Apple leaks reveal iPhone Fold specs, a tabletop robot, new MacBooks, and more

Highly anticipated: Apple has long been rumored to release its first foldable smartphone in 2026, and a new leak now appears to have revealed some of its key specifications. A separate, simultaneous leak from another source also claims to disclose the internal codenames of dozens of Apple's upcoming products, including future iPhones, Macs, and IoT devices.

According to a Weibo post by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple's foldable iPhone will do away with Face ID and bring back Touch ID. However, instead of using a 3D ultrasonic under-display sensor, Apple is said to be opting for a side-mounted fingerprint scanner to minimize device thickness. The company is also reportedly reinforcing the hinge design to improve durability.

The iPhone Fold is said to feature a 7.58-inch internal display with an under-display front-facing camera, eliminating any visible cutout. The 5.25-inch external display will reportedly use a punch-hole camera with HIAA (Hole-In-Active-Area) technology to reduce the size of the cutout. The device is also expected to feature dual 48MP rear cameras.

Meanwhile, a leaked Apple prototype device has reportedly revealed internal codenames tied to dozens of unreleased products, including iPhones, iPads, AirTags, HomePods, XR wearables, and the rumored "tabletop robot." According to MacRumors, the device was running an early build of iOS 26, which was still referred to internally as iOS 19 at the time of the leak.

Must be a slow news day when you guys put up an entire article that rumours Apple is going to release replacements to...

...everything they currently sell. Doesn't take Einstein to reach that conclusion. :-/

 

[Eldrach]

Don't think FaceID will go away anytime soon - one of their smoothest features - so im calling false on that part

For Apple, their fold, IF they ever release it, better be 100% perfect.

That’s kind of Apple’s pattern. They usually wait until the tech is mature enough to be close to perfect, even if it means being late. I’m sure there will still be some issues, but at least they don’t treat customers as their R&D like some Android manufacturers.

I see no point in a folding iPhone.

They don't need another AR headset. They need competing smartglasses.
