Reports talk say e fit offer around 15% faster performance and up to 30% better power efficiency. The chip go also use new packaging design wey dem dey call TSMC‘s Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module technology.

For color, dem dey talk about dark grey or black variant and light silver or white variant. The phone no go get Face ID. Instead, e go rely on Touch ID system wey dem fit integrate inside the power button. E no go get TrueDepth camera system at all.

The iPhone Fold go run on the same A20 Pro chipset as the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. E fit feature up to 12GB of RAM to run iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence tasks. The battery fit be between 5,400 and 5,800mAh, wey go be the biggest battery for iPhone so far.

For camera setup, dem dey talk about quad-camera setup. The rear camera setup fit include dual 48MP setup with wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens. For front, e fit be 24MP sensor with punch-hole camera on the outer display.

But this foldable phone no go come cheap at all. Price dey between $2,000 and $2,500. Even if dem unveil am for September alongside iPhone 18 Pro series, actual delivery fit start for December according to latest leaks.

Meanwhile, for the iPhone Air 2, confusion still dey ground.
