Summary

  • Mark Gurman said the foldable iPhone images shared by Evan Blass were not authentic Apple renders but material that came from Xiaomi.
  • The disputed images showed the rumored device in space gray, white and red, but Gurman said Apple’s foldable does not come in red or green.
  • Apple is instead expected to keep the book-style foldable in more traditional finishes such as space gray or black and silver or white, though one rumor points to an indigo-like darker shade.
  • The company is widely expected to unveil the foldable alongside iPhone 18 Pro models at its Sept. 9 event at Apple Park, starting at 10 a.m. Pacific.
