Apple's Foldable iPhone May Feature Side-Button Touch ID
Apple is planning a foldable iPhone!
This phone might have a fingerprint sensor (Touch ID) on the side button, like the iPad Air, instead of Face ID.
Tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says this is because the foldable phone needs to save space.
The phone will have a big screen inside and a smaller one on the outside.
It's expected to be very expensive, costing around $2,000 to $2,500.
It will have cameras on both sides, so you can use them whether the phone is open or closed.

The device will have a book-style design with a 7.8-inch and a 5.5-inch display.
