May 6 Update: Apple's Foldable iPhone Rumors Heat Up
The past few days have brought a flurry of Apple leaks, including long-standing rumors about a foldable iPhone reportedly set to launch in 2026.
Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman recently shared that Apple’s foldable iPhone will have two key advantages over competitors.
1. Nearly Invisible Crease
When unfolded, the foldable iPhone’s screen will show almost no visible crease. This suggests Apple’s rumored 7.8- to 8-inch inner display will feature a more seamless design.
Gurman stated: *“Apple aims to stand out by minimizing the crease when the device is unfolded.”*
2. Premium Hinge Design
The foldable iPhone will also feature a higher-quality hinge. While Gurman didn’t elaborate, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously revealed that the hinge will be made from a titanium and stainless-steel hybrid material.
Additional Leaks from Ming-Chi Kuo
- Display: 7.8-inch inner screen, 5.5-inch outer screen
- Cameras: Dual rear cameras + single front-facing camera
- Biometrics: Touch ID power button (no Face ID)
- Battery: High-density battery for longer life
- Dimensions:
- Unfolded: 0.18 inches (4.5 mm) thick
- Folded: 0.35–0.37 inches (9–9.5 mm)
With these upgrades, Apple’s foldable iPhone could be a game-changer—if the rumors hold true. Stay tuned for more updates!
