Smartphone world is buzzing again and now all attention is on Apple. After countless rumors, leaks and speculation, Apple’s first foldable iPhone is finally making the rounds in the press, with the “iPhone Pocket” making the headlines. In some leaked photos and insider reports, Apple is going full speed on a new design that will change the future of mobile technology. Design patents, prototype leaks, and more: the iPhone Pocket looks like it might become a reality.
This is not just another iPhone it’s a big bet from Apple in a new form-factor category that extends out to the foldable smartphone market, which is led by brands such as Samsung, Oppo, and Motorola. With his track record of success in innovating, Apple CEO Tim Cook is surely going to present something markedly different in this arena his unique brand of luxury, durability, and cutting-edge performance.
The leaked information includes a foldable design, as well as a number of powerful features and premium materials that could transform the iPhone Pocket 2025 into a game changer in the smartphone market.
The Foldable Revolution Begins
For as long as Apple fans can remember, the question has been when (and if) Apple would step into the foldable smartphone market. And now it appears that day is finally here. The iPhone Pocket will be a clamshell-style foldable phone, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series, according to reliable Apple analysts who have issued multiple reports in the past.
But, being Apple, it is expected that the brand will do more than just what is already in the market with the best build quality, best display technology, and best software optimization.
The device is said to come with two foldable OLED displays, a main foldable screen on the inside and a small external screen for notifications and quick access. Apple will, as always, concentrate on long-term durability and a seamless user experience. The leaks reveal that the hinge is machined precisely and the broken lines which form after thousands of folds are too small to be seen.
Design – Compact, Stylish, and Future-Ready
Apple sets design standards when it comes to which other manufacturers seek inspiration from, and the iPhone Pocket looks like it will maintain that tradition. The leaked design renders show a thin and ultra-premium design, made of aluminum or maybe titanium for more durability. The phone folds vertically, making it small and pocketable hence the name “Pocket.”
The dual camera module on the back lies within a circle or pill shape depending on the model, recalling the rounded-square or rectangular theme of the iPhone 15 series. The Apple logo is centered, and glows faintly when the unit is on possibly a customizable LED indicator. The foldable display inside runs edge-to-edge, offering a more immersive experience when unfolded. The bezels are super thin and the display might also feature an under-display front camera to ensure a clean and uninterrupted viewing experience.
Apple could also release some new color options for this model such as Pearl White, Graphite Black, Rose Gold and Ocean Blue – all finished with a sophisticated matte finish.
Display Technology – Apple’s Brightest Innovation Yet
The iPhone Pocket’s most eye-popping feature is its foldable OLED Super Retina XDR display. Apple is said to be teaming up with display makers such as Samsung and LG to create a new generation flexible panel that can deliver high brightness, contrast and color accuracy while retaining long-term durability.
The inside screen is tipped to be about 7.5 inches in size on opening, providing a tablet-like experience for users. A smaller 1.9-inch cover display will provide essential information such as time, notifications, messages and camera previews when closed. This approach will find the iPhone Pocket tipping both feasible and visionary: you’d use the phone to do those key things without unrolling it every single time.
The company is also supposed to bring ProMotion with 120Hz refresh rate so you can enjoy ultra-smooth scrolling, playing games and watching videos. The curved screen will have HDR10+ and Dolby Vision to further enrich multimedia experiences.
Groundbreaking Performance Innovation at the Core
In terms of hardware, the iPhone Pocket 2025 is expected to be powered by Apple’s A18 Pro Bionic chip with 3nm technology. This next generation chip offers unprecedented speed, efficiency and AI capabilities. However, the processor is more than capable of advanced multitasking in between folded and unfolded modes.
If you are editing videos, playing games, or multi-tasking between apps, the performance will be consistently smooth. The phone is expected to be equipped with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, for the professional users who crave for power.
Apple’s custom Neural Engine will accelerate machine learning applications and the GPU performance will be tuned for AR and 3D apps. iOS 19 is likely to be released with the phone, which means the software experience will be optimized for the foldable form factor, enabling users to split screens, run multiple apps and use productivity at a new level.
