Jon Prosser Shows Apple’s Foldable iPhone Early
- Key Takeaways:
- YouTuber Jon Prosser posted 3D renders and specs claiming to show Apple’s book-style foldable iPhone.
- Prosser says the phone has a 5.5-inch external display, a 7.8-inch internal foldable screen, hole-punch cameras and a 9mm closed thickness.
- The leak conflicts with other reports on external size and whether Apple solved the visible crease and under-display camera (UDC) tech.
- Apple sued Prosser earlier in 2025 over leaks; he appears unfazed and published a video with the renders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am0jSTDd58E
What Jon Prosser revealed
Prosser’s video presents high-resolution 3D renders and dimension claims for a rumored Apple foldable expected next year. He describes a book-style design with an external display around 5.5 inches and an interior foldable panel measuring roughly 7.8 inches.
According to Prosser, both the outer and inner screens use hole-punch cameras — the inside camera placed in the upper-left corner. The rear shows dual cameras on an oblong camera plateau with an LED flash opposite the bump.
Prosser also gives a closed thickness of about 9mm, implying roughly 4.5mm per half. He contrasts that with the ultra-thin iPhone Air (about 5.6mm), suggesting Apple has pushed further on miniaturization if these numbers hold.
Tech details and conflicting leaks
Some earlier leaks suggested a smaller external screen (about 5.25 inches), and other reports have pointed to an invisible under-panel camera (UDC) instead of a visible hole punch. The most consequential unknown remains whether Apple can minimize or eliminate a visible crease in the folding display.
Prosser’s renders make the folded device appear wider than it is tall, and visually comparable to the first-gen Google Pixel Fold when open — minus Google’s thicker bezels. But supply-chain rumors and prototype reports still disagree on final dimensions, camera placement and the fold crease.
Legal and market context
Apple sued Prosser in July 2025 over previous leaks tied to unreleased iOS builds and product details. Despite legal pressure, Prosser published the foldable renders on Christmas Eve, suggesting he’s continuing to leak or analyze sources.
Even if Apple ships a foldable iPhone alongside rumored iPhone 18 Pro models next fall, its commercial success is uncertain. Premium pricing (reports hint at north of $2,000) and weak sales of experimental models like the iPhone Air raise questions about consumer demand for a costly new form factor.
