New Images of iPhone Fold Suggest Surprising Features

December 30, 2025, 2:07 pm | Read time: 2 minutes

New images suggest a possible design for the iPhone Fold, making Apple’s entry into the foldable market seem tangible. Two displays, an extremely slim casing, and technology to counter the notorious display crease indicate how seriously Apple might be taking this form factor. But how reliable are the leaks–and when might the rumor finally become reality?

For years, rumors have swirled about a foldable iPhone from Apple. This dream of many tech fans was recently fueled by leaker Jon Prosser, who presented new renderings on his YouTube channel. The timing is interesting, as Prosser is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Apple.

Book Format and Dual Display

The images show an iPhone Fold in a book format that opens inward. When closed, it features an outer display with a 5.5-inch diagonal. When opened, the device offers a 7.8-inch inner display. Both screens are fully functional displays with their own camera cutouts. This confirms speculation that Apple might opt for separate cameras for the inner and outer displays.

Many manufacturers have now reached the fourth, fifth or even sixth generation of foldables. Apple, on the other hand, is still not represented in this product category.

Technology Against the Display Crease

Particularly noteworthy is the thickness mentioned by Prosser. When folded, the iPhone Fold is said to be about 9 millimeters thick. When opened, the thickness of each half of the casing reduces to about 4.5 millimeters. This could allow Apple to compete with current models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is already available with a similar design.

An unresolved issue with foldable displays is the visible crease inside. According to Prosser, Apple might use a special metal plate that evenly distributes pressure when folding, reducing the strain on the display. Whether this technology can completely eliminate the crease remains unclear.

Uncertain Market Launch

Apple has neither confirmed nor commented on a foldable iPhone. Industry observers expect a possible market launch no earlier than 2026. If Apple does indeed present such a device, it would be a significant step into a market currently dominated by Android manufacturers. Whether the images reflect the final design of the iPhone Fold or are merely an interpretation by the leaker remains open.
