Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone may still be a couple of years away, but leaks about the device continue to surface.
According to Digital Chat Station, a well-known leakster, the foldable iPhone will feature a 5.49-inch cover display and a 7.74-inch inner screen when unfolded.
Foldable iPhone Display Details
The cover display is said to be shorter and narrower than the Oppo Find N, which also has a 5.49-inch external screen but with an 18:9 aspect ratio.
If Apple opts for a 16:9 ratio, it would be an interesting design choice, as most modern phones have moved beyond this format.
The inner screen of the foldable iPhone is expected to measure 7.74 inches, making it larger than the Oppo Find N’s 7.1-inch panel.
It is said to “unfold like an iPad”, which could suggest a wider, more tablet-like experience rather than the almost square displays seen on many foldable phones today.
Could This Replace the iPad Mini?
For comparison, the iPad mini has an 8.3-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, making it slightly larger than the rumored foldable iPhone.
While this device may not be the much-talked-about “foldable iPad”, it could be positioned as an alternative to the iPad mini for users who want a more compact, foldable tablet experience.
Apple’s Foldable Plans: What’s Next?
Apple has long been rumored to be working on multiple foldable devices, including a large foldable iPad and a flip-style foldable iPhone.
While reports suggest that the foldable iPhone may launch in 2026, there is still conflicting information about Apple’s timeline. Some leaks claim that the foldable iPad could come in 2026 or as late as 2028.
For now, details about the foldable iPhone’s specs, launch date, and features remain unclear. However, with Apple finally exploring foldable tech, the next few years could bring some exciting developments.
