Apple's first foldable iPhone is in the news even before its launch. According to reports, this device can bring a compact design that folds like a passport. Apart from this, it is also claimed that this phone can be very thin. The recently revealed dummy units of the foldable iPhone Ultra looked quite thin. It is being told that when opened, their thickness was only 4.5 mm. The special thing is that its display will be different and wider than the existing foldable phones. This can improve the experience of watching and reading videos. It is believed that this device can be launched with the iPhone 18 series this year. According to leaks, features like 7.8 inch display, A20 Pro chip can be found in it.
Apple's upcoming iPhone Fold is most talked about for its design. According to reports, this phone can be folded like a passport and become compact, which makes it different from other foldable smartphones. Its design is said to be inspired to some extent by the old BlackBerry Passport, which had a square screen. This type of design is considered more convenient for reading and viewing content. However, it will not be the traditional long and thin design, which may give a different experience to the users in the beginning.
iPhone Fold is expected to have a wide display with 4:3 aspect ratio, which will be quite different from the existing foldable phones. Most of the current foldable phones are long and thin, due to which black bars are visible while watching videos. This new design of Apple can reduce this problem and will make better use of the screen. Watching videos and reading can be more comfortable due to the wide display. This is the reason why it is being considered a big change in the design of foldable phones.
According to reports, an iPad-like interface can be seen in the iPhone Fold. In this, new layouts and sidebar designs can be given for the apps, which will improve the user experience. However, this device will run only on iOS and not on iPadOS. It can provide the facility to run two apps simultaneously for multitasking, which is already present in foldable phones of Samsung and Google. This change will be especially useful for those users who like to work on a big screen.
The possible price of iPhone Fold can be around 2000 dollars i.e. quite a premium, due to which it will not be easy for every user. However, Apple's entry can give a big boost to the foldable market. Companies like Samsung, Huawei and Google are also now working on wide screen foldable design. According to reports, this phone can be launched with the iPhone 18 Pro series. Although being the first generation, it may have some shortcomings like battery or display crease, but still it can set a new trend in the industry.
