These renders are admittedly AI-generated, but they give us a decent idea of how both the foldables would be shaped:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Ice Universe sharing renders of iPhone Fold and Samsung Wide Fold\"  alt=\"Ice Universe sharing renders of iPhone Fold and Samsung Wide Fold\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ice-Universe-sharing-renders-of-iPhone-Fold-and-Samsung-Wide-Fold.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ice Universe is reiterating previously leaked specifications, though there\u2019s some variance from the latest leaked iPhone Fold schematics. The Samsung Wide Fold is expected to feature a 5.4-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch internal display, whereas the iPhone Fold is anticipated to have a 5.35-inch cover display and a 7.58-inch internal display. The internal display on both foldables is expected to be a 4:3 aspect ratio.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"AI generated render of Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold (1)\"  alt=\"AI generated render of Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AI-generated-render-of-Samsung-Galaxy-Wide-Fold-1-scaled.jpg\"\/>Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold renders<img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"AI generated render of Apple iPhone Fold (1)\"  alt=\"AI generated render of Apple iPhone Fold (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AI-generated-render-of-Apple-iPhone-Fold-1-scaled.jpg\"\/>Apple iPhone Fold renders<img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"AI generated render of Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold (2)\"  alt=\"AI generated render of Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AI-generated-render-of-Samsung-Galaxy-Wide-Fold-2-scaled.jpg\"\/>Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold renders<img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"AI generated render of Apple iPhone Fold (2)\"  alt=\"AI generated render of Apple iPhone Fold (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AI-generated-render-of-Apple-iPhone-Fold-2-scaled.jpg\"\/>Apple iPhone Fold renders<\/p>\n<p>The leaker notes that the design of the phones is almost identical, with the primary difference being their R-angle. Samsung seems to be opting for sharper, almost squared-off corners, while Apple appears to be leaning towards softer, rounder corners. Apple\u2019s approach may be easier to hold as the corners won\u2019t dig into your palm, but Samsung\u2019s approach looks more uniform when folded, as the hinge-side corners are practically guaranteed to be sharp and square.<\/p>\n<p>Since these are AI-generated renders, they merely represent the shape and overall dimensions of the foldables, and aren\u2019t meant to represent the final retail look of either foldable.<\/p>\n<p>Leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Am0jSTDd58E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FrontPageTech<\/a> has shared several renders of the iPhone Fold, but they appear to be based on the leaked schematics from earlier in the week, so they feature different measurements than those used by Ice Universe.<\/p>\n<p>FrontPageTech mentions that the iPhone Fold is expected to be available in only Black and White color options, and the internal display will not have its crease visible.<\/p>\n<p>However, leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MaxJmb\/status\/2003760248876581175\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Max Jambor<\/a> mentions that the iPhone Fold does have a visible crease, it\u2019s just that it is less visible than current foldables.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Max Jambor on iPhone Fold crease\"  alt=\"Max Jambor on iPhone Fold crease\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Max-Jambor-on-iPhone-Fold-crease.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung is expected to launch the Wide Fold in the fall of 2026, around the same time as Apple\u2019s foldable iPhone, which is also rumored to debut alongside the regular iPhone 18 lineup. It remains to be seen how consumers react to these wide foldables \u2014 will they be able to convince users to ditch their regular phones, or will they be destined for a redesign like the wide-cover-display first-gen Google Pixel Fold, or will they underwhelm in sales, as the iPhone Air and the Galaxy S25 Edge did? 2026 couldn\u2019t come sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
