Apple Foldable iPhone to Feature 5.49-inch External Screen, 7.74-inch Internal Screen [Rumor]

New details about Apple's rumored foldable iPhone have purportedly been leaked on Weibo. Digital Chat Station, a leaker with a decent track record, claims to have exact specifications for the internal and external displays.

Here's the full post:

Exclusive information: Apple's big foldable. The 5.49-inch external screen somewhat resembles the Find N, but it's shorter and bulkier. The 7.74-inch internal screen, when unfolded, looks like an iPad. The ratio between the internal and external screens is truly unprecedented; an Apple-branded foldable phone + foldable tablet. Based on the current sample progress, it is expected to be launched either next year or the year after [back to school season].


The details paint an intriguing picture. A 5.49-inch external screen, shorter and bulkier than the Oppo Find N it's compared to, suggests a sturdier feel—perhaps a trade-off for durability. Then there's the 7.74-inch internal display, unfolding to an iPad-like expanse. According to Digital Chat Station, the "truly unprecedented" screen ratio indicates that Apple is going for a hybrid "foldable phone + foldable tablet" design.

Timing remains a question mark, though the leaker points to a back-to-school launch—either 2026 or 2027—tied to the state of current prototypes. Apple hasn't breathed a word about it, which is no shock given their habit of keeping things close until the reveal.

Notably, this report follows an extensive supply chain research summary by zwz that claims to share specific details about the hinge, display, midframe, pcb, battery, and more. Check out that full report here:
