Foldable iPhone screen size, design leak
DCS has claimed that Apple’s foldable iPhone will feature a 5.49-inch external display and a 7.74-inch inner screen, which indicates that it will be more compact than rival products running on Android. The outer display is reportedly reminiscent of the original Oppo Find N, albeit with a shorter and wider aspect ratio. Once unfolded, the device transforms into an iPad, featuring a distinct screen ratio, unlike any other foldable phone. With this design, Apple is set to revolutionize the foldable phone segment.
The iPhone 17 Pro, expected in September 2025, will introduce a rectangular camera module, which Apple’s foldable iPhone may also incorporate. There’s a possibility that the rear design of the foldable iPhone could be similar to the iPhone 17 Pro.
