Leak about the foldable iPhone suggests notable engineering and a design reminiscent of the iPhone X.

      Apple's anticipated foldable iPhone may break away from traditional hardware norms, rearranging buttons and cameras to optimize battery life and display area in what could be its most daring redesign to date.

      Recent leaks indicate that Apple's much-speculated foldable iPhone is becoming increasingly tangible, potentially featuring a striking overhaul of its physical buttons, camera setup, and internal configuration.

      On a standard iPhone, the volume buttons are positioned on the left side while the power button with Touch ID is located on the right. However, with the iPhone Fold, the volume buttons may shift to the top right, resembling the layout found on the iPad mini.

      Users familiar with the iPad may find this new button arrangement less challenging; however, those transitioning from a regular iPhone will need to adapt to the altered placement. The power button may also be situated on the right side, alongside the camera control button.

      Further, it appears that the iPhone Fold will adopt a button placement similar to that of Android devices. According to the Chinese leaker Digital Station (via Weibo), this change is intended to create more room for the screen, hinge mechanism, and battery.

      By not including buttons on the left frame, Apple can avoid the need to run wires across the screen's width to connect them to the motherboard on the right.

      The freed-up space may facilitate “an extreme, yet reasonable and elegant internal stacking structure,” allowing for the largest battery ever in an iPhone.

      The foldable display is expected to feature a single punch-hole camera. On the rear, the iPhone Fold will likely include a two-camera system arranged horizontally, with a blackened base that contrasts with the rumored white body.

      This blackened camera module seems reminiscent of the iPhone X. It also appears that Apple has finalized the design of the iPhone Fold and may begin mass production in the coming months, ahead of a projected launch in September 2026.

      Samsung is gearing up to introduce a new Ultra smartwatch and a formidable competitor to the iPad Pro.

      A new Plus tablet tier, refreshed Galaxy Watches, and another rugged Ultra indicate Samsung's intent to compete with Apple across devices, wearables, and ecosystems in 2026.

      While Samsung prepares to reveal the Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy Buds 4 at the end of February, attention has turned to other upcoming products, such as Galaxy tablets and watches.

      According to a recent Smartprix report (citing GSMA IMEI listings), Samsung is developing two new tablets in the Galaxy S series: the Galaxy Tab S12 Plus 5G (SM-X846B) and the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra 5G (SM-X946B). Details about the standard Tab S12 are not yet available.

      If Apple eliminates the 128GB option again, the iPhone 18 Pro could become pricey quickly.

      Apple seems poised to implement a familiar kind of price increase, disguised as a shift in entry-level storage options, which could raise the initial cost to acquire the desired model.

      Previously, Apple discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro with 128GB of storage. Customers wanting that Pro model had to start at 256GB, resulting in a $100 increase in upfront cost.

      Recent leaks regarding the foldable iPhone indicate it will come with a battery that holds up under pressure.

      For years, the idea of a foldable iPhone resembled a mythical creature—widely discussed but rarely substantiated. While brands like Samsung and Google have continuously refined their foldable offerings, Apple has remained on the sidelines, seemingly awaiting the right moment. If recent reports from the supply chain are accurate, that moment may be approaching, and Apple plans not just to join the market but to dominate it with an unprecedented battery capacity.

      A recent leak from the tipster known as "Fixed Focus Digital" suggests that Apple's first foldable—tentatively named the "iPhone Fold"—is set to boast an impressive battery capacity of over 5,500 mAh. To put this in context, this capacity surpasses that of the robust iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is rated at 5,088 mAh, and outshines leading competitors like the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.
