Foldable iPhone official renders
A renowned industry insider has posted renders of the foldable iPhone. Given the track record of this particular tipster, it is highly likely that these renders are official files taken straight from Apple’s computers.
These renders also corroborate previous leaks that claimed that the foldable iPhone would look less like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and more like the Huawei Pura X.

Apple took a very long time to even consider entering the foldable smartphone market because it wanted to do things its own way. The most important aspect of foldable phones that the company was stuck on was the crease that runs along the main display.
Apple wanted to make a foldable iPhone that had absolutely no crease at all, no matter what angle you viewed it from. According to other reports, the company has been unable to achieve this, though the crease on its foldable is almost as good as gone according to some reports.
However, that wasn’t the only way that Apple wanted to differentiate itself from the competition. The foldable iPhone, when unfolded, will be wider than it is tall. Some insiders reckon that this might be because Apple wants customers to use it like an iPad when it’s open.
Samsung is also working on a new Galaxy Z Wide Fold to take on the foldable iPhone, though it will be separate from the Galaxy Z Fold 8. This new Galaxy foldable is also expected to launch later this year alongside the traditional Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the aforementioned Fold 8.
Confirmation at last?
Most leaks have agreed on what the foldable iPhone will look like, but exact dimensions have remained inconsistent across reports. If these renders are the real deal, then we finally know exactly how the foldable iPhone will look like on the outside and on the inside, complete with that punch-hole camera on the top left of the main display.
I suppose we won’t know for certain until someone manages to leak a photo of an actual prototype unit. Follow me on X and Threads to catch it when it happens.
