Apple is again a victim of Leaks. In the last few hours the first details Special features of two of the most ambitious projects of the company for the coming years: It is the first foldable iPhone and the future iPhone 18 Pro.
Pictures of designtechnical data and profound changes in the roadmap expect a phase of strong renewal for the iPhone, with a clear focus on new forms of use and a increasingly protagonist screen.
On the one hand, alleged CAD (design) images of the expected iPhone Fold were leaked, Apple’s first foldable phone. On the other hand, information from the supply chain suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro will mark a Break in the front design of the device, with Face ID under the screen and a front camera in an unconventional position.
In addition there is one Possible change in release schedule from 2026.
The leaked images of iPhone Fold They cannot be confirmed as definitive, although the source that disseminated them has a reliable background. Everything indicates that it would be so early prototypesbut they make us clearly see what Apple’s idea would be for its first foldable device.
Far from the concept of a mobile phone that simply “gets bigger”, the device aims to offer one Experience very close to that of an iPad mini when it is used.
According to this information, the iPhone Fold could be measured when closed 83.8 millimeters wide and 120.6 millimeters high. That would make it shorter than a current iPhone but wider, a format intended to make it easier to use one-handed and store in your pocket. When opened it would reach overall dimensions of 167.6 by 120.6 millimetersvery close to those of Apple’s compact tablet.
He thickness That would be another strength. Once opened, the device was almost impossible to open 4.8 millimeters thick, without counting the camera module. The set would be sufficient if closed 9.6 millimetersa value slightly higher than some foldable Samsung devices, but which would correspond to a clear priority: Avoid visible wrinkles on the screen.
According to the leak, Apple would use Laser-drilled microstructures to minimize the classic center groove that still occurs on many folding devices.
The External screen It will be 5.5 inches in size and have a format that is wider than it is tall, thus escaping the trend towards increasingly elongated phones. Inside, the panel would measure 7.76 inches with a resolution of 2,713 by 1,920 pixels. There would be no big surprises in the photographic area: the iPhone Fold would integrate one Dual rear camera similar to the iPhone 17 models.
Now it is iPhone 18 Pro It is also starting to take shape through leaks. According to supply chain data, Apple is planning Remove the current dynamic island and are moving towards an almost completely clear front design. The key would be Integration of the Face ID system under the screena technology that the company could produce in series from 2026.
The disappearance of the “pill” would not be complete. The front camera would still need a physical hole, but Apple is considering placing it in a corner of the panel. This change would free up the center of the status bar and force a Redesign of the iOS interface, because the dynamic island, as it is called today, would no longer make sense.
In photography, the iPhone 18 Pro would add one variable aperture on the main camera. This system would allow for physical regulation of light incidence, providing greater creative control with natural blurring and more flexibility in complex scenes. Suppliers such as Sunny Optical and LG Innotek would be involved in the development of these components.
Inside the equipment would contain that A20 Pro chipmanufactured using a 2-nanometer process from TSMC, which would result in higher energy efficiency and better thermal control. The leaks also mention up to 12GB RAM and a more advanced cooling system designed for a very thin chassis.
Finally, there are also reports from Asia about a change in the release schedule. A recognized one insider assured that Apple would begin production iPhone 18 in February 2026, with a possible start in spring, between March and June. The models Pro and Pro MaxInstead, they would stay reserved for Septemberwhile maintaining the traditional high-end presentation.
If these leaks are confirmed, Apple is preparing for one of the biggest changes in recent iPhone history, with new formats, a major front redesign and a completely different launch strategy.
