New Renders Point to Apple's Passport-Style 4:3 iPhone Fold

Apple has not confirmed a foldable iPhone, with industry expectations pointing to a possible 2026 debut.

Overview

  • A new video from leaker Jon Prosser shows unverified renders of an inward-folding device with a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch inner screen, each depicted with its own camera cutout.
  • Separate reporting from The Information, relayed by heise.de, describes a wider 4:3 layout with an outer display around 5.3 inches and an inner panel near 7.7 inches in a passport-like form factor.
  • Prosser claims Apple is testing a special internal metal plate to distribute hinge pressure and reduce the crease on the main display.
  • The renders cite a folded thickness of about 9 millimeters, which would align with current premium foldables if the measurement proves accurate.
  • South Korean media report that Samsung is exploring a similar 4:3 wide foldable concept with a smaller outer screen of roughly 5.4 inches.
