Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone has surfaced again through new design files that give a closer look at how the device might take shape. The leaked 3D CAD renders show a device with a folding display and a unique frame design that differs from current iPhone models. Reports suggest the company continues to test new hardware ideas as it prepares a future product that some analysts already describe as an iPhone Ultra category device.
The design shown in the renders includes a large camera plateau on the back panel. The layout resembles the iPhone Air camera design, although this version appears to include two cameras instead of one. The edges of the phone also show an unusual structure where two corners look rounded while the other two appear squared to support the hinge mechanism used in the foldable iPhone.
Sonny Dickson shared the images online while discussing the rumored device.
The CAD images also show how the phone appears when fully opened. A small dot in the upper left corner suggests the location of the front-facing camera on the internal display. Additional views show the outer frame and the external display when the device sits in its closed form.
Leaks like these usually appear months before Apple introduces a new iPhone design. These files also match recent rumors that describe Apple testing a foldable device with a dual camera system and a hinge based frame.
