Apple's first foldable iPhone, due in the second half of 2026, is likely to sport an under display selfie camera (UDC), as per the treasure trove that is Morgan Stanley's recent specs sheet for Apple's iPhones launching through 2027. Morgan Stanley has penciled in at least one under display selfie camera on the upcoming iPhone Fold and no FaceID We leveraged Morgan Stanley's specs sheet for Apple iPhones launching through 2027 in a recent post to note that the iPhone Air 2 and the iPhone Air 3 still appear to be in the proverbial cards. However, that specs sheet also contained some valuable nuggets on Apple's upcoming first foldable iPhone, including: The iPhone Fold launching in the second half of 2026 is likely to sport at least one 24-megapixel under display selfie camera (UDC). It will have a dual-camera setup on its rear, including a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens. No variable aperture. No telephoto lens. No time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. No FaceID. This comes as a fairly respectable tipster on the Naver blog, called "Yeux1122," noted recently that the iPhone 20 lineup will sport Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) tech within its cameras. Do note that the iPhone 20 is expected to launch in 2027. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor is a chip that converts light into digital images by capturing photons with an array of photosensitive pixels. LOFIC is a type of CMOS that is much more efficient at capturing and converting incident light rays into digital images. It does so by capturing both low-light details and bright highlights without noise, resolving the inherent tradeoff between light sensitivity and saturation signal. This technology works for photos as well as videos. If Apple does end up implementing LOFIC tech, it would be able to expand the iPhone 20 lineup's dynamic range to 20 stops - which measure the difference between the darkest and brightest parts of a scene that a camera can capture in a single image without losing detail - versus the 13 stops for the current iPhones, achieving parity with high-end cinema-quality cameras in the process.
