Images and video claiming to show circuitry from Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone are circulating on X and Chinese social media platforms.
For example, on X, the user “LusiRoy7” posted a short video alongside an image, as well as a labeled composite image identifying components, purportedly depicting the motherboard of Apple’s foldable iPhone. The image appears to show the CPU, a hinge connector, a flex cable connector, and more.
Separately, on the Chinese forum Baidu, a diagram from the repair parts vendor MIJING depicts the same components. The MIJING diagram uses Chinese repair-industry component numbering. The range of images appear to show the same parts.
While the authenticity of the images is unknown, they are likely another sign that the launch of the first foldable iPhone is nearing. The device is widely expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models next month.
Rumors point to a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch inner display, the A20 Pro chip, and a 5,000mAh battery, as well as a 48-megapixel dual rear camera system and 18-megapixel selfie cameras on both the outer and inner displays. The device is expected to debut with a price of at least $2,000.
