Overview
- Assembly lines have received Apple’s panel orders for the device, according to Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital, though none of the information is officially confirmed.
- The inner display is said to measure 7.8 inches, paired with a 5.5‑inch cover screen in a book‑style design rather than a clamshell.
- Reports describe a new Samsung‑developed panel that has been characterized as virtually crease‑free, a claim that remains unverified.
- Industry summaries attribute Apple’s crease targets to engineering that aims to make the fold line less visible to the eye and touch.
- Rumors point to mass production starting in July and a potential unveiling alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September.
