Apple iPhone 18 Fold Rumors 2026: 5 Biggest Leaks
Here’s a breakdown of the key information about the upcoming iPhone Fold, based on the provided text:
Camera:
Will have a dual rear camera setup, with one front-facing and one internal camera. This is expected to be less versatile then foldable phones from Samsung, Google, and Chinese manufacturers like Vivo and Oppo (specifically the Vivo X Fold 5 and Oppo Find N5).
Authentication:
May use Touch ID (fingerprint sensor) instead of Face ID.
Apple could implement this either with an in-display scanner or by embedding it in the power button (like on some iPads).
Connectivity:
Likely to lack a physical SIM card slot, similar to the iPhone 17 Air and the US version of the Google Pixel 10.
The author speculates a SIM slot might be retained for markets outside the US, mirroring the Pixel 10’s approach.
Will feature Apple’s second-generation C2 modem for improved cellular connectivity, aiming to rival Qualcomm’s performance.
Othre Features:
The iPhone 18 Pro is also expected to use the C2 modem.
