Apple's Foldable iPhone to Feature iPad-Like Display and Liquid Metal Hinge

Expected to launch in 2026, the foldable iPhone will prioritize durability, software compatibility, and a premium user experience.

  • Apple's first foldable iPhone will adopt a book-style design with a 4:3 aspect ratio inner display, similar to the iPad, for seamless software integration.
  • The device will include a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner display, aiming to deliver both smartphone and tablet-like functionality.
  • A liquid metal hinge will enhance durability and minimize display creases, addressing common issues faced by foldable devices on the market.
  • The foldable iPhone will forgo Face ID in favor of a side-mounted Touch ID button to optimize internal space and maintain a thin design.
  • Targeted at the ultra-premium market, the device is expected to launch at a price range of $2,000 to $2,500 in late 2026.
