Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is targeting a 2026 debut for its first foldable iPhone, with mass production expected to start early that year ahead of a fall release.
  • The handset is said to feature a larger inner display around 7.8–8 inches and a 5–6 inch cover screen, with four cameras split between two on the back and one each on the cover and inner displays.
  • Apple is reportedly favoring Touch ID in the power button over Face ID to help keep the folded device thin.
  • Connectivity details in the reports include Apple’s in‑house C2 cellular modem and eSIM‑only operation without a physical SIM tray.
  • JPMorgan estimates a U.S. starting price near $1,999 (about Rs 1.72–1.75 lakh in India), and all specifications remain unconfirmed and could change before launch.
