First Cases for Apple's Foldable iPhone Surface Online
Key Points:
- Accessory maker iFunSmart has started listing protective cases for Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, confirming rumors about the device's design based on dummy units and leaked CAD files.
- The cases feature military-grade drop protection, integrated N52 magnets, a translucent matte finish, and raised lips around the camera and screen, aligning with previous leaks showing a slim profile and dual rear cameras without a telephoto lens.
- The foldable iPhone's design includes a multi-part snap-on case due to its folding nature, a circular cutout for MagSafe-style magnets in the case (though the phone itself may not have MagSafe), and a Camera Control button but no Action button.
- Apple is expected to launch the foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in fall 2026, with rumored specs including a 5.5-inch external display, 7.8-inch internal display, A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, dual 48MP cameras, Touch ID in the side button, and a starting price around $2,000.
- iFunSmart's listings are likely the first of many as accessory makers typically release multiple case options ahead of new iPhone launches, indicating growing clarity on the foldable iPhone's exterior design.
