Apple iPhone Fold Leaks: Screen, Cameras, and Fingerprint Revealed

Apple is said to be ready to launch its expected iPhone Fold which is not confirmed yet as the official name, next year, thus the company will be getting into the foldable smartphone segment. The Digital Chat Station, a Chinese tipster, has leaked information via Weibo that gives us an idea of what the design and features of the device will be like.

The report states that the iPhone Fold will come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and that the folding design will be like that of the currently available folding phones. It is confirmed that the folding model will not have Face ID and also an under-display fingerprint scanner.

The foldable phone's main display is being talked about as a 7.58-inch diagonal and an under-display camera for selfies is also part of the scenario. On the other hand, the exterior cover screen has a 5.25-inch diagonal and will have a hole-punch front camera.

The camera specs are hinting at a dual rear camera setup where one of the sensors is going to be a 48-megapixel resolution one at least. The industry analysts believe that the iPhone Fold could be a game-changer for the future of the foldable smartphone market when it is launched in 2026, even leading the form factor to be accepted by mainstream consumers.

Apple has not made any official announcement regarding the foldable phone, but, the leaks could mean that the company plans to add more products to its iPhone line-up and also take on other expensive foldable devices. The industry experts are watching the situation closely because they think the combination of the phone's special features and its form factor could affect the whole smartphone market next year.
