Recent leaks have unveiled Apple's initial foldable iPhone through dummy unit photos that provide one of the most detailed glimpses into the anticipated device. The images depict a broad book-style foldable form. They also reveal details about the displays, camera setup, and back panel design. Expected to launch later this year under names like iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, this device would represent Apple's debut in the foldable phone market.

New iPhone Fold Images Show Wide Screen, White Finish

Tech blogger Sonny Dickson (@SonnyDickson) has posted photos of an alleged dummy unit for Apple's rumoured foldable iPhone on X. The leaked images display the device in a white finish along with a book-style folding design that matches current foldable phones.

When opened, the iPhone Fold seems to include a sizable inner screen with narrow bezels and a front camera placed in the upper-left area. The central fold line shows on the dummy unit, yet reports indicate Apple aims to lessen the crease visibility in the production model.

The images feature a large outer display on the front when the supposed iPhone Fold is closed. The screen looks fairly wide versus many current foldable phones, resulting in a shorter and wider shape than standard iPhone designs. Earlier reports suggest the device might include a 7.8-inch inner display, delivering screen space comparable to an iPad Mini when opened.

On the back, the dummy unit of the foldable iPhone includes a pill-shaped camera island containing two outward-facing cameras. An LED flash is positioned next to the sensors, and a separate grille-style opening appears in the module as well. The phone shows flat edges with physical buttons along the sides.

Dickson indicated that Apple might launch the foldable iPhone solely in white at first. Still, prior reports have mentioned a possible black option, and a recent supply chain update noted the company is also evaluating an indigo shade. Apple is likely to limit colour choices for its first foldable smartphone.

With a 7.8-inch inner display that could deliver a tablet-like experience when unfolded, the foldable iPhone is expected to include a 5.5-inch cover screen. Apple plans to tailor the foldable iPhone software for the larger inner display, adding multitasking features and support for expansive apps.
