Description:
Multiple tips now point to the same screen sizes for the foldable iPhone, but 
those sizes are quite small.

FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
report suggests the foldable iPhone will have a 7.8-inch foldable screen and 
a 5.5-inch cover screen We've heard those sizes before, so they may well be 
accurate That though would make the foldable iPhone's screens significantly 
smaller than those of its main rival 

There are still a lot more questions about the foldable iPhone than answers, 
and one of those questions is what size screens it will have. But we arent 
left wondering this due to a lack of answers  rather there have been many 
conflicting answers. 

Now though, were starting to see some consensus, as a report from TrendForce 
(via MacRumors ) claims that the foldable iPhone will have a 7.8-inch 
foldable display and a 5.5-inch cover screen  which are both dimensions weve 
heard before. 

Ming-Chi Kuo (an analyst with a good track record for Apple information) said 
the same back in March, and we also heard almost identical sizes from tipster 
Digital Chat Station in February. 

So while not all sources agree, there are now enough leaks pointing towards 
these sizes that they seem the most likely. Smaller than the competition The

If these sizes are correct, then the foldable iPhones screen wouldnt be 
especially large. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 for example has an 8.0-inch 
foldable screen and a 6.5-inch cover display. That means you essentially have 
a small tablet and a medium-sized smartphone all in one, whereas the foldable 
iPhone could end up with a foldable screen thats still a fair bit smaller 
than a tablets, and a cover screen thats quite compact. 

Wed argue that might hold it back, since it probably wouldnt fulfill either 
smartphone or tablet roles as well for most people, but then screen size is 
just one piece of the puzzle. If the remaining specs impress, the phone is 
suitably slim and light, and its not prohibitively expensive, then this could 
still be the device to make foldable phones mainstream. 

We probably wont find out for a while, as the foldable iPhone is unlikely to 
launch before late 2026  and may arrive even later than that. You might also
