Apple Reportedly Preps Ultra-Thin Titanium Foldable iPhone for 2026

Analysts say the device would headline a premium‑heavy fall lineup under a staggered rollout.

Overview

  • Recent reports describe a book‑style design resembling two iPhone Airs joined together, with a titanium build and a focus on extreme thinness.
  • Leaked dimensions point to roughly 4.5–4.8mm when open and 9–9.5mm when closed, plus an inner display near 7.8 inches and an outer screen around 5.5 inches.
  • Sources indicate Apple may swap Face ID for side‑button Touch ID and equip four cameras, with some leaks suggesting dual 48MP sensors on the back.
  • Pricing is widely expected to start at no less than $2,000, reflecting costly components and early production constraints.
  • Supply‑chain chatter points to ongoing work with Foxconn in China, pilot activity discussed in Taiwan, and possible India plans, as Apple prioritizes the foldable alongside iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max and Air 2 in fall 2026 with the base iPhone 18 potentially sliding to early 2027.
