Earlier this month Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station said the rumored foldable iPhone will integrate an under-screen camera into its folding display, but the module is unlikely to include TrueDepth components that make up Face ID.
However, a new rumor says an “iPhone Fold” could have Face ID, after all. According to news aggregator yeux1122 — as noted by BGR — Face ID could still be included. However, if Apple decides to add Face ID, it won’t be available on the external display, as the device will only feature a punch-hole front-facing camera. “Yeux1122” says that Apple could integrate Face ID into the internal display of the smartphone.
The “iPhone Fold” is expected to arrive next year. Here’s a round-up of the current rumors about the foldable smartphone:
° The inner display will be approximately 7.76 inches with a resolution of will use a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution and feature “under-screen camera technology.”
° The outer display will purportedly be 5.49 inches with 2,088 x 1,422 resolution and will have a punch-hole camera.
° Touch ID returns as a side button.
° The rear camera features a dual-lens setup, with one front-facing camera available in both folded and unfolded states.
° It will measure 9–9.5mm thick when folded and 4.5–4.8mm when unfolded.
° The hinge will combine stainless steel and titanium alloy, while the casing opts for titanium alloy.
° It will use the same high-density battery cells as the ultra-thin iPhone 17.
