Freshly leaked details about Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone have surfaced from Weibo user Digital Chat Station, focusing on its screen dimensions. The Chinese leaker claims the device features a 5.49-inch outer display, similar to the Oppo Find N5 but with a shorter, wider design. Inside, it unfolds to a 7.74-inch screen, akin to an iPad. Both screens reportedly boast an “unprecedented aspect ratio.” According to the leaker, Apple’s foldable phone is slated for release next year or the year after, with a foldable iPad expected to debut around the same time.

The account has previously posted accurate information about the iPhone 12 mini’s display, iPhone 15’s upgraded sensor, and iPhone 16 Pro size increases. Digital Chat Station’s launch timing for the device is also not too far off from other rumors we’ve heard. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Jeff Pu, The Information, and The Wall Street Journal have all suggested Apple is targeting a foldable iPhone launch in late 2026 or early 2027.
