Overview
- Jon Prosser released detailed 3D renders claiming to show Apple’s first foldable iPhone, a device Apple has not confirmed.
- The visuals depict a book-style design with a roughly 7.8-inch 4:3 inner panel and a compact ~5.3–5.5-inch cover screen in a notably thin body (about 9mm closed, ~4.5mm open).
- Prosser says Apple’s approach aims to eliminate the visible crease using a metal pressure‑distribution plate and liquid‑metal hinge components, though real-world manufacturing success remains unproven.
- The leak indicates Touch ID in the power button instead of Face ID, high‑density batteries and Apple’s C2 modem, and a simplified dual‑rear‑camera setup.
- Most reports point to a September 2026 debut alongside iPhone 18 Pro models, with some forecasts cautioning a slip into 2027, and pricing estimates cluster around $2,000 to $2,500 as Prosser’s ongoing Apple lawsuit fuels scrutiny of the claims.
