JPMorgan Tips 2026 iPhone Fold With Under‑Display 24MP Cameras and Cutout‑Free Screens

The report points to a shift to Touch ID that removes Face ID hardware to keep both panels uninterrupted.

Overview

  • A JPMorgan analyst note, reported by 9to5Mac, says Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected in 2026 with an under‑display 24MP front camera.
  • The device is expected to feature selfie cameras beneath both the outer and inner displays, marking Apple’s first use of under‑panel camera tech.
  • Face ID components are reportedly excluded, with Touch ID taking over, potentially integrated into the power button according to Wccftech.
  • This claim counters earlier rumors of a hole‑punch approach or mixed implementations across the two screens.
  • Industry analysts caution that early under‑display cameras may have image‑quality trade‑offs and that a fully refined all‑screen design could take several more years.
