Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone has finally shown up in what are probably the first good-looking renders. And they come with a bold claim that its screen crease might be nearly invisible.

Courtesy of Jon Prosser at Front Page Tech, the YouTuber published a video today, showing the iPhone Fold’s design in full. Prosser claims Apple has chosen to make a book-style foldable instead of a clamshell because of what he thinks Apple has pulled off here.

The iPhone Fold reportedly features a 5.5-inch display on the front, while the inner screen will measure 7.8 inches. The highlight, of course, is the crease. Or the lack of it. 

Prosser says Apple is using a combination of a pressure-dispersing metal plate, liquid metal in the hinge, and an in-cell touch panel to give iPhone Fold a crease-free look.

The claim lines up with an earlier report that suggests Apple is developing ultra-thin flexible glass (UFG) specifically to tackle the crease problem. If true, this could be Apple’s biggest contribution to foldable hardware yet.

Moreover, the iPhone Fold reportedly measures 9mm when folded and just 4.5mm when unfolded.

Performance, Camera, Battery, and More

The iPhone Fold is expected to run on Apple’s A20 Pro chip. It will also use Apple’s second-generation C2 modem and a high-density battery that should offer great battery life.

As for cameras, you can expect two at the back housed in an iPhone Air–like module. You’ll also get one camera on the cover display and another on the internal screen. Sadly, no under-display camera. 

Another claim that corroborates previous rumors is that the Fold will skip Face ID in favor of a fingerprint sensor. It will reside in the power button, which Prosser says Apple has moved to the top of the device.

Last but not least, Prosser claims the iPhone Fold will come in only black and white color options and at a price between $2,000 and $2,500.
