Revolutionary screen, camera details and filtered price

Rumors and leaks Around the expected folding iPhone with a high resolution screen, they have gained force in recent months. Various sources of the technological industry agree that Apple finalizes the details of a terminal that will mark a before and after in its catalog, seeking to compete with you with the main telephony manufacturers with a flexible screen. Although Apple has not made official declarations, the information from analysts, filters and specialized media allow you to draw a fairly complete image on the characteristics, the screen, the camera system, the biometric and the price that this new device could have.

Although the project was surrounded by secrets, The folding iPhone appears more and more force in swimming pools To be presented at a given time in 2026. Innovations in the design of the folding panel, commitment to new camera technologies and the choice of biometric authentication methods have concentrated a good part of speculation. In addition, the data filtered on its price and market positioning place the device in the highest segment of mobile telephony.

A large, high -format, high resolution screen without wrinkles

One of the sections that arouse the most interest is, without a doubt, the Book folding screen. According to the most consolidated leaks, the folding iPhone incorporates a Internal 7.76-butt screen with a resolution of 2,713 x 1,920 pixeles And aspect report 4: 3. This square format seeks to make the terminal a real hybrid between the phone and the compact tablet, approaching the experience of an iPad Mini, an idea that Apple considered time.

What distinguishes the internal panel is Apple efforts to eliminate the central fold which generally appears in other folding models. The company would have ordered Samsung to display the development of new generation OLED panels, capable of deploying and closing without leaving the conventional visible wrinkle in the hinge area. It is pointed out that only Samsung would have reached the degree of finish required by Apple, leaving aside (at least for the moment) to other suppliers such as LG Display.

As of External screenData is talking about a panel of 5.49 inches with a resolution of 2,088 x 1,422 pixeles. This screen will allow you to use the phone quickly without opening it and, if rumors are filled, it will include a perforated front camera for selfis and fast video calls. The approach seeks to obtain a thin device without sacrificing functionality or quality of visualization.

Room under the screen: aesthetic revolution and technical challenges

One key aspect will be the Camera is integrated under the internal panel. The idea of ​​hiding the camera below the surface of the screen responds to Apple's desire to offer an experience completely free from visual interruptions when the displayed terminal is used, leaving solutions such as Notch or the dynamic island present in current models.

This technology is not exempt from difficulties. THE Bedroom placement under the screen It generally reduces the quality of the images compared to traditional cameras, although Apple bets on a sensor which makes it possible to obtain acceptable results and, at the same time, would maintain a completely clean forehead.

However, leaks agree that Integration of facial identification under the screen will not be possible In this first generation, due to the technical requirements of Trédepph facial recognition sensors. This led the brand to seek alternatives for biometric unlocking, because the reliability of the ID front would be compromised in this context.

Goodbye (temporary) on the Face ID: Return of the ID key to the side

Given the impossibility of adapting to Face ID full under the screen And given the strict space limitations in the ultra-launched chassis of the future folding iPhone, Apple seems willing to recover the Press the ID finger sensor, placed on the side button. This solution, already present in the iPad Air and other brand devices, offers speed and precision in unlocking, while releasing a frontal space to prioritize design and slimming.

The decision to do without the identification of the face also implies that It will not be necessary to use “the dynamic island” On the external screen to shelter the sensors, allowing an even more refined aesthetic. The authentication of imprints on the side emerges as a reliable and known solution, while the future could bring advances which allow the total integration of facial recognition after the panel.

Hinge, design and materials: Apple seeks to minimize the thickness

Another important front in the design of the folding iPhone will be the Central vision. The information suggests that Apple will use a structure of Liquid metal which will help reduce general thickness and improve the sustainability of the mechanism. At the aesthetic level, the objective is to reach a terminal which, even folding, is not voluminous and maintains the line of elegance characteristic of the brand.

He “Book type” format It will be chosen, in accordance with the trend that other competition devices follow. The light material works, the optimization of the internal space (sacrificing, for the moment, technologies such as Face ID) and the integration of two screens will clearly differentiate this iPhone from the rest of the range.

Camera system: filtered and comparative information

Concerning rear camerasInformation is still rare. Predominant rumors speak of a Double module On the back, although the data on the main sensors or their photographic capacities were not yet completed. Yes, it seems clear that Apple will seek to offer photographic performance according to the Premium range, trying not to give terrain to Android folding which stands out more and more in this area.

The perforated room of the external screen It will allow selfis and video calls without opening the terminal. In the case of the trainee, the challenge will be to balance visual discretion and image quality, which Apple hopes to achieve with its advanced image processing algorithms.

Production, calendar and competition on the market

According to the usual sources of industry, the Mass production of the folding iPhone It will start in the second half of 2026, after closing the specification and testing process. The manufacturing will be carried out in Foxconn, the usual Apple partner, and the launch is expected, in all likelihood, by the end of 2026 or, in the event of unforeseen adjustments or events, during the first quarter of 2027.

This pause development cycle corresponds to Apple's strategy so as not to rush and launch a product only when it is up to its quality and functionality standards.

Price: a device for the ultra premium segment

He The estimated price for the folding iPhone will be around $ 2,300According to the line marked by folding models raised from other brands such as Samsung and Huawei. This positioning makes the device an option for users looking for the latest technological innovations and does not consider the price as an obstacle. It provides that the folding iPhone will share many technologies with the future iPhone 17 Air, especially in aspects such as battery, processor and screen.

Apple’s strategy seems clearly aimed at launching a product for a very concrete niche, the one who prioritizes innovation and cost design, making it one of the most exclusive versions of recent years.
