The world of technology has seen a significant shift towards foldable phones, with many major brands already having their models on the market. However, Apple has yet to join this trend. Enthusiasts and tech analysts have long speculated about when Apple will unveil its own foldable device. Recent reports suggest that the much-anticipated foldable iPhone is on the horizon, with a potential release date now becoming clearer.
According to a report from Bloomberg, we might see the iPhone Fold introduced at Apple’s classic autumn launch event in 2026. This aligns with the company’s tradition of unveiling new products in September each year. Interestingly, Apple appears to be planning to integrate the foldable model into its existing iPhone series, rather than establishing a separate line. This indicates that the foldable variant could be presented as the flagship model of the iPhone series, potentially making it the most expensive iPhone to date, with an estimated price tag of around $2,000.
Apple is reportedly focusing on minimizing the screen crease, aiming for a foldable display with an almost imperceptible crease mark. Another aspect under development is the hinge mechanism. Leveraging liquid metal (amorphous alloy), Apple is striving for a hinge that offers enhanced durability and longevity.
The foldable iPhone is expected to follow a design approach similar to the Galaxy Z Fold series. When folded, the device will measure 9-9.5 mm in thickness, reducing to 4.5-4.8 mm when unfolded. Rumors suggest that it will feature a 7.8-inch internal display and a 5.5-inch external screen.
Currently, these are the key details available about the iPhone Fold. As we approach the rumored release date, more information is expected to emerge, painting a clearer picture of Apple’s innovative venture into the realm of foldable smartphones.
