Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone just got a little more real, thanks to a new leak that shares details about its display sizes, resolutions, and even some interesting camera tech. If what we’re hearing is accurate, Apple might be preparing to introduce a foldable with both high-end visuals and a sleek, uninterrupted screen design.
According to reliable leaker Digital Chat Stationthe so-called iPhone Fold will feature two displays. The main internal screen is said to be 7.76 inches with a resolution of 2713 by 1920, which would give it a pixel density of 428 pixels per inch. That’s a bit lower than the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 460 ppi, but still sharp for a foldable. The cover screen is reportedly 5.49 inches with a resolution of 2088 by 1422, also hitting 460 ppi. That external size puts it closer to the compact iPhone 13 mini, which had a 5.4-inch screen, suggesting Apple is aiming for a pocket-friendly foldable when closed.

As for camera design, the leak claims the external display will stick with a familiar punch-hole cutout, likely in the Dynamic Island style. But the big twist is the internal screen. Apple may use under-display camera technology here, which would allow the main fold-out screen to remain uninterrupted by any notches or cutouts. This tech has shown up in some Android devices already, but if Apple is jumping in, it likely means the tech is maturing enough to meet their usual quality standards.
In the broader foldable market, Apple is late to the party. Samsung has led the way with its Galaxy Z Fold line, and companies like Google and OnePlus have already thrown their hats in the ring. But as always, Apple seems to be taking its time to perfect the experience rather than rushing something to market.
The rumored specs might not blow anyone away on paper, especially when compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. But Apple’s focus on usability and polish could make all the difference. If they manage to deliver a foldable with minimal compromises and a truly seamless display, it could be the tipping point that brings foldables to a more mainstream audience. Given the skepticism around creases and durability, this foldable iPhone might just be what it takes to change the conversation.
