Apple is working on a foldable iPhone<\/a> that could rival smartphones launched by companies like Samsung, Oppo, and Huawei, according to several reports. A tipster on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging platform, has now leaked details of the inner and outer displays on Apple’s purported foldable iPhone, which could arrive as a book-style foldable with an “unprecedented” screen ratio. The company has yet to announce any plans to launch a foldable smartphone, although it has been granted patents<\/a> for technology that could be used in such devices.<\/p>\n

Apple’s Foldable iPhone Could Sport 5.49-Inch Cover Display<\/h2>\n

In a post<\/a> on Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) claims that Apple’s<\/a> book-style foldable will resemble the Oppo Find N<\/a> series, while sporting a shorter and thicker build. The user says that Apple will equip its folding phone with a 5.49-inch cover display, which also happens to be the same size as the outer screen on Oppo’s first generation Find N handset.<\/p>\n

On the inside, the foldable iPhone will sport a 7.74-inch screen, the tipster says, adding that the larger display “unfolds like [an] iPad” which should offer a larger display for viewing content. The foldable is also said to have an “unprecedented screen ratio or aspect ratio.<\/p>\n

According to Digital Chat Station, Apple’s rumoured foldable could be positioned as a device that offers smartphone and tablet functionality. If Apple were to launch such a handset, it would compete with other book-style foldables, such as Oppo’s Find N series, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, another tipster suggested that Apple’s first foldable phone could be launched as early as next year<\/a>, while a foldable iPad and MacBook could be introduced in 2027. Meanwhile, a recent report<\/a> states that Apple has secured an ultra-thin glass supplier for an upcoming foldable device.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously claimed that the company is working on an iPad-like foldable<\/a> that would not feature a visible crease. According to the reporter, this device could be introduced in 2028. Apple has yet to announce any plans to launch a foldable device, but we can expect to hear more about any rumoured devices in the coming months.<\/p>\n
