Next year’s iPhone Fold will introduce an entirely new form factor to the iPhone lineup. One of its design features, though, will reportedly follow the pattern of new 18 Pro models launching at the same time.
Several iPhone 18 models rumored to get hole-punch design
Last month, leaks about the iPhone Fold suggested the device would use a hole-punch camera cutout on its external display.
That same detail has now been corroborated by another source.
Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station posted an update today on the new foldable.
Per Apple Translate, the post says iPhone Fold’s outer display uses “hole screen technology.”
This is not altogether surprising, since other rumors indicate several iPhone models will use such a design.
Both the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will reportedly lose the Dynamic Island cutout in favor of a smaller hole punch in the top-left corner.
Such a change is enabled by Face ID’s sensors being moved under the display.
The biggest question, then, is where iPhone Fold’s cutout will reside. Will it be centered on the display, or moved to the top-left corner like the 18 Pro?
My bet is on the latter, for the sake of consistency across the lineup.
This would leave the iPhone 18 Air as the only new model next fall that retains the existing larger Dynamic Island cutout.
