The first details of the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Fold, Apple’s next big bet, are leaked

images of designtechnical data and profound changes in the roadmap anticipate a period of strong renewal for the iPhone, with a clear focus on new forms of use and a increasingly protagonist screen.

On the one hand, alleged CAD (design) images of the expected iPhone Fold were leaked, Apple’s first foldable phone. On the other hand, information from the supply chain suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro will mark a break in the front design of the device, with Face ID under the screen and a front camera located in an unconventional position.

Added to this is a possible change in release schedule from 2026.

The leaked images of iPhone Fold They cannot be confirmed as definitive, although the source that disseminated them has a reliable background. Everything indicates that it would be early prototypesbut they allow us to see quite clearly what Apple’s idea would be for its first foldable.

Far from the concept of a cell phone that simply “gets bigger,” the device would aim to offer a experience very close to that of an iPad mini when deployed.

According to this information, closed the iPhone Fold would measure 83.8 millimeters wide by 120.6 millimeters high. This would make it shorter than a current iPhone, but wider, a format designed to facilitate one-handed use and storage in your pocket. Opened, it would reach total dimensions of 167.6 by 120.6 millimetersvery close to those of Apple’s compact tablet.

He thickness It would be another of the strong points. Opened, the device would barely 4.8 millimeters thick, without counting the camera module. Closed, the set would reach 9.6mma figure somewhat higher than that of some Samsung foldables, but which would respond to a clear priority: avoid visible crease on screen.

According to the leak, Apple would be using laser drilled microstructures to minimize the classic central groove that still affects many folding devices.

The external screen It would have 5.5 inches and a format that is wider than it is tall, moving away from the trend towards increasingly elongated phones. Inside, the panel would reach 7.76 inches, with a resolution of 2,713 by 1,920 pixels. In the photographic section there would be no big surprises: the iPhone Fold would incorporate a dual rear camera similar to that of the iPhone 17 models.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Pro It is also beginning to take shape through leaks. According to supply chain data, Apple plans remove the current Dynamic Island and move towards an almost completely clean front design. The key would be Face ID system integration under the screena technology that the company would be ready to mass produce from 2026.

The disappearance of the “pill” would not be total. The front camera would still need a physical hole, but Apple is considering placing it in a corner of the panel. This change would free up the center of the status bar and force a redesign of the iOS interface, since the Dynamic Island, as it is known today, would cease to make sense.

In photography, the iPhone 18 Pro would add a variable aperture on the main camera. This system would allow the light entry to be physically regulated, offering greater creative control, with natural blurs and more flexibility in complex scenes. Suppliers such as Sunny Optical and LG Innotek would be involved in the development of these components.

Inside, the equipment would incorporate the chip A20 Promanufactured with a 2 nanometer process by TSMC, which would translate into greater energy efficiency and better thermal control. The leaks also mention up to 12 GB of RAM and a more advanced cooling system, designed for a very thin chassis.

Finally, reports from Asia also come about a change in the release schedule. A recognized insider assured that Apple would start production of the iPhone 18 in February 2026, with a possible launch in spring, between March and June. The models Pro and Pro MaxInstead, they would remain reserved for septembermaintaining the traditional high-end presentation.

If these leaks are confirmed, Apple is preparing for one of the biggest changes in the recent history of the iPhone, with new formats, a profound redesign of the front and a completely different launch strategy.
