The A20 chip and a crease-free display will make it a high-end smartphone. The estimated price is ₹1.75 lakh.
Foldable iPhone: Apple is planning to launch its first foldable iPhone next year. According to reports, this phone will open like a book and will feature a Touch ID sensor instead of Face ID. The phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 48MP main camera, and a total of four cameras. The display will be crease-free, with a 5.5-inch external screen and a 7.8-inch inner screen. The A20 chip and a second-generation C2 modem will make the phone faster and more energy-efficient. The estimated price in India is ₹1.75 lakh.
Display and Design
Leaks suggest that Apple's foldable iPhone will come with a 5.5-inch external screen and a 7.8-inch inner screen. When folded, the phone's thickness will be 9-9.5mm, while when unfolded, it will become as thin as 4.5-4.8mm. It is expected to feature a crease-free display, eliminating the concern of fold marks or wrinkles on the screen.
The camera setup will be a quad-camera system, with a 48MP primary sensor on the rear and potential for an ultra-wide or telephoto lens. The front camera on both screens will be 24MP. This will provide an excellent experience for selfies and video calls on both screens.
Performance and Connectivity
It is speculated that Apple's foldable iPhone will be equipped with the A20 chip, built on a 2nm process. This will be faster and more energy-efficient compared to current chips. The hardware might include a second-generation C2 modem chip, which will enhance network connectivity.
The phone will exclusively support eSIM, with no physical SIM card slot. Consequently, users will need to be prepared for changes in connectivity settings. Based on price estimates, it could start at approximately ₹1.75 lakh in India. However, there has been no official confirmation from Apple yet.
