Reports Point to Apple Foldable iPhone in Late 2026 With Ultra‑Thin Titanium Design

Bloomberg says Apple is pursuing a super‑thin titanium foldable modeled on iPhone Air with pricing near $2,000.

Overview

  • Mark Gurman reports the device is being designed to resemble two iPhone Air units side by side, signaling a focus on thinness.
  • The starting price is expected to be at least $2,000, positioning the model as an ultra‑premium showcase device.
  • An unveiling is reportedly targeted for September 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 lineup, with potential shipments slipping into October or November.
  • Gurman says at least some manufacturing will remain in China with Foxconn despite Apple's broader push to expand production in India.
  • Coverage notes a titanium chassis for durability and repairability, with some reports suggesting very slim unfolded thickness and possible 7.5–7.8‑inch internal and ~5.5‑inch external displays.
