This is an AI generated image of what the new iPhone Fold might look like based on rumours so far. There are three views of an indigo coloured fold phone, one vertical and completely folded up with an iphone 17 pro style camera, one standing vertically, unfolded, and one open horizontally with dark blue swirly patterns on the screen.
