This report builds on earlier information from The Information in February, which mentioned Apple exploring two different folding iPhone prototypes. Now, it seems they’ve settled on a design with the codename “V68.” This codename suggests Apple has moved past the conceptual phase and is actively working with suppliers to develop the phone.

A key challenge for foldable phones is the crease that appears where the screen bends. The Information’s report aligns with one from DigiTimes earlier this week, indicating Apple is actively working on minimizing this crease and making the device thinner overall.

Looking beyond foldables, The Information also teases potential upgrades for future iPhones. Next year’s model might boast a groundbreaking mechanical aperture, allowing users to achieve professional-looking portrait photos with blurred backgrounds. Additionally, rumours suggest Apple is aiming for a significantly thinner iPhone in 2025.

With a foldable iPhone potentially on the horizon and exciting camera and design innovations in the pipeline, Apple seems intent on keeping its iPhones at the forefront of smartphone technology.
