Foldable iPhone Leak Reveals New Camera Details

A caller rumor contiguous surfaced astir Apple's book-style foldable iPhone, acceptable to beryllium released adjacent year, and this clip it's astir the cameras.


In a erstwhile report, manufacture expert Ming-Chi Kuo said helium expects the foldable iPhone (or "iPhone Fold" for short) to see a dual-lens rear camera, but Kuo provided nary different specifics. Now, prolific Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station claims that those dual lenses volition beryllium 48 megapixels each.

This shouldn't travel arsenic excessively overmuch of a surprise. The existent iPhone 16 Pro models diagnostic a 48-megapixel Main camera and a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, and it would marque consciousness for Apple to guarantee the premium foldable's rear lenses are astatine slightest equivalent to its Pro models to warrant that rumored ~$2,000 terms tag.

Digital Chat Station did not supply further lens specifications, but if Apple wants to support immoderate diagnostic parity with its high-end iPhone models, the foldable volition person a 24mm main camera with a ƒ/1.78 aperture and second-generation sensor-shift optical representation stabilization.

The foldable's main camera volition besides apt beryllium susceptible of iPhone 16 "Fusion" – alleged due to the fact that the strategy combines the high-resolution sensor with astute in-sensor cropping to present aggregate high-quality focal lengths – similar 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm – from a azygous main camera. Don't expect a telephoto lens though, apt owed to abstraction constraints.

According to Kuo, the foldable volition besides person a front-facing camera for some folded and unfolded states. Other sources person claimed that the interior show features an under-screen selfie camera, portion the outer show – successful the device's folded authorities – volition person a hole punch-style front-facing camera.

Aside from cameras, present are immoderate different foldable iPhone features we've heard from sources plugged into Apple's proviso chain:

• 5.5-inch outer display with 2,088 x 1,422 resolution.


• 7.8-inch interior display with 2,713 x 1,920 resolution.


• Touch ID integrated into the Side fastener (i.e. no Face ID).


• Liquid metal "crease-free" hinge mechanism.


• Same high density artillery cells arsenic iPhone 17 Air.


• Titanium chassis.

Another constituent of enactment regarding today's rumor: Digital Chat Station claims that the latest interior show Apple is investigating is astir 7.6 inches alternatively than 7.8 inches, albeit with the aforesaid resolution.

That seems unlikely. Analyst Jeff Pu said successful March that the instrumentality had entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase astatine Foxconn, and adjusting the show size during oregon aft the NPI signifier is virtually unheard of – particularly for a institution similar Apple moving with Foxconn. Kuo, who antecedently corroborated the 7.8-inch show dimension, besides said the instrumentality is expected to participate accumulation successful September-October this year, which is awfully adjacent to commencement introducing changes.

An nonstop motorboat day is presently unknown, but some Kuo and Pu accidental wide accumulation is planned for the 2nd fractional of 2026. Bloomberg newsman Mark Gurman has besides said helium expects the instrumentality to beryllium launched adjacent year.
