Leaked Dummy Photos and iOS 27 Code Point to Apple’s Foldable iPhone

Leaked mockups plus iOS 27 beta strings point to Apple preparing a foldable iPhone.

Overview

  • New photos posted by tipster Sonny Dickson on June 7 show a book‑style dummy unit with a roughly 7.8‑inch inner display, a about 5.5‑inch cover screen, a horizontal dual rear camera module, and a white finish that leakers say may be the initial color option.
  • Developers who inspected the iOS 27 developer beta on June 8 found explicit framework strings such as "foldState," "angleDegrees," and a display‑count key, and Apple’s WWDC guidance pushed app resizability for a wider range of sizes and aspect ratios.
  • Multiple leaks report Apple may forgo Face ID on the foldable in favor of side‑button Touch ID and that other hardware choices like a titanium frame, dual 48MP cameras, and large battery figures are circulating but remain unconfirmed.
  • Separate supply‑chain reports and leakers say trial production has flagged hinge reliability and a visible crease that Apple is trying to reduce, which could lead to limited first‑run shipments, fewer SKUs, and a premium price above $2,000.
  • Dummy units are non‑functional mockups and iOS code hints are not an official product announcement, so Apple has not confirmed any details and the next major clue will likely come at the company’s expected September launch event.
