Leaked CAD Models Point to Apple’s First Foldable iPhone Design

Fresh files from leaker Sonny Dickson offer the clearest look yet at Apple’s rumored foldable handset.

Overview

  • The alleged 3D CAD images show the device folded and unfolded with a wide horizontal rear camera bar housing two lenses and a flash, plus a punch‑hole selfie camera on the inner screen.
  • Renders depict two rounded corners and two squared corners at the hinge, flat edges, and a notably slim profile consistent with earlier design chatter.
  • Industry reports cited in the coverage point to an inner display around 7.8 inches and a cover screen just under 5.3 inches, which remain unconfirmed by Apple.
  • Separate supply‑chain reporting claims panel orders for crease‑minimizing displays, suggesting early production activity toward a possible 2026 launch window.
  • Outlets relay rumors of top‑tier positioning with iPhone 18 Pro‑class internals, including an A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, a titanium and liquid‑metal hinge, and a side‑mounted Touch ID, all not yet verified.
