iPhone Fold rumor: iPad-like multitasking, but no iPad apps and no Face ID

"Apple's foldable could integrate Touch ID into the device's side button, as the 'front panel is too thin to accommodate the Face ID sensor array.' That means in place of the pill-shaped housing for the front-facing camera and Face ID, Apple will reportedly add a small-hole punch camera instead."

"The inner display will reportedly come with a wider aspect ratio, similar to Google's first-generation Pixel Fold, but not foldable flagships currently on the market, like the Pixel Fold 10 or Galaxy Z Fold 7. Though the updated layout could make multitasking easier, the folding iPhone won't run existing iPad apps."

"Apple is reportedly trying to take advantage of the phone's larger screen real estate by updating its 'core' apps with a sidebar on the left side of the screen. It will also give developers the ability to make the iPhone versions of their apps more iPad-like."

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone will incorporate an iPad-style interface enabling side-by-side app multitasking. The outer display matches a small iPhone's size, while the inner display features a wider aspect ratio similar to the original Pixel Fold. Though existing iPad apps won't run natively, Apple is updating core apps with left-side sidebars and enabling developers to create more iPad-like iPhone versions. The device will use Touch ID integrated into the side button instead of Face ID, due to the front panel's thinness. A small hole-punch camera replaces the traditional notch, while the Dynamic Island feature remains. The foldable will include two rear cameras and cost approximately $2,000.
