After months of leaks and speculation, a new concept render by fpt offers a first look at Apple’s highly anticipated foldable iPhone.

The concept video showcases the device from multiple angles and appears to corroborate several long-rumoured specs. These include a 5.5-inch cover display, a 7.8-inch main foldable display, a Touch ID power button, a C2 modem, and four cameras (two on the rear, one on the cover display, and one on the main display). When folded and unfolded, the thickness of the device is stated to measure 9.9mm and 4.5mm, respectively.

For context, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 measures 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded. It features a larger 6.5-inch Cover Screen and a larger 8-inch main foldable display.

Fpt also discussed one of the biggest pain points of current foldable phones: the display crease. He believes Apple may have achieved a nearly invisible crease through “the use of a metal plate that disperses the pressure of bending the display” and liquid metal in the hinge. These two features are reportedly the key differentiators of the foldable iPhone.

The foldable iPhone is tipped to launch in black and white, and will carry a premium price tag ranging from US$2,000 (~S$2,567) to US$2,500 (~S$3,209). Fpt also suggests that Apple could market the device as the iPhone Ultra - a name Bloomberg reported two years ago may be reserved for a future higher-end iPhone model.
