Leaked dummy units show the iPhone Fold features a 7.8-inch foldable OLED screen, 12GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and a 5,000–5,500 mAh battery, with Touch ID integrated into the power button.
The device adopts a passport-style form factor, is just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, and uses a titanium-aluminum frame with a liquid metal hinge, but lacks both MagSafe and Face ID.
