As anticipation builds for a potential foldable iPhone, one rumor suggests it may have another feature that has yet to appear in another Apple phone: a camera embedded under the screen for Face ID.
The latest rumor from leaker Digital Chat Station and reported by 9to5Mac offers possible dimensions for the anticipated iPhone Fold and indications that it could have under-screen camera technology.
The leaker suggested a 7.76-inch inner screen with a 2,713×1,920-pixel resolution and a 5.49-inch outer screen with a 2,088×1,422-pixel resolution.
Previous rumors have estimated a potential 2026 or 2027 release for an iPhone that folds like a book. The dimensions in this leak align with those in this previous rumor, with an expected price tag between $2,000 and $2,500.
Rumors have been split on which format of foldable Apple is releasing or even releasing first. This report suggests a book-style foldable is coming akin to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, while older ones suggested Apple was working on a clamshell foldable like the Motorola Razr.

Apple remains the only major smartphone maker not offering a folding phone. Challenges with the hinge and the display screen have reportedly held up the development.
Apple has also reportedly been working on a giant folding iPad. That product is rumored to open to the size of two iPad Pros and could be eyed for a 2028 debut.
If Apple does move forward with a folding iPhone, CNET’s Andrew Lanxon has some suggestions, namely that the software needs to take advantage of the folding ability and that the company should offer high-end models alongside more affordable options. “A foldable iPhone needs to be more than just a regular iPhone with a screen that can bend,” Lanxon wrote last month.