Camera Set Up Small But Powerful
Photography giant Apple has its fair share of rumors again with the iPhone Pocket expected to come with dual cameras to keep all your low-light prayers answered. The primary sensor is likely to be a 48MP wide angle lens while the secondary is expected to be a 12MP ultra-wide sensor. Between them, they promise to capture detailed & vibrant shots even in low-light environments.
At the front, it is expected that Apple will use a 12MP under-display camera, beneath the flexible panel to the screen’s seamless look is not disrupted. The camera will have all the latest bells and whistles from Apple including Smart HDR 5, Deep Fusion, Night Mode Portraits.
Video recording may support up to 8K at 30fps and cinematic modes and slow-motion functionalities will provide users with ample creative freedom. Apple may as well introduce more exclusive camera functionalities designed for foldable use such as “Flex Mode,” which lets you fold the phone halfway and record videos hands-free or take selfies from new angles.
Battery Life and Charging Speed
The iPhone Pocket is said to pack a 3,800mAh two-cell battery array, which will maximize space utilization and not bring any impact on battery life. With Apple’s energy-efficient A18 Pro chip, users should also receive battery backup for the entire day even if they make use of their device heavily.
The device will also have 30W wired fast charging through a USB-C port a first for a foldable iPhone as well as MagSafe wireless charging. There are even whispers of a new reverse wireless charging without a charging case that could enable customers to recharge accessories such as AirPods or the Apple Watch directly from the iPhone Pocket’s rear panel.
Software iOS Optimized for the Folding Experience
Apple’s major strength in the foldable competition is its smooth software execution. iPhone Pocket will be powered by iOS 19 which can bring new interface designs for foldable displays. The system will automatically transition between folded and unfolded modes, so that you can enjoy a smooth experience with applications, games, and videos.
They will improve usability, featuring Split Screen Multitasking, Drag-and-Drop gestures, and Adaptive Widgets. Exclusive iPhone Pocket features Apple could also include new features exclusive to the iPhone Pocket like “Compact Mode” to bring a more enhanced quick access stack on the smaller external display.
Siri will also be gaining AI-driven enhancements, making it more conversational and context aware able to tell if your phone is folded or unfolded.
Expected Release and Price Tag
Apple is said to then officially announce the iPhone Pocket in late 2025 or early 2026 and more or less confirm it with a teaser announcement at the Apple September Event 2025.
Folding iPhone: Price It’s not going to be cheap to buy the folding iPhone. OFFERS Storage The starting price of the base model is expected to be $1,699 (around ₹1,50,000) with the higher storage variants crossing $2,000 (₹1,75,000–₹1,80,000). So in terms of pricing it is on par with its foldable rivals Samsung Galaxy Z Fold & Mororola Razr+, but it still comes with Apple-branding.
A few more Foldable Frenemies
The competitive landscape will no doubt be transformed with Apple’s entry in to the foldable space. Samsung still dominates this segment with the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold series, a handful of brands such as Oppo, Vivo, and Motorola. But Apple’s sizable devotee army and stronger ecosystem integration could give it an enormous leg up.
And it turns out it’s a couple of those premium users who’ll make up the vast majority of the iPhone Pocket demand, loyalists who put off using the best design while we wait for one that’s stable enough (or at least until we all get sick of the shape). If the rumors are true, Apple may have just set the bar for foldable phones for the rest of the industry.

Apple has a strong track record of transforming technology parts of the market
redefining music with the iPod and reimagining phones with the first iPhone. The iPhone Pocket could end up doing the same for foldables. It brings together the portability, power and elegance of Apple in one futuristic device.
Apple’s foldable philosophy, though, is harder to move parts-crazy around with. Rather than a larger foldable with tablet-like dimensions, it is opting for a compact design that meets real-world needs. This shift could hold the key to making foldables more popular and more easily considered by anyone.
