Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone will have a hole-pan camera on the outer display, claims a Chinese leikar in Apple’s supply chain.
Vibo-based account Digital chat stationThe inner display on the book-style foldable is a 14.1: 1 panel with an under-screen camera, while the outer screen is 14.6: 1 panel with a hole-pancha camera.
Leiker claims that these specifications belong to a new engineering prototype from Apple, which is “slightly smaller than a previous unit that we handled, with the same resolution and aspect ratio,” according to a machine translation. Leikar said that a touch ID sensor is included on the edge of the device.
The digital chat station has made accurate claims in the past. For example, in 2023, he revealed that the iphone 15 and Oniphone 15 Plus will have a slightly smaller 48-megapixel sensor than the iphone 15 Pro and the OPHONE 15O Pro Max, as well as the performance panel design of the iphone 12 in 2020.
Leikar’s latest claim confirms the previous rumor of the Korean news aggregator Yeux1122, who said in April that Apple had opted for a hole-pun-front-facing camera on external performance. The NAVER blog account claimed that the design is similar to the current foldables on the market, such as Google’s Pixel 9 Pro fold.
It is not clear that the hole-pan-pan will appear during active use or attach to a small dynamic island, but the face ID is not expected to be part of the equation.
It is expected to be launched next year, Apple’s book-style foldable has a 7.8-inch crease-free internal display and a 5.5-inch exterior screen feature. According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the device will include a dual-lens rear camera, as well as ensuring broad camera functionality in any configuration, both turned folded and used cameras will be included in the unfolded states.
Kuo has also said that Apple has Unified touch ID in side buttonTo conserve the inner space for other components.
Kuo says that the final hardware specifications will be closed during the second quarter of this year (1 April – 30 June), some elements are still subject to change. However, analyst Jeff Pu claims that the device has already entered the new product introduction (NPI) phase in FoxConn – a significant phase in the product development cycle of Apple – indicating that the major glasses can be finally finalized.
With the expected release at the end of next year, Mass Production is allegedly prescribed for the fourth quarter of 2026. The first generation foldable iPhone is expected to carry a price tag between $ 2,000 and $ 2,300.
