Supply chain leak tips folding iPhone to be among thinnest foldable phones, specs include 12.2-inch display and dual-camera setup

[Redaktion]

A claimed supply chain leak touts new specs for the Apple's foldable iPhone. Supposedly, it will feature a stripped-back camera setup, an aluminium internal frame, and a 12-inch Samsung internal display. The folding iPhone will also allegedly be one of the thinnest foldable smartphones around when it launches in late 2025 or early 2026.

12.2" screen? There is no way that this folding iphone will have a screen even close to that size.

Putting two 6" screens side by side does not yield a 12" screen. You would have to double the height and width for a 6" screen to become a 12". If anything, it'll be smaller than an 8" screen when unfolded.

Yeah, you've got a point. It didn't occur to me to check the calculations on that one, but double checking, it seems like it'll be close to 7.7 inches diagonally if Apple sticks to the current 19.5:9 aspect ratio. I'll add a note to the article. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah sorry, this thing sounds more like a foldable iPad Mini than an iPhone.
