Xiaomi 18 Fold Resembles Apple’s Foldable iPhone Ahead of Apple’s Reveal

TL;DR Summary
At IFA 2026 Xiaomi showed off the 18 Fold behind glass—a foldable with a 5.38-inch outer display and a 7.58-inch inner display (2:1), plus a Leica-tuned triple-camera bar and a punch-hole inner camera. Xiaomi says it uses its Xring 03 chip and will share full specs at a Sept. 7 event, two days before Apple’s Sept. 9 reveal. Gizmodo notes the design closely mirrors the expected foldable iPhone and there was no hands-on testing, with US availability still unclear.
