Apple is preparing the first foldable iPhone and more and more information is coming to light about it. According to the well-known Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, we have the first details about the screens that will be used in the new and anticipated smartphone. The device has been in preparation for over 8 years, and as the insider mentions on the Weibo platform, its external screen will be 5.49 inches, bringing it quite close to the specifications of the Oppo Find N5.

It will have a thinner and wider design, while its internal screen will reach (when open) 7.74 inches, approaching almost a small iPad. As the insider mentions, there will be significant changes in the aspect ratio of the screens of the foldable iPhone, and this is an issue that Apple is currently examining with its partners and designers.

This insider has proven to have quite good information, given that he revealed details about the iPhone 12 mini before it was announced, as well as about the sensor of the iPhone 15 and the changes in the sizes of the iPhone 16 Pro. Regarding the first foldable iPhone, he mentions that his information speaks of a release in 2026 or 2027, something that confirms what market analysts like Ming Chi-Kuo and Jeff Pu have said.

Apple will place great emphasis on the part where the internal screen folds, which until today is a point that companies in the field want to invest in and improve in their devices. The goal is for the contact point of the two screens that make up the larger one to be increasingly less visible and not to affect the use and experience of the phone's owner.

Apple has put a lot of weight on this part, and rumors say that this is the reason why it is taking so long to enter a market where there are already many competitors with very good devices. And it seems that Apple wants to innovate at this level, providing an answer to why its proposal will be unique.

Will it succeed? We shall see…
