Overview
- Tom’s Guide reports a new leak from Majin Bu that shows alleged images of Apple’s foldable iPhone and cases that suggest MagSafe charging, though none of this is confirmed by Apple.
- 9News says it received factory-made dummy units based on leaked specs that point to a shorter, wider inner screen in a passport-like shape and a 2026 debut as part of Apple’s September lineup.
- The Indian Express reports Apple could start production within two months and may reveal the device in September, with iOS gaining iPad-style sidebars and a two‑app view on the wider display.
- Forbes says Apple’s expected 4:3 inner screen is pushing Android rivals toward wider designs, with Huawei’s Pura X Max announced and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide slated for release this year.
- Forbes adds that many rivals are adopting silicon‑carbon batteries, which pack more energy into the same space, and analysts expect this could give them longer runtime than Apple’s first‑generation foldable.
