iPhone Fold Renders Show Apple’s First Crease-Free Foldable Display

Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone has appeared in what may be the first convincing renders yet, and they come with a bold claim: a nearly crease-free foldable display.

Shared by Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech, the renders suggest Apple is opting for a book-style foldable design, reportedly because it has found a way to minimize the visible crease that has plagued foldable phones so far.

The iPhone Fold is said to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a larger 7.8-inch inner screen. According to Prosser, Apple is using a combination of a pressure-dispersing metal plate, liquid metal within the hinge, and an in-cell touch panel to achieve a smoother folding surface.

This aligns with earlier reports that Apple has been developing ultra-thin flexible glass specifically to address the crease issue, which could make this one of Apple’s biggest contributions to foldable hardware.

In terms of design, the device is reportedly around 9mm thick when folded and just 4.5mm when unfolded, giving it a slimmer profile than many existing foldables. Performance is expected to be driven by Apple’s A20 Pro chip, paired with a second-generation C2 modem and a high-density battery designed to deliver strong battery life despite the form factor.

Camera hardware is said to include two rear cameras housed in an iPhone Air–style camera bar, along with one camera on the cover display and another on the internal screen. There is no under-display camera, at least for this first-generation model. Another notable change is the absence of Face ID, with Apple reportedly opting for a fingerprint sensor built into the power button, which has been moved to the top of the device.

Prosser also claims the iPhone Fold will launch in black and white color options only, with pricing expected to fall between $2,000 and $2,500. If accurate, these renders suggest Apple’s foldable iPhone will focus on refining the core experience rather than chasing novelty, with a crease-free display shaping up to be its biggest selling point.
