The long-awaited foldable iPhone is edging closer to reality, and new leaks are shedding light on what to expect from Apple's first foray into foldable tech.

A new report suggests that Apple’s upcoming device—informally dubbed the iPhone Fold—will ditch Face ID and Dynamic Island, opting instead for a punch-hole camera on the outer display and Touch ID integrated into the side-mounted power button.

For years, Apple fans have speculated whether the company would go the "Flip" or "Fold" route seen in Android foldables. It's now becoming clear that Apple is leaning toward the Fold design—a standard iPhone that unfolds into a mini tablet, roughly the size of an iPad mini.

One major question was whether Apple would find a way to embed Face ID under the display or reintroduce Touch ID. According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the first-generation iPhone Fold won’t include Face ID due to space limitations in the device’s ultra-thin display. Instead, Apple will incorporate a capacitive Touch ID sensor in the power button, similar to the design seen on the iPad Air.

The report also confirms Apple will likely skip the Dynamic Island on the outer screen, in favour of a minimalist punch-hole camera, a design now common across Android foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Leaked display specifications point to a 7.76-inch internal screen with a 2713 x 1920 resolution and a 5.49-inch external screen with a 2088 x 1422 resolution.

While Apple has yet to officially announce the iPhone Fold, the growing number of credible leaks suggests the device is well on its way—and it could be a game-changer in the foldable market.
