Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says ‘Screw It,’ Here’s the Foldin a position iPhone Early

There are a number of folks that Apple would like to delete from the face of the planet.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who’s constantly divulging Apple’s plans, is one. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who’s all the time sharing info based mostly on his provide chain checks, is excessive up on the record, too. But YouTuber Jon Prosser is public enemy primary that Apple is attempting to actually silence. And for good motive: the person who Apple sued in July for leaking iOS 26 and Liquid Glass retains spoiling Apple’s unreleased merchandise with high-quality 3D renders in his movies—just like the foldable iPhone that’s not anticipated to be introduced till subsequent 12 months.

On Christmas Eve, Prosser gave the world an early reward: a video revealing what he claims is Apple’s foldable iPhone in all of its book-style glory. Watch for your self:

In his video, Prosser confidently states the foldable iPhone, which is rumored to launch subsequent fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, could have a 5.5-inch exterior show with a hole-punch digicam. The inside foldable display screen will measure 7.8 inches with a hole-punch digicam within the higher left nook. His renders present twin cameras sitting on an rectangular digicam plateau very like the one on the iPhone Air; an LED flash sits on the other aspect.

Prosser says the foldable iPhone can be 9mm thick when closed, which implies every half will possible be 4.5mm. That’d over an entire millimeter thinner than the 5.6mm iPhone Air, which is already barely thicker than a USB-C port and feels impossibly skinny within the hand.

The dimensions do align with the rumored footprint from a number of earlier experiences. However, it conflicts with a latest leak that claimed the foldable iPhone would have an exterior display screen that’s about 5.25 inches, which might be smaller than the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini.

Prosser’s 3D renders do seem to depict a foldable iPhone that’s wider than it’s tall when folded and open. Side-by-side with a first-gen Pixel Fold, minus the thicker bezels on Google’s foldable, the foldable iPhone would possibly look comparable, right down to the situation of the hole-punch cameras. Other experiences have urged the foldable iPhone would have an “invisible” under-panel digicam (UDC) within the folding show.

The massive query can be whether or not or not Apple could make the crease much less seen. Several earlier experiences mentioned that Apple had figured it out, however the latest leak suggests that might not be the case after all.

Ultimately, a foldable iPhone will undoubtedly get a lot of buzz if Apple does launch it subsequent 12 months. But the true indicator of its success can be whether or not shoppers purchase it. The iPhone Air is a state-of-the-art cellphone with spectacular miniaturization that could possibly be a glimpse of what’s to come back in a future pair of Apple sensible glasses, and but it’s reportedly been a industrial failure. It’s been such a gross sales flop that there is probably not an iPhone Air 2 subsequent 12 months. More shoppers have bought the iPhone 17 and 17 Pros than the super-skinny iPhone Air that has fewer cameras and fewer battery life.

Will shoppers see the worth of a foldable iPhone, particularly if it comes with an exorbitant price ticket that would begin at over $2,000? I’d say by no means guess in opposition to the iPhone, however then once more, the iPhone mini, iPhone Plus, and now the iPhone Air reportedly didn’t promote sufficient.
