We have just seen the specifications of the folding iPhone for the first time.

      **iOS Beta News**

      The concept of a foldable iPhone has been discussed online for quite some time, but there is now more evidence suggesting that the device might actually be in development. Well-known leaker Jukanlosreve shared a post containing extensive new insights, including the estimated dimensions, launch timeline, and additional details.

      The most striking detail noted is the thickness of the device. When folded, it measures 9.2mm, and when unfolded, it is 4.6mm thick, making it marginally thicker than the Honor Magic V3, the slimmest foldable available today. Another remarkable feature is the large 12-inch screen, reportedly equivalent to two 6.1-inch phones combined, as mentioned in the post on X.

      The foldable iPhone is anticipated to debut in 2026, potentially reaching sales of up to 10 million units in its first year, with another 20 million expected in 2027. While specific camera details are not yet revealed, the front camera is expected to include Meta Lens technology, and further research and development is being conducted by Foxconn and LG. The rear camera setup is said to comprise a primary and an ultra-wide lens.

      An intriguing aspect is the potential inclusion of a 5,000mAh battery, which surpasses even the iPhone 16 Pro Max's battery capacity. However, this might not necessarily lead to improved battery life, as the demands of a full 12-inch display could be significantly higher.

      The post also includes estimated prices for various components but cautions that many of these are predicted to rise soon. The ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China have left many component costs unstable, meaning the foldable iPhone is likely to be priced considerably higher than non-folding models.

      Although there remain many uncertainties regarding this device, this is the most comprehensive information available to date, offering a glimpse into Apple's current development efforts. We'll need to wait for official announcements for more detailed information.

      **The next iPhone may have this design feature after all**

      Apple is expected to soon announce the iPhone SE 4 (or whatever name it will be assigned), which will feature a larger display and enhanced chipset compared to its predecessor. However, there are still uncertainties regarding some aspects.

      Recent speculations about the new budget phone have ranged from it having Dynamic Island, similar to the iPhone 16 series, to retaining the traditional notch seen on the current iPhone SE. Display expert Ross Young recently shared his insights on this matter, stating in a post on X that the iPhone SE 4 will indeed come with a notch “similar to the iPhone 14.”

      **The OnePlus 13 has already set an impossible standard for Android phones in 2025**

      As the first month of the year progresses, it is evident that smartphones in 2025 will be launched in a highly competitive environment. In previous years, some phone manufacturers would wait until February or March to introduce their flagship models for the first half of the year, but the early release of the Snapdragon 8 Elite last year has prompted all companies to expedite their launches.

      Honor released the Magic 7 Pro two weeks ago, followed by Samsung's Galaxy S25 series the following week. Before these, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 13, which I believe is setting an impressive benchmark for smartphones in 2025 in numerous aspects.

      **There’s a secret way to free up 7GB of storage in your iPhone**

      If you often find yourself short on space on your iOS device, you can potentially reclaim up to 7GB of storage by disabling Apple Intelligence. The recent updates, iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3, activated Intelligence by default, but it's not mandatory — if you would prefer extra storage space or don’t wish to use it, you can disable it.

      On average, Apple Intelligence consumes around 7GB of storage space across all platforms. This notable storage requirement is due to Apple running the Intelligence features directly on devices to enhance security, which, in turn, consumes more memory. According to MacRumors, this 7GB requirement applies to each device
