YouTuber Jon Prosser has shared new renders and spec details of what he claims is the unreleased iPhone Fold.
The video was published on Prosser’s channel, FPT, last week, and like other leaks, it says Apple’s foldable will debut in fall 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. The Fold will have a book-style form factor, with a 5.5-inch cover screen, and a 7.8-inch iPad-like main display. The device is about 9mm thick when folded and around 4.5mm when unfolded, he adds.

Apple reportedly tested multiple designs, including a Samsung Z Flip-style clamshell, before settling on a book-style approach. It finalized the design after achieving a crease-free main display “by using a metal plate that disperses the pressure of bending the display,” and a liquid metal in the hinge, he says. Similar reports have emerged from China and Korea this year.

When it comes to cameras, Prosser’s renders once again align with earlier claims of four, including two at the back, one on the cover display, and the other on the main iPad-like display. He claims these cameras won’t support Face ID, and Apple will revive Touch ID for authentication. Like on the newer iPads, the fingerprint sensor would be built into the power button placed on top of the main display, he adds.

According to Prosser, the Fold will use high-density battery cells and come with decent battery life. The device will use Apple’s own unreleased C2 modem for connectivity, he adds.

Prosser also shared information about possible colors and pricing. He expects the iPhone Fold to come in just two shades, white and black, and the pricing to be in the range of $2,000 to $2,500.
The YouTuber’s latest leak comes as he faces a lawsuit from Apple for allegedly sharing renders of iOS 26’s Liquid Glass design. According to the complaint, Prosser worked with Michael Ramacciotti, a product analyst and video editor who was friends with (now former) Apple employee Ethan Lipnik. During a visit to Lipnik’s apartment, Ramacciotti figured out the passcode on Lipnik’s development iPhone. When Lipnik left the house, Ramacciotti broke into the phone, called Prosser on FaceTime, and let him see what was on the phone, Apple says. That information was later included in a video posted to Prosser’s YouTube channel.
