Overview
- New images and a video from leakers depict a book-style model with a 7.8-inch 4:3 inner display and a smaller cover screen reported around 5.3–5.5 inches.
- Reports describe Apple’s push for a near crease-free panel using liquid-metal hinge components and custom metal plates, with Samsung Display said to supply the inner OLED.
- Leaked specs emphasize thinness at roughly 9mm closed and 4.5mm open, with Face ID reportedly replaced by a side-mounted Touch ID to save space.
- Camera and internals are portrayed as trade-offs for slimness, including a dual rear setup without a telephoto, under-display and cover selfie cameras, high-density batteries, and mentions of a C2 modem and A20-class chip.
- Pricing is forecast in the $1,800 to $2,500 range, and the renders come from Jon Prosser’s Front Page Tech as analysts and supply-chain notes flag a potential fall 2026 target with possible delay to 2027.
