Foldable phones pose a unique challenge in terms of thickness compared to regular smartphones. While they may be thin when unfolded, their thickness when folded remains a concern. The upcoming foldable iPhone from Apple is no exception, raising questions about its dimensions.
Unveiling the Thickness of the Foldable iPhone
A recent post on Naver by yeux1122 provides insight into the foldable iPhone’s thickness. According to the tipster, when folded, the device measures approximately 9.23mm, slightly thinner than previous estimates of 9.6mm. In comparison to other foldable phones, however, the foldable iPhone may not be the slimmest option available.
For instance, the OPPO Find N6 boasts a thickness of 8.9mm when folded, while Honor’s Magic V6 falls within the range of 8.8mm to 9mm in its folded state. Even the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, released last year, measures 8.9mm in thickness when folded.
It’s worth noting that these measurements pertain solely to the body thickness. The inclusion of a camera bump increases the overall thickness to around 13mm. While this doesn’t classify the foldable iPhone as overly bulky, it may not cater to those seeking a particularly slim device.
Anticipating the Arrival of the iPhone Ultra
If you’re eager to get your hands on the foldable iPhone, patience may be required. Rumors suggest that Apple will unveil the iPhone Ultra (the rumored name) in September, alongside the introduction of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models.
However, the actual availability of the foldable iPhone could be delayed. Reports indicate that Apple is facing production challenges, potentially postponing sales until later, possibly around December. With an anticipated price tag of around $2,000, the foldable iPhone won’t come cheap.
Despite these details, the full picture of what to expect remains to be seen. As September approaches, more information may surface, offering a clearer view of Apple’s latest innovation.
