Apple is slowly putting together the final pieces of the puzzle for its long-awaited foldable iPhone. While a fairly clear idea of ​​the design itself is starting to emerge, details surrounding the displays still raise questions. But new leaks seem to take the story a step further.

Speculation suggests that the external display could come without Dynamic Islandu. Instead Apple chooses a decent cutout only for the front camera. Unlocking will then not be handled via Face ID, as we are used to with Apple phones, but through Touch ID located in the side button – similar to what we know from the iPad Air.

iPhone, which decomposes into iPad mini

About that Apple sononec bets on the concept of "Fold" and not "Flip" (i.e. a book design instead of the classic "clamshell"), has been talked about for some time. From internal information, it looks like it will be a standard-sized device that will turn into a smaller tablet when unfolded - about the size of an iPad miniThe second long-discussed point was the issue of biometric security. Apple He is said to have actually tested the hidden Face ID under the display, but technical limits apparently forced the company to resort to a proven solution – Touch ID.

Side sensor location Face ID

Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously stated that Face ID simply does not fit in the first generation of the puzzle due to design limitations. The module is simply too bulky, so Apple It relies on a compact capacitive sensor in the power button, the same concept we know from iPads.

That would mean that iPhone Fold will offer a cleaner front-end design without the need to implement Dynamic Island. Instead, we will see a simple cutout – the so-called punch-hole – for the selfie camera. This information is now confirmed by a new report from the blog yeux1122, which regularly recaps leaks from the Chinese platform Weibo. If everything is confirmed, we will see the first ever foldable phone from the workshop in the coming years Applu, which will stand on the combination miniMalistic design, pragmatic security and a classic Apple approach – nothing unnecessary extra, but everything perfected.
