The iPhone Fold has leaked: These could be Apple’s foldable specs

The long-awaited and much-rumoured iPhone Fold is practically here. There are already several details we think we know about Apple’s first foldable, and now, thanks to a new report from analyst Jeff Pu (via 9to5mac), we get to know this phone in greater depth. If we go by the rumours, Apple will launch its first foldable phone in September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Apple will present us with a foldable design finished in titanium and aluminium, dual displays, and an identification system using Touch ID instead of Face ID. A move that puts the company in a very interesting position within the foldables market, and that we can now understand in more detail.

A foldable with a premium design and top-tier specs

The iPhone Fold will feature, according to Pu, a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer display, giving us a good balance between portability and screen real estate. Apple has opted for a titanium body combined with aluminium, which is key for both lightness and durability.

As for the hardware, the phone will include, according to the rumours, 12 GB of LPDDR5 memory. It will also come with the new A20 Pro chip with a 2-nanometre architecture and WMCM packaging, the same one we’ll find in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. As we’ve already been seeing in previous generations, this chip will evolve in power to improve on-device AI processing and Apple Intelligence tasks, which will form the core of the software nouveautés for 2026.

New systems for cameras and identification

There will be surprises on the photography front as well. According to the rumours, the iPhone Fold will carry a dual 48 MP rear camera system with 7- and 6-element lenses, designed to give us the sharpest images in both photos and video. On the front, we’ll have two 18 MP options: one for folded mode and another for unfolded mode.

A very interesting detail is that the iPhone Fold will do without Face ID, as far as we know. Instead, we’ll find a Touch ID system that fits the particular demands of a foldable design. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, meanwhile, will keep Face ID with a smaller Dynamic Island, which will create an interesting difference between models.

According to Jeff Pu, while the global smartphone market could see a 4% drop in 2026, Apple projects growth in its shipments to reach 250 million units. Launching a foldable significantly boosts the value of Apple’s high-end proposition. A phone that, with its titanium-and-aluminium design, its dual-display system, and Apple Intelligence capabilities, is shaping up as one of the most interesting new releases of the year within Apple’s ecosystem.
