Apple is reportedly developing a foldable iPhone to compete with foldable smartphones from brands like Samsung, Oppo and Huawei.
A leak on the Chinese platform suggests that this foldable iPhone may have a book-style design with an unusual screen ratio.
Apple hasn’t officially announced a foldable iPhone, but the numerous leaks about such a device make it seem very likely that it is in development.
Earlier, there were reports suggesting that the foldable iPhone might be cancelled because Apple was unable to create a satisfactory bending screen.
In November, it was revealed that the device had moved beyond the concept stage and was now being developed as a physical product that could eventually be available for consumers.
A post translated from Chinese claims that Apple’s foldable iPhone will have a design similar to the Oppo Find N series but will be shorter and thicker.
The leak also suggests that Apple’s foldable phone will feature a 5.49-inch cover display.
The foldable iPhone will have a 7.74-inch inner screen that unfolds like an iPad, offering a larger display for better content viewing.
As per the reports, the device is also expected to feature a unique and previously unseen ratio or aspect ratio.
The source further predicts it might launch next year, though earlier speculations suggested that it might release this year.
