The first foldable iPhone smartphone may get an underscreen camera

Network sources claim that Apple is planning to use an under-screen camera in its first foldable mobile device.

Initially, this innovation was expected to appear in iPhone 17, however, Cupertino decided to use under-screen cameras in more expensive devices.

According to the Korean publication The Elec, Apple is now waiting for its two main suppliers — Samsung and LG — will create appropriate technical solutions. The existing sub-screen cameras do not suit Apple in a number of parameters. Samsung and LG are taking different approaches to the problem: Samsung is working with Canadian company OTI Lumionics, while LG is developing its own technology. Only time will tell who will create an underscreen camera that satisfies Apple faster.

The first foldable iPhone is expected to resemble the Galaxy Flip externally. The official announcement of the novelty, according to rumors, is scheduled for 2026, but the dates may shift. Apple is still experimenting with the form factor and features of the device.

In addition, network sources report that Apple engineers are working on several foldable devices. The company plans a foldable laptop with a screen of about 20 inches.
