• A leaker has shared many possible design and spec details of the iPhone Fold
• This includes a big battery, two rear cameras, just two color choices, and more
• The leak suggests this phone will differ from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in at least 7 major ways

It’s finally looking like the iPhone Fold might actually launch this year, as while this phone has been rumored for what feels like an eternity, we’re starting to hear a lot more details about it, with the latest leak shedding light on its potential design and specs.

From this, we’re getting a clearer idea of how it might differ from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 – the successor to which is likely to be the iPhone Fold’s biggest rival.

So below, based on this new leak from Instant Digital (via Apple Insider), we’ve listed seven ways Apple’s upcoming foldable phone could differ from Samsung’s current flagship one.

1. Its battery might be bigger

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 only has a 4,400mAh battery, but it sounds like the iPhone Fold’s battery could be significantly higher-capacity, with this source claiming it will have the largest iPhone battery ever.

That means it would be bigger than the 5,088mAh battery in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, with leaker Fixed Focus Digital recently claiming that its battery will be 5,500mAh.

iPhones tend to be very power-efficient too, so that might mean this is the longest-lasting foldable phone yet.

2. It could have one less camera

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has three cameras on the back, but according to this leak the iPhone Fold will only have two.
