The form factor is said to provide an iPad-like experience when unfolded. Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone later this year, and alleged leaked dummy units of the device recently gives a peek into what the device could look like. Fresh images shared by well-known leaker Sonny Dickson show a more realistic version of the rumored device, including displays, cameras and even a visible crease on the folding screen. Unlike many foldable smartphones currently on the market, the rumored device, often referred to as the iPhone Ultra, is expected to feature a shorter and wider design.
iPhone Fold leaked dummy units reveal design details
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is said to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner screen.
The foldable iPhone may launch only in a white colour option, according to Dickson. The leaked images show an edge-to-edge outer display with a centered front camera cutout, a design that would be a first for Apple. The internal display appears to place the front-facing camera toward the left side. On the back, the device features a horizontal camera bar that houses a dual-camera setup. The dummy units also show a faint crease running through the middle of the inner display. Since dummy units are generally created by accessory makers ahead of a product launch, the final version could differ from what is seen in the leaked images. Other expected features include Touch ID, a titanium frame and Apple’s A20 chipset.
