CAD Leak Offers Clearest Look Yet at Apple’s Rumored iPhone Fold

Reports indicate suppliers are raising initial targets for a near‑term ramp, with Apple offering no confirmation.

Overview

  • Tipster Sonny Dickson shared 3D CAD renders that many outlets say align with prior leaks, showing a wide inner display, a smaller cover screen, and a horizontal camera plateau with two rear lenses.
  • The images depict two rounded corners and two squared‑off corners at the hinge plus punch‑hole selfie cutouts, including one in the top‑left of the unfolded display.
  • Coverage continues to cite earlier reports of a roughly 7.8‑inch inner panel and a 5.3–5.5‑inch outer display, a titanium frame, and a specialized hinge aimed at minimizing the crease.
  • A Taiwan Economic Daily–sourced report says Apple increased initial production targets by about 20% and that component production could ramp late in Q2, though none of this is confirmed by Apple.
  • Outlets still expect a fall 2026 unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 lineup and a price north of $2,000, with some inferring a side‑mounted Touch ID instead of Face ID, all subject to change until an official announcement.
