Fresh specs: Cameras, Touch ID, and battery surprises<\/p>\n
The same post sheds light on other specs. The front camera may adopt a punch-hole design, unlike the familiar Dynamic Island, and Apple seems to be skipping Face ID in favour of Touch ID. On the back, the dual-camera setup could be arranged horizontally instead of vertically, breaking Apple\u2019s usual design tradition. Leaks hint at a white chassis with a contrasting black camera module and promise the largest battery Apple has ever packed into an iPhone, a feature that will surely appeal to heavy users.<\/p>\n
The foldable iPhone is rumoured to include:<\/p>\n
Dual rear cameras: 48MP main + 48MP ultra-wide<\/p>\n
Front punch-hole camera for selfies<\/p>\n
Under-display camera inside the fold, possibly 24MP<\/p>\n
Touch ID instead of Face ID<\/p>\n
Large inner display (~7.8 inches) and smaller cover screen (~5.5 inches)<\/p>\n
A20 chip built on TSMC\u2019s 2nm process for 15% faster performance and 30% better efficiency<\/p>\n
New in-house C2 modem for improved connectivity<\/p>\n
Durability first: Apple testing new display films<\/p>\n
The foldable\u2019s screen could be where Apple sets itself apart. MacRumors cites The Elec, reporting that Apple is experimenting with two protective films: PET, the standard plastic used in most foldables, and clear polyimide (CPI), a tougher alternative that could resist scratches and scuffs better than current models. CPI is more expensive but may help Apple address a major gripe users have with foldables: fragile screens.<\/p>\n
South Korea\u2019s Kolon Industry is reportedly the frontrunner to supply CPI film, while China-based Lens Technology could provide the ultra-thin glass and manage bonding between layers. The goal? A crease-free, durable display that feels premium in daily use.<\/p>\n
Camera innovations could surprise<\/p>\n
Apple may pack four cameras across the foldable device: two on the back, one under-display, and one on the outer screen. The inner display\u2019s under-display camera could be 24MP, surpassing current Android foldables. The rear cameras are rumoured to include a 48MP main and 48MP ultra-wide lens, with no telephoto lens in sight.<\/p>\n
What we know about the launch<\/p>\n
If these leaks hold, Apple could launch the foldable iPhone in the latter half of 2026, possibly alongside the iPhone 18 lineup in September. While we still have months to wait, the leaks suggest Apple is taking no shortcuts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresh specs: Cameras, Touch ID, and battery surprises The same post sheds light on other specs.
