Leaks Detail iPhone Fold’s 4:3 Layout as Samsung Plans Wider Z Fold Rival

Fresh leaks point to a 4:3 inner screen with a small front panel, signaling Apple’s focus on the unfolded experience.

Overview

  • Multiple reports suggest Apple is targeting a compact outer display of roughly 5.3–5.5 inches paired with a 4:3 inner panel around 7.6–7.8 inches.
  • Ice Universe’s latest figures, cited by Chip.de, list the iPhone Fold at 5.35 inches outside and 7.58 inches inside, with Samsung’s rumored Wide Fold at 5.4 and 7.6 inches.
  • Renders and leak reports describe crease‑reducing measures such as a metal pressure plate, a liquid‑metal hinge, in‑cell touch technology, and ultrathin flexible glass.
  • Unconfirmed specifications point to an A20 processor, a C2 modem, dual rear cameras, a side‑mounted fingerprint reader, and a price estimated at $2,000–$2,500.
  • Both models are reportedly targeting a launch in the second half of 2026, with commentators noting that Apple’s smaller front screen could compromise folded‑mode browsing and typing.
