iPhone Fold set to shock market with hidden under-screen camera and premium fold design

Tech News:  Apple is preparing its first foldable iPhone, and people are excited to know what it will look like. The new phone may be called iPhone Fold according to reports. This phone is expected to have a unique design with a flexible screen that folds inwards. The strongest highlight is the under-display front camera that stays hidden when not in use. This means the front screen will look completely clean and without any notch or punch hole. Apple wants to give users a smooth full-screen viewing experience. The company has been working on this technology for many years to make it perfect.

Hidden camera under the display

Leaks suggest the foldable iPhone may have a 24MP front camera placed under the inner display. This camera will use a 6-element plastic lens system for better image clarity. It may offer clearer selfies than many premium phones in the market. Apple is focusing on stylish design rather than extra hardware on the front. The camera will only become visible when users open the camera app. It will stay invisible when the screen is off or being used normally. This will give the phone a modern and futuristic look.

Quad-camera setup on the rear

The phone is also expected to come with a powerful quad-camera setup on the back. Reports suggest that it may include two 48MP main sensors for high-quality photos. Another camera may be placed on the outer display for quick selfies. The phone may not have LiDAR and optical stabilization in the front camera. But the picture quality is expected to remain very strong due to advanced Apple software processing. Apple knows that camera quality is a big reason people buy iPhones. So the company is balancing design and performance carefully.

Advanced design but with changes

There are chances that this iPhone might skip Face ID as the main unlock method. Instead, it may use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor for secure authentication. Apple may have taken this step to avoid cutting the display for sensors. The hinge of the phone is also a big focus area for Apple. The company is improving the hinge so that it does not break or loosen easily. Durability is very important in foldable phones. Apple wants users to feel confident using it every day.

Possible launch timeline expected

Apple has not officially confirmed the launch date yet. Some analysts believe that the iPhone Fold may launch by the end of 2026. However, there are also reports that the launch may shift to 2027. The company is still testing the durability and folding mechanism. Apple never rushes its products to market until it is fully sure. The phone needs to survive thousands of folds without damage. This could be the reason for the delay.

Expected price of the device

According to some reports, the iPhone Fold may cost around 1999 US dollars. This means the price in India could be around 1,77,000 rupees. This makes it one of the most expensive iPhones ever made. The phone is being targeted at premium and luxury users. Foldable technology is still not cheap anywhere in the world. Apple wants to compete with brands like Samsung and Huawei in the foldable segment. People who love new technology may be ready to pay the price.

Why this phone matters globally

The iPhone Fold is not just another smartphone. It represents the future direction of mobile design. Foldable phones may become common in the coming years. Apple stepping into this market means the competition will increase. Other brands may try to improve their foldable phones quickly. Users will benefit from more features and better technology. The phone could change how we use screens every day.
