Apple Foldable iPhone Board Leak Shows A20 Pro Chip as $2,000-Plus Launch Nears

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Aug 25

Summary

  • A video and AI-cleaned image posted on X allegedly show motherboard hardware from Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone, potentially the first claimed physical look at the device rather than a render.
  • The visible chip is said to be the A20 Pro, with the SoC die and DRAM placed side by side and linked by a redistribution layer instead of a stacked interposer design.
  • That packaging could improve heat dissipation and keep the module thin enough for a folding chassis, fitting expectations for Apple’s rumored iPhone Ultra.
  • The leak remains unconfirmed: no Apple markings, model numbers or shielding-can etchings are visible, and no other leakers have independently corroborated the material.
  • Apple’s foldable is widely expected to debut in September, though broader availability may slip, with pricing rumored to start above $2,000.
