Shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the leak highlights key specs of the current iPhone Fold prototype. The leaker confirmed what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said that Apple is still finalising the design and features, and the phone is still in the testing phase.
Still, here’s what the latest info reveals –
- Display – A 58-inch inner screen when unfolded
- Cameras – Dual 48MP rear cameras
- Hinge – Made with a composite of durable, amorphous metallic glass
- Body – Titanium for a premium and lightweight feel
Interestingly, the 7.58-inch display is slightly smaller than the 7.8-inch size Kuo previously mentioned. Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station also shared a new render that shows the iPhone Fold unfolded, and it looks a lot like a compact iPad mini.

The dual 48MP cameras match Apple’s rumoured upgrade for this year’s iPhone 17 Pro, where all rear lenses are expected to move to 48MP. The foldable could follow suit with a wide and ultra-wide combo, though Apple might choose a telephoto lens instead, no final word yet.
With the prototype still being tested, these specs could change. However, the leaked details now at least give us the clearest picture of what Apple’s first foldable might offer next year.
