Print Your Own iPhone Fold Dummy: MakerWorld Model
• Key Takeaways:
- A 1:1 iPhone Fold replica is available to 3D print on MakerWorld, uploaded by user Subsy.
- The mockup is based on rumored dimensions for Apple’s foldable iPhone (roughly 5.4–5.5 inches closed, 7.6–7.76 inches open).
- The design appears inspired by earlier community renders (not verified Apple CAD), so hinge and camera details may differ.
- Printing a dummy is a practical way to test size and pocket fit ahead of an expected September 2026 release.
What the MakerWorld model shows
The model on MakerWorld is a 1:1 scale replica intended to emulate the rumored iPhone Fold size. It gives a physical sense of how the device will feel in hand and pocket when closed and open.
Rumors circulating point to a roughly 5.4-inch closed display and a 7.6-inch open display, with some community renders placing the closed size at 5.5 inches and open at 7.76 inches. Those variations reflect differing leaks and concept designs.
Who uploaded the model
User Subsy posted the downloadable files on MakerWorld, and outlets including MacRumors and Macworld have spotlighted the offering. Subsy says the model is "based on recently leaked CAD drawings," though no verified Apple CAD files are publicly confirmed.
Background: community renders and sources
Earlier community mockups, notably from a MacRumors forum user named iZac, produced concept renders showing similar dimensions. Those community designs have informed later 3D models, but they remain speculative until Apple releases official specs.
How accurate is the dummy?
The printed dummy will likely be quite accurate for overall footprint and thickness relative to rumor ranges. However, details such as the hinge mechanism, camera layout, and exact port placement are probably not faithful to Apple’s final design.
Because the MakerWorld files draw from concept renders rather than authenticated CAD leaks, treat this as a size-and-feel prototype rather than a precise hardware mockup.
How to use the 3D-printed dummy
Printing the model is useful for testing ergonomics, pocket fit, and comparing screen real estate against current iPhone models. If you own a 3D printer, download the files, choose appropriate infill for weight, and print in sections if required for your printer’s bed size.
What you’ll need
A hobbyist 3D printer, slicing software, and basic post-processing tools are sufficient. Consider scaling or shell thickness adjustments if you want the dummy to mimic real-device heft.
Why this matters
Physical dummies help buyers and accessory makers prepare ahead of a rumored September 2026 launch. While this MakerWorld model isn’t an official Apple product, it’s a practical, low-cost way to visualize the next iPhone’s size and start planning cases and workflows.
Keep an eye on early 2026 for more refined CAD renders and dummy units as leaks and community reverse-engineering continue to surface.
