According to reports, Apple is developing its first foldable iPhone, which is anticipated to be released later this year. The probable design of Apple’s first foldable iPhone has now been made public by an internet leak. A Weibo leak has shown the anticipated design of the foldable iPhone, according to MacRumors. According to the source, Apple’s first foldable iPhone would have a book-fold-like design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series.
The likely design of the Apple Foldable iPhone
According to the source, the volume button will be positioned on the upper edge and aligned to the right, just like the iPad mini. The right edge will have the Touch ID power button and the Camera Control buttons, while the left side will be sleek and button-free.
The smartphone will have a smaller Dynamic Island since the front-facing camera will have a single punch-hole configuration. An iPhone Air-style plateau with two horizontally positioned cameras, a microphone, and a flash will be used on the back of the smartphone. Regardless of the device’s body color, the plateau will be completely black, unlike earlier models.
According to leaks, consumers will only have two options when the foldable iPhone launches: white and one other color.
Touch ID will return to the foldable.
The iPhone Fold will expand to expose a 7.8-inch display with a 5.3-inch cover screen to do brief chores without opening the smartphone, according to Jeff Pu (via 9to5Mac). The trick is that Apple is reintroducing Touch ID in instead of Face ID. For a flagship gadget, especially one that is breaking new ground, that is a very big change.
The camera configuration consists of two 48MP sensors on the back and two 18MP front cameras on each screen. One is for the main screen, and another is for video calls when the phone is folded. In contrast to the Pro models’ all-aluminum design, Apple is combining titanium and aluminum for the body. The Fold is powered by Apple’s new C2 modem and has 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
