Apple might slap a $2,399 price tag on the iPhone Fold, but the prototype is apparently ditching Face ID to keep things skinny. Some leaker on Weibo says the foldable will pack a 7.58-inch inner screen and a 5.25-inch outside display, with authentication handled by a side-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of the usual facial recognition setup.
The device could rock a vapor chamber for cooling, which already made it thick enough that Apple had to skip the TrueDepth camera gear. One analyst mentioned the whole thing will basically feel like two iPhone Air models slapped together. The camera setup includes one sensor hidden under the screen, another in a punch-hole cutout, and a 48-megapixel dual-camera system on the back.
Apple is reportedly using liquid metal and some tough glass composite material for the hinge because making a crease-free folding phone is hard as hell. Samsung might be cooking up a foldable with similar dimensions, but nothing concrete has dropped yet.
