Now, it sounds like this new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-foldable-phones-922793\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foldable phone<\/a> could adopt a rather interesting camera borrowed from Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent tipster <a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/6048569942\/PncKbfhxx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Chat Station<\/a> has claimed on Weibo that Apple\u2019s upcoming foldable phone will feature an under-display selfie camera on the folding screen. Meanwhile, the cover display is said to have a camera in a cutout.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_kh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Apple iPhone foldable under display camera Digital Chat Station\"  alt=\"Apple iPhone foldable under display camera Digital Chat Station\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Apple-iPhone-foldable-under-display-camera-Digital-Chat-Station.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In other words, Apple would be copying Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold devices by adopting an under-display selfie camera for the folding display. 2021\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 3 was the first foldable with this camera and last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-6-review-3463361\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galaxy Z Fold 6<\/a> maintained this feature.<\/p>\n<p>Under-display cameras hide under the screen and are nearly invisible, making for a more immersive screen viewing experience. However, these cameras have poor image quality compared to conventional selfie cameras. This is because the display blocks a lot of light from hitting the camera sensor. So you really shouldn\u2019t expect this camera to take great photos on Apple\u2019s foldable. For what it\u2019s worth, we thought the under-display shooter on the Z Fold 6 was only good for video calls and that the cover display camera was better.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Chat Station reiterated that the foldable iPhone will have a 7.76-inch folding screen and a 5.49-inch cover display. However, they also revealed that the folding screen would have a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution while the cover display is poised to have a 2,088 x 1,422 resolution. Either way, it sounds like Apple is adopting a squat form factor like the original Pixel Fold and OPPO Find N2 rather than the tall and narrow form factor adopted by Samsung.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
