Overview

  • Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Fold, is slated for release in late 2026, marking the company's entry into the foldable device market.
  • The iPhone Fold will adopt a book-style dual-screen design, with a 7.76-inch inner display and a 5.49-inch outer display, offering a near 4:3 aspect ratio for software consistency.
  • The device will prioritize Touch ID over Face ID due to technical challenges with embedding TrueDepth components under the display, instead utilizing an under-screen camera for the inner display.
  • Apple will exclusively source OLED panels from Samsung Display, which has developed technology to minimize screen creases, a key factor in the device's premium quality.
  • With an estimated price range of $2,100 to $2,300, the iPhone Fold is positioned as a high-end product, priced significantly higher than Apple's current flagship models.
