Next year’s iPhone lineup is expected to add the first ever foldable model, which may be called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. Today a new report from The Elec offers fresh updates on the screen sizes to expect from the iPhone Fold and the possibility of a delay.

Mizuho says the following iPhone Fold screen sizes are expected:
Outer display: 5.38 inches
Inner display: 7.58 inches
