He also published an image of an iPhone Fold smartphone mockup, created based on leaked drawings. Previously, he stated that with the release of the iPhone Fold, the market would switch to a new form factor for foldable smartphones, and the design that Samsung has been promoting for several years would begin to lose popularity.
According to available information, the iPhone Fold will feature a 5.5-inch display on the front panel, while the inner screen will measure 7.8 inches diagonally. The main feature is the absence of a visible crease. Insiders report that Apple is using a combination of a pressure-dissipating metal plate, liquid metal in the hinge, and a touch panel to give the iPhone Fold a seamless appearance without folds. The thickness of the iPhone Fold will be 9 mm when folded and just 4.5 mm when unfolded. The iPhone Fold is expected to run on the Apple A20 Pro SoC. It will use Apple’s second-generation C2 modem and a high-capacity battery.
Previously, images of mockups of new foldable smartphones from Apple and Samsung appeared on the network, and the resemblance between them turned out to be unexpectedly strong. At CES 2026, Samsung introduced a foldable display without a visible crease.
Ice Universe was the first to accurately talk about the new trend towards waterfall screen smartphones, the notch in the iPhone X, the new design of the iPhone 14, and the 200-megapixel Samsung image sensor. Exclusive information about the new products is leaked to him by sources in the research and development department of the South Korean giant.
Anticipated Features and Industry Impact
Samsung continues to be a strong competitor with its own innovations in the foldable smartphone category. The company’s foldable displays have been gaining attention due to their durability and technological advancement. However, Apple’s expected seamless fold design might redefine user expectations by emphasizing aesthetic perfection and utility.
Apple’s commitment to seamless design translates into functionality, with advanced materials that mitigate common issues seen in existing foldable phones, like visible creases and durability concerns. As consumers eagerly await the iPhone Fold, this competition might push innovation boundaries further, benefiting users worldwide.
