<\/p>\nA new rumor today surfaced about Apple’s book-style foldable iPhone, set to be released next year, and this time it’s about the cameras. <\/p>\n

In a previous report, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said he expects the foldable iPhone (or “iPhone Fold” for short) to include a dual-lens rear camera<\/a>, but Kuo provided no other specifics. Now, prolific Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station<\/a> claims that those dual lenses will be 48 megapixels each.<\/p>\n This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The current iPhone 16 Pro models feature a 48-megapixel Main camera and a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera, and it would make sense for Apple to ensure the premium foldable’s rear lenses are at least equivalent to its Pro models to justify that rumored ~$2,000 price tag<\/a>. <\/p>\n Digital Chat Station did not provide additional lens specifications, but if Apple wants to maintain some feature parity with its high-end iPhone models, the foldable will have a 24mm main camera with a \u0192\/1.78 aperture and second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. <\/p>\n The foldable’s main camera will also likely be capable of iPhone 16 “Fusion” \u2013 so-called because the system combines the high-resolution sensor with smart in-sensor cropping to deliver multiple high-quality focal lengths \u2013 like 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm \u2013 from a single main camera. Don’t expect a telephoto lens though, likely due to space constraints.<\/p>\n According to Kuo, the foldable will also have a front-facing camera for both folded and unfolded states. Other sources have claimed that the inner display features an under-screen selfie camera<\/a>, while the outer display \u2013 in the device’s folded state \u2013 will have a hole punch-style front-facing camera<\/a>. <\/p>\n Aside from cameras, here are some other foldable iPhone features we’ve heard from sources plugged into Apple’s supply chain:<\/p>\n Another point of note regarding today’s rumor: Digital Chat Station claims that the latest inner display Apple is testing is approximately 7.6 inches rather than 7.8 inches, albeit with the same resolution. <\/p>\n That seems unlikely. Analyst Jeff Pu said in March that the device had entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase<\/a> at Foxconn, and adjusting the display size during or after the NPI phase is virtually unheard of \u2013 especially for a company like Apple working with Foxconn. Kuo, who previously corroborated<\/a> the 7.8-inch display dimension, also said the device is expected to enter production in September-October this year<\/a>, which is awfully close to start introducing changes.<\/p>\n An exact launch date is currently unknown, but both Kuo<\/a> and Pu<\/a> say mass production is planned for the second half of 2026. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has also said he expects the device to be launched next year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new rumor today surfaced about Apple’s book-style foldable iPhone, set to be released next year, and this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215902,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[85766,1123,85767,547,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-215901","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-digital-chat-station","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-foldable-iphone","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114749756187978112","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
