Overview

  • Leaks indicate the iPhone Fold will sport a roughly 7.8-inch crease-free inner OLED from Samsung Display paired with a 5.5-inch cover screen.
  • Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that South Korea’s Fine M-Tec will produce about 80 percent of the device’s internal hinges to stabilize assembly.
  • Tipsters say the foldable handset may be powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chipset on TSMC’s 2nm process and could include dual 48MP wide-angle and ultra-wide rear cameras.
  • UBS analysts forecast a U.S. starting price of $1,800–$2,000, while other reports suggest it could reach $2,000–$2,300 to maintain premium margins.
  • Ming-Chi Kuo anticipates mass production to begin in the second half of 2026, paving the way for a market debut around 2027.
