More iPhone Fold dummy shots appear in folded, open forms

More images of a purported dummy unit of the iPhone Fold have appeared, helping solidify the appearance of the much-rumored model.

On June 1, an image circulated Weibo via a reputable leaker showing what seemed like a prototype or dummy unit for the iPhone Fold or Ultra. Days later, more shots have emerged.

Shared to X early on June 7, the images from Sonny Dickson outright describes the pictured item as an “iPhone Fold dummy unit.” There are four shots, showing the model in its opened and closed states.

The two open shots depict a “back” that looks like the previous image, with one half black to represent the external display. The other half is white with the camera bump to one side.

The other open image shows the large black screen, as well as the hinge on the top edge holding it all together.

The closed shots are unsurprising, with one showing just the black “screen” half that will be visible to users, and the other with the white camera-equipped back.

Just like the earlier photograph, the item certainly matches up to an earlier CAD drawing Dickson shared in March.

Limited colors

Dickson also adds a comment about the color options that users could expect this fall when the iPhone Fold ships. It’s not great news.

“It doesn’t look like Apple will offer multiple colors, with white currently appearing to be the only option,” Dickson writes on X.

This, too, lines up with a claim on Friday, when leaker Instant Digital hinted Apple was deliberating over whether to introduce a black colorway. Apple was apparently still trying to decide on what colors to use.

Sonny Dickson is one of the more reliable leakers, and has repeatedly been the source of images for future Apple products. However, in the age of easily accessible AI-generated images, 3D printing, and other ways to fake an image, there’s always a chance that they are fake items.

The shots are convincing and certainly go along with earlier rumors and leaks. But, as always, there’s no guarantee until Apple actually launches the device.
