New dummy unit photos shared by leaker Sonny Dickson on X offer the clearest look yet at Apple’s first foldable iPhone, expected to launch later this year alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. The images confirm several design details that have been circulating in the rumor mill for months, and one that is more surprising.
What the dummy unit reveals
The iPhone Fold dummy shows a book-style foldable with a roughly 7.8-inch inner display when open, putting its screen real estate close to an iPad mini. The front camera sits in the top-left corner of that inner screen. The outer display measures around 5.5 inches, and the closed phone takes on a short and wide form factor, closer to a passport than a standard iPhone.
Two rear cameras are visible on the outside of the device. Face ID is notably absent, which aligns with rumors suggesting that the device will use Touch ID through the side button for both unlocking and Apple Pay.
Only one color?
The more eyebrow-raising detail from Dickson is the color situation. Although earlier leaks have claimed the Fold would come in black and white, Dickson now suggests white may be the only option at launch. Apple has launched new product lines in limited colorways before, gradually expanding the palette with later generations, so this isn’t completely out of the question.
iOS 27, expected to be unveiled shortly at WWDC 2026, could reveal more about how Apple is building the software experience around the foldable form factor. Foldable-specific features like split-screen multitasking and an iPad-style UI have been reported as part of the update, and the keynote may include additional cues about the device itself.
