A dummy unit of Apple's foldable iPhone has surfaced online, offering what may be the first real-world look at the device's overall shape.
The dummy comes in a white finish and appears to follow a book-style folding design.

One thing that immediately stands out is how rounded the device looks compared to many existing foldables.
The camera module is also hard to miss. At first glance, it almost resembles the camera bar seen on the iPhone Air.
The camera setup consists of two rear sensors rather than three, which matches earlier reports suggesting Apple may prioritize thinness over packing every possible camera into the device.
As for colors, the white finish shown here fits with previous rumors claiming Apple could keep things fairly conservative for its first foldable.

While the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup is expected to introduce more colorful options, the foldable model has repeatedly been linked to silver and darker finishes.
Expected specs and features
Beyond the design itself, rumors surrounding the device have remained fairly consistent over the past few months.
Most reports point to a foldable with a roughly 5.5-inch outer display and a larger inner screen measuring around 7.8 inches when opened.

Apple's A20 Pro chip is also expected to power the device.
One rumor that continues to generate discussion is the possible return of Touch ID.
Several reports claim Apple may use a side-mounted fingerprint scanner instead of Face ID, largely because fitting the full TrueDepth system into an ultra-thin foldable design presents additional engineering challenges.
Of course, it is worth remembering what these images actually are: a replica based on leaks and rumors.

They are useful for visualizing the device, but they should not be treated as confirmation of Apple's final design.
