Overview
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is evaluating a square flip-style foldable iPhone, and its release is still uncertain.
- The reporting indicates Apple's first foldable is expected around September 2026 as a book-style device with a large internal display.
- A separate leak claims the inward-folding model shifts the volume keys to the top-right, keeps power with Touch ID and an AI camera button on the right, and locates the motherboard on that side.
- The leaker says freeing the left edge for screen structure and battery allows the largest battery capacity yet in an iPhone.
- Claimed specifications include a 7.8-inch inner screen, a 5.5-inch outer display, roughly 9 mm closed thickness, a single punch-hole front camera, dual rear cameras, and an A20 Pro chip said to use TSMC's 2 nm WMCM packaging.
