Apple may drop a key feature from the iPhone Fold to bring back something everyone loves
The iPhone Fold may feature an under-display selfie camera and drop Face ID
Apple may drop Face ID from theiPhone Foldaccording to aleaked spec sheet analysisfrom J.P. Morgan. According to the information, the foldable device will feature a 24MP under-display selfie camera and no Face ID. The listing claims that the device will have a dual selfie camera, but there will likely be one camera on each of the two displays of the device.Removing Face ID could mean that Apple will give thefoldable iPhone a Touch ID sensor. We’veheard similar rumors before, claiming that there could be either a fingerprint sensor on the side button or under the display. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that the latter option is unlikely.

Another part of the report claims that the device will feature a dual camera on the back. This setup will include a 48MP wide-angle camera without sensor shift stabilization and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera. Those are similar to the ones on the back of the vanillaiPhone 17.
Apple’s approach with theiPhone Foldapparently includes some sacrifices, which is not such a big surprise. Samsung does it with theGalaxy Z Fold 7and Google does it with thePixel 10 Pro Foldso it makes sense that Apple goes the same way.
According to the new leak, theiPhone Foldis set to launch in the second half of 2026, alongside the secondiPhone Air and theiPhone 18 Pro models. A recent report from Koreaclaimed that Apple had changed its plans and thefoldable iPhoneis set to launch in 2027.
Touch ID is better for a foldable
I wouldn’t trade Face ID on a standard smartphone for anything, but I think foldables are better off with a fingerprint scanner in the side button. That way, you can unlock the device in the same way, regardless of which display you want to use.
