Apple's iPhone Fold will use cutting-edge camera technology

Morgan Stanley has just revealed the iPhone series from now until 2027, and Apple's first iPhone Fold model will likely be equipped with a selfie camera hidden under the screen (UDC), marking a major transition in the way Apple handles the front camera.

Notably, Morgan Stanley's draft specifications show that Apple has "noted" at least one 24-megapixel selfie camera placed under the screen on the iPhone Fold model, and notably no longer Face ID.

This is information that has created a lot of controversy as Face ID has become a feature of the iPhone for many years.

Under-screen camera: A step forward to optimize the full-screen experience

Morgan Stanley says the iPhone Fold will have a 24MP selfie lens hidden right below the screen. The switch to an under-display camera means Apple could eliminate the notch or Dynamic Island altogether – creating a full-screen experience.

In addition to the hidden front camera, the iPhone Fold will use a dual rear camera system, including a 48MP sensor for the ultra-wide-angle lens.

However, this model will not have a variable aperture, no telephoto lens, no ToF depth sensor, and especially no integrated Face ID - a move that shows Apple may switch to new recognition technology or focus on optimizing the experience of using a folding screen.

According to current information, the iPhone Fold will use a folding mechanism like a book - similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold, but Apple focuses on thinness.

When folded, the device is expected to be less than 10mm thick, thinner than most current foldable screen smartphones.

The unfolded display size of the foldable iPhone is 7.8 inches, while the outer display is 5.5 inches.

This combination allows users to easily operate on the external screen when closed, and turns the iPhone Fold into an iPad mini-like device when opened.

Hardware power: New modem, A20 chip and 12GB RAM

Apple's first foldable iPhone is said to use Apple's own C2 modem, reducing its dependence on Qualcomm.

In terms of performance, the device will be equipped with the A20 processor, a chip generation expected to launch in 2026, manufactured on a 2nm process, with a performance increase of about 15%, saving 30% power compared to the A19 (3nm).

Other leaked specs include: 12GB RAM; up to 1TB storage; up to 5,500mAh battery; expected price from $2,000.

If this price is maintained, the iPhone Fold will be in the super high-end segment, competing directly with the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra line and high-end folding phone models from China.

LOFIC technology on iPhone 20: A leap forward in photography capabilities

Along with the information about the iPhone Fold, a reliable source on the Naver blog – account “Yeux1122” – revealed that the iPhone 20 series expected to be launched in 2027 will apply LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integrated Capacitor) camera technology.
