Apple has been eyeing this market for a long time with the rise of the foldable smartphone market. We have been receiving leaks for a while now that the company is working on foldable iPhone and iPad. In this sense, the screen size for the first foldable iPhone has leaked.
The first foldable iPhone may have a compact structure with its screen size
Apple has been experimenting with devices such as foldable iPhone and iPad for a long time. The company, which has important patents in this regard, has started to take concrete steps for the foldable iPhone. It was previously revealed that Apple had agreed with Chinese Lens Technology on a foldable screen.
Now, the Digital Web Station Weibo account, which we know for its important leaks in the technology sector, has shared the peer size of the first foldable iPhone. Accordingly, the foldable iPhone model will have a size of 5.49 inches when closed and 7.74 inches when open.
In this sense, the first foldable iPhone model may come across a compact and small size like the Oppo Find N2 model. We say it may because it is among the information that Apple is experimenting with more than one screen size.
According to the foldable iPhone screen size that has emerged, we will see a model that opens and closes horizontally, like a book, as previously predicted. It is obvious that Apple has not yet started production for the foldable iPhone. However, it is noteworthy that it has already started creating the supply chain.
Although it is not clear at this stage when the first foldable iPhone will be released, it seems that more clues will emerge in the coming days. If Apple establishes this supply chain and starts producing the first prototypes, the iPhone 17 family may come up with another surprise. However, estimates point to 2026 for the first foldable iPhone and iPad models. Although the foldable iPhone screen size is known, there has been no leak for a while for the giant-screen iPad. It is also unclear in this sense whether Apple will still take action for an iPad with a giant screen that can also be used like a MacBook.
