iPhone Fold Design Leaks Reveal Wide Book-Style Shape as Apple Said to Drop Flip Plan
This week’s leaked CAD files gave the first real look at Apple’s foldable iPhone, showing off a wide, book-like design with dual rear cameras. A separate report Tuesday indicated Apple dropped its previous flip-phone project. Both leaks combine to sketch out the most detailed picture so far of what’s being called the iPhone Fold. Apple’s schedule is key here: Reuters reported in January that the company plans to spotlight the device during a premium-only iPhone launch in the back half of 2026, delaying the standard iPhone 18. Forrester analyst Dipanjan Chatterjee complained last September that Apple’s redesigns have mostly been “tepid incremental changes,” which may be why even rumor-mill foldable renders are getting noticed.
