A seasoned leaker has given concrete details about how clearly the crease of the upcoming iPhone Fold will be visible. Furthermore, the source also confirmed that the product is scheduled to be launched later this year.
Apple’s first foldable phone, which will likely be called the iPhone Fold, is widely expected to arrive sometime later this year. The iPhone 18 Pro will be launched alongside it as well, although the regular version of the iPhone 18 is not expected to launch until early next year.
A slew of leaks have given us a good idea of what to expect from the foldable iPhone Fold – a 5.5-inch external display, a crease-free 7.8-inch internal display, the A18 Pro system on the chip, and a 4.5mm-thick body are among the things we’re fairly certain about.
Foldable iPhone: A barely noticeable crease, thanks to Samsung displays
The crease-free display is definitely the most interesting aspect, and will likely be marketed as one of the product’s main selling points. Apple reportedly waited a very long time for screen technology to advance enough for a wrinkle-free screen to become achievable.
A recent leak shared by Fixed Focus Digital via Weibo shed light on some interesting details regarding the aforementioned crease-free iPhone Fold display. According to him, the launch of the product has already been confirmed this year, as production orders have already been placed.
The crease, specifically, is said to be less than 0.15 mm, and the fold angle is set at around 2.5 degrees. While it’s not completely non-existent, it’s clear that frizz will barely be noticeable, even to the touch. To clarify, the thickness of a human hair ranges from 0.017 to 0.18 mm.
Fixed Focus Digital also stated that the price of the iPhone Fold is “conservative,” and the product’s strength is “good,” but did not share any exact measurements or data points. Considering that the ZFold 7 is currently priced at just under $2,000 and is currently available for $1,810 on Amazon, we can easily expect the iPhone Fold to cost at least the same.
