It has already been widely reported that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone and now a new report suggests it is going to be quite compact. According to a new report, the iPhone Fold expected to launch next year could bring back that small-screen experience in a whole new form. Here’s what we know so far.

Foldable iPhone – Compact Display

While the iPhone Fold is still in the rumour stage, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared some interesting details. The device will reportedly feature a 5.5-inch outer display, which is just a hair larger than the 5.4-inch screen on the iPhone mini.

If true, this would make the foldable iPhone the smallest modern iPhone screen, considering all current models start at 6.1 inches or more.

But that’s not all.

Once you unfold it, the iPhone Fold is expected to reveal a 7.8-inch inner display, similar in size to the iPad mini. This combination of compact portability and a larger screen could make it appealing to both small phone fans and power users who want more screen real estate.

Kuo revealed that the foldable iPhone will “adopt a left-right folding design (book style), equipped with an approximately 7.8-inch inner screen (without crease) and an approximately 5.5-inch outer screen. The thickness is about 9-9.5mm when folded, and about 4.5-4.8mm when unfolded.”

Foldale iPhone – Expected Price

The iPhone Fold is expected to start at $2,000, which translates to roughly Rs 1,66,000. That’s significantly more than the iPhone mini and even pricier than the iPhone Pro Max. Compared to other foldables on the market, this one sits firmly in the premium category.

As of now, the details remain limited. We will have to wait and see what surprises Apple has in store when it finally makes this device official.
