Face ID, other leaks claimed Apple was pushing that particular design shake-up back to 2026 at the earliest, which aligns with these latest claims. That the selfie camera will be moving under the display as well is an interesting wrinkle. A few Chinese phone manufacturers have jumped on this emerging trend, albeit with limited success. Under-display cameras simply don't stack up to modern hole-punch cameras, and few consumers are willing to settle for lower-quality photos just to have an uninterrupted display. But 2027 is still a few years out, giving Apple ample time for the tech to catch up and smooth out all the kinks of under-display cameras. If these rumors pan out, that dream of an all-screen iPhone could be here before you know it.

iPhone 18 Pro rumours have started coming and here is everything we know about it
The iPhone 18 Pro might get under-display Face ID sensors. Yes, we are talking about the iPhone 18 Pro, which is still more than a year away. But the buzz has started, the kind of buzz that is worth talking about. According to rumours, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which are likely to arrive in 2026, may get a punch-hole front camera cutout because Apple is reportedly testing an under-display Face ID there are rumours of six iPhones in the iPhone 18 series, with the launch divided in two phases. Let's take a detailed look at everything we are hearing about Apple's iPhone 18 Face ID system for iPhone 18 ProAccording to a rumour circulating on Chinese social platform Weibo, Apple is currently testing under-display Face ID technology for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. If it works fine, this may see the company finally ditch the pill-shaped notch that has somewhat restricted even the premium iPhone Pro models from offering a truly edge-to-edge screen experience, something that is common with Android phones. The tech Apple is currently testing is said to allow these Pro models to feature just a single hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera, unlike the pill shaped notch which currently houses selfie camera and Face-ID sensor. Better than Android in-display Face ID systemadvertisement Now, Apple will not just match the design of Android phones, but its in-display Face ID sensor is likely to be better. Rumours suggest that while Android rivals have adopted under-display sensors years ago, they've largely relied on 2D facial recognition or in-display fingerprint readers. Apple's Face ID, by contrast, relies on a complex system of sensors and dot projectors to enable secure 3D face recognition. It is important to note that Apple is still testing this tech, and there are chances that the company might not introduce this technology until it is ready — possibly by 2026. As we have seen, Apple has a history of scrapping features that don't meet its performance and quality standards, especially when it comes to biometric 18 under-the-hood upgradesAside from under-display Face ID, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to bring several hardware upgrades. One of the possibilities is a variable aperture camera system for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which could significantly improve the low-light performance of Apple's flagship models by allowing the lens to adjust based on lighting iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are also expected to debut with the A20 chip, which will likely be built using TSMC's third-generation 3nm process. There were earlier reports about a potential shift to TSMC's 2nm process, but only time will tell. Compared to the current iPhone 16 series and the upcoming iPhone 17 series, the A20 in the iPhone 18 series would definitely deliver a significant performance and efficiency 18 series launch in two phasesadvertisementMeanwhile, another rumour about the iPhone 18 series is coming from a report by The Information. This report claims that Apple is planning to change its traditional iPhone release cycle starting with the iPhone 18 series. In this change, rather than launching all iPhone models at one event, Apple may introduce the Pro models — iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a new ultra-thin model possibly called iPhone 18 Air — in autumn 2026, while the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e will follow in early report suggests that this phased launch cycle will allow Apple more time to manage complex production processes, especially for new form-factors like the foldable iPhone, which is also being tested with under-display Face ID. It is also likely to help Apple smoothen supply chain challenges as it scales up production in newer markets like India.

Let's examine it more closely. iPhone 18 series expected launch timeline Although the iPhone 17 series is anticipated to launch in September of this year, there have already been several leaks regarding the iPhone 18 series, which is anticipated to debut in 2026. It is thought that Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models would undergo a major overhaul. iPhone 18 Pro's latest leak Apple iPhone 18 Pro expected to launch in 2026 | Credit: Macrumors According to The Information, which cites people with knowledge of Apple's intentions, the pill-shaped island will be replaced with a single punch-hole cutout on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. It will hold a front-facing selfie camera and be placed in the top left corner of the screen. Interestingly, it has been stated that Apple would be integrating the required Face ID technology behind the screen for the first time. The pill-shaped cutout that was present on the iPhone 15 series and later will no longer be necessary, thanks to this. A greater screen estate will result from a smaller punch-hole cutout for the front camera. Also Read: iPhone 19 Air to debut with larger screen? Confirmed by Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Ross Young of DSCC hinted a few days ago that the iPhones of the upcoming year would feature under-screen Face ID. It's unknown if Apple will adopt the new design or drop Dynamic Island features. According to the study, at least one iPhone model in 2027 would have a genuinely edge-to-edge display thanks to the design change made to the iPhone 18 Pro models the following year. This implies that the Cupertino-based tech behemoth would incorporate the front camera and Face ID sensors behind the screen of the 19 Pro versions of the iPhone.

iPhone 18 Pro under-display Face ID now in testing, rumor claims
Apple is allegedly testing under-display Face ID sensors for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, according to a new rumor out of China. These models would normally launch in September 2026, and one differentiating factor between them and the other two iPhone 18 models would be this under-display 3D face scanning tech, which would allow the duo to only have a single hole-punch for the selfie camera - no more notch. Of course, the fact that Apple is testing the technology doesn't mean it will be happy with the results of the testing, but this is still promising. Being able to move the Face ID scanning tech under the display would give these iPhones a much more seamless look on the front, just like their Android-powered counterparts have had for years - but in that case at the expense of not actually having 3D face scanning and relying solely on the camera for unlocking, which is a much less secure way of doing things. The notch would be gone if this rumor pans out So with under-display Face ID, we'd get the best of both worlds - no more unsightly notches, but with the security we've come to expect from Apple's solution. Interestingly, the first folding iPhone is also being tested with under-display Face ID. The iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Air will rely on the traditional notch, at least for the time being.
