Description:
The iPhone Fold could have an under-display camera but no Face ID, and its screens might be smaller than we'd previously heard.

FULL STORY ======================================================================The foldable iPhone is again rumored to have an under-display camera We're also hearing that it won't have Face ID Its screens could also be smaller than previously rumored

While the world learned to live with the iPhones notch, and matters improved when Apple switched to a Dynamic Island, ultimately, wed wager that most people would prefer a smaller cut-out in the screen. Well, with the iPhone Fold also known as the foldable iPhone we might finally get that, and in fact, there might be no camera cut-out at all in one of the displays.

This is according to leaker yeux1122 , posting on South Korean site Naver
(via GSMArena ). According to them, Apples current foldable iPhone prototype has a punch-hole camera on the cover screen and an under-display camera for the foldable screen.

Being under the display means it shouldnt cause a visible interruption to the screen, and its something weve already seen on some phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 , but never on an iPhone.

This isnt the first time weve heard talk of the foldable iPhone having an under-display camera , but hearing it again increases the likelihood that it will happen, and that could bode well for other iPhones too, as it might mean the days of a massive screen cut-out are numbered.

That said, Face ID apparently wont be under the display. In fact, according
to this source, Face ID wont be present at all, with the foldable iPhone instead said to have a Touch ID sensor on the side. This, too, is something weve heard before.

Beyond that, yeux1122 claims that the screen size on this prototype is slightly smaller than on the previous prototype. They dont specify what size it is here, but a fairly recent leak pointed to a 7.74-inch foldable display and a 5.49-inch cover screen .

Apparently, though, the resolutions havent changed, despite a decrease in size, and yeux1122 adds that the foldable screens aspect ratio for this prototype is 14.6:1, while the cover screens is 14.1:1.

Of course, even if these details are correct, its possible that things will change again in future prototypes, as with Apple not expected to launch the foldable iPhone until late 2026 at the earliest, the company quite possibly hasnt yet finalized the design.
