Apple plans to introduce the iPhone Fold in September 2026, generating significant interest regarding its features. Recent reports indicate that the device will incorporate a 5.5-inch outer display, utilizing a hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera, replacing the traditional notch seen in current iPhones. Notably, the camera will function without Face ID, relying on Touch ID integrated into the side button.
Additionally, the 7.8-inch inner display was initially rumored to include under-screen camera technology, but this idea has been scrapped due to concerns over image quality. Instead, it will also feature a hole-punch cutout similar to that of the outer display. The device's software will adapt to a layout resembling iPadOS when opened, allowing for multitasking capabilities with two apps displayed side-by-side.
While early indications suggested that Apple had resolved the crease issue common in foldable screens, recent insights from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg suggest that the new display technology will reduce but not completely eliminate the crease. As anticipation builds, users are advised to manage their expectations regarding this feature.
