Whereas these fashions have been rumored as gadgets that Apple is prototyping, current leaks help the concept Apple is now getting ready to launch a foldable iPhone with a design like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold.
BGR‘s Chris Smith already used ChatGPT to find out the possible look of this iPhone Fold. In his prolonged article, he compares the Galaxy Z Fold show, the Oppo Discover N, and several other different Apple merchandise to create a transparent picture.
Now, the most recent rumor corroborates his earlier article. In keeping with Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (by way of MacRumors), Apple is planning an iPhone Fold with an exterior display that measures 5.49 inches, and an internal 7.74-inch show that unfolds to appear like an iPad.

- Folded: 131.5 x 64.2 mm; 5.40-inch cowl show
Such a foldable would have a foldable show about 1 inch smaller than Digital Chat Station’s claims. When folding an iPad mini 7, making use of a screen-to-body ratio similar to the iPhone 13 mini, he discovered these numbers:
- Unfolded: 135.1 x 180.2 mm ; 8.3-inch show
- Folded: 135.1 x 90.1 mm; 6-inch cowl show
In different phrases, folding the iPad mini 7 in half would give us a foldable iPhone about as large because the gadget in Digital Chat Station’s claims. It could be a foldable cellphone that’s hardly as tall as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, as it might function a wider cowl display, extra appropriate for one-hand operation.
