Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone has now surfaced through leaked renders and a 3D-printed mockup, offering a closer look at its possible design. A recent YouTube video analysing CAD-based renders indicates that the book-style foldable may feature a wide display layout, while standing out with a significantly reduced screen crease.
iPhone Fold Design Hint
According to a video shared by FrontPageTech (FPT) on YouTube, the leaked CAD renders point to an iPhone Fold with a large internal display paired with a smaller outer screen. The overall proportions closely resemble those of the Google Pixel Fold.
Adding to this, tipster Ice Universe has claimed that the main visual difference between the alleged iPhone Fold and the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold will be the R-angle. While Samsung’s device is said to have a squarer design, Apple’s foldable could feature more rounded corners.
The FPT video suggests that the iPhone Fold may come with a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner screen. By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold is expected to feature a 5.35-inch inner display and a 7.58-inch outer panel, making the two devices similar in size.
In terms of thickness, Apple’s foldable is tipped to measure around 9mm when folded and 4.5mm when unfolded. This puts it close to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is said to measure 8.9mm folded and 4.2mm unfolded. These dimensions would make the iPhone Fold noticeably slimmer than the Google Pixel Fold, which reportedly measures 12.1mm when folded and 5.8mm when unfolded.
Another highlight of the leaked renders is the minimal crease around the hinge area. Unlike many foldable smartphones currently available, the iPhone Fold is said to feature a flatter inner display with a much less visible crease.
Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech claims that Apple could achieve this by using a mix of a pressure-dispersing metal plate, liquid metal within the hinge, and an in-cell touch panel. This combination is reportedly aimed at reducing visible crease lines while maintaining accurate touch responsiveness.
3D-Printed iPhone Fold Mockup Surfaces
Alongside the leaked renders, a 3D-printed mockup of the iPhone Fold has also appeared online. MakerWorld user Subsy has shared files for a printable model, claiming it is based on leaked CAD drawings.
However, there is no confirmation that any authentic Apple CAD files have surfaced, making it likely that the drawings used are unofficial or speculative.
Despite this, the model aligns with earlier reports and may appeal to enthusiasts who own a 3D printer and are curious about Apple’s foldable concept. Subsy has released both single-colour and AMS versions of the model, noting that PLA material prints cleanly, while PETG could also work, though it hasn’t been tested.
The creator clarified that the folding mechanism is intentionally simple, designed only to demonstrate open and closed positions rather than replicate Apple’s actual hinge technology. One user who printed the model pointed out that it can fold beyond 180 degrees, something that would not be possible on a real foldable smartphone.
iPhone Fold – Expected Specifications
As per current rumours, the iPhone Fold could feature dual rear cameras along with dual selfie cameras. The device is also tipped to be powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chipset, reportedly built on a 2nm manufacturing process, and paired with the company’s in-house C2 modem. For biometric authentication, the foldable iPhone is expected to rely on Touch ID, which could be integrated into the power button.
Apple has yet to confirm any details. However, the growing number of leaks and concept models suggests that the iPhone Fold is steadily taking shape behind the scenes.
