Foldable iPhone's Screen Sizes Leaked

Apple's first foldable iPhone will be equipped with a 7.7-inch inner display, and a 5.3-inch outer display, according to The Information.

Earlier this year, Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the foldable iPhone would have a 7.8-inch inner display, and a 5.5-inch outer display, so the sizes shared in today's report are slightly smaller. However, specs might not be finalized yet.

The publication said the iPhone 18 Pro will have a camera in the top-left corner of the screen, and it expects the same for the foldable iPhone's inner screen.

The foldable iPhone's displays are made with a "complex" mix of "specialty glass and materials" from companies like Corning and SCHOTT, according to the report.

Apple is expected to release the foldable iPhone in September 2026.

Can I get just half?

5.3" displays sounds perfect!

That's all I need.

We didn't say we wanted a "foldable". We said "affordable".

Buzzer sound.
Heavier, not thicker.
7.7 MM thick on the Mini, 5.6 MM on the Air.
To nitpick, the iPhone Air is actually over 11 mm thick at its thickest.

The mini is 5.4".

Am I reading this right? A premium phone, with high end internals, and even smaller than the mini? Please count me in!

Now if they can get the total thickness of the folded phone to 7.7mm and the weight to 140g, we have the ideal iPhone Mini update !

Apple spent the last 10 years moving away from physical buttons on iPhones to avoid wear, now they're supposedly going toward an entire phone that opens and closes? I still don't think this will actually happen.
