Apple to Introduce Foldable iPhone in 2026: Details on New Design and Technologies.

According to ТСН: Apple plans to release its first foldable smartphone in 2026. Recently, insider Jon Prosser published 3D renders of the device, which he claims is the concept of iPhone Fold.

Design and Features

According to Prosser, the company has settled on a 'book-like' design after extensive testing of various formats, similar to those already released by Samsung and Google. The leak has generated significant buzz among fans of the brand, who jokingly commented that this is the 'Christmas gift' they have been waiting for. Rumors about a possible presentation of the foldable iPhone in September 2026 are becoming increasingly confident.

Technologies and Specifications

Prosser notes that Apple's main distinction will be its approach to solving the 'crease' problem - the bending point, which is often a weak spot for flexible screens from other manufacturers. The company intends to use a metal plate for even pressure distribution and liquid metal in the hinge.

According to preliminary renders, the new smartphone resembles a standard iPhone and will be about 9 mm thick when folded, with an external display size of 5.5 inches and a main display of 7.8 inches. When unfolded, the thickness of the foldable will decrease to 4.5 mm.

The gadget will likely feature four cameras: one external, one internal, and two main units. The return of Touch ID integrated into the power button located at the top of the body is also possible.

Colors and Price

Unlike the vibrant colors of the Pro models, the foldable iPhone will be available only in black and white. Regarding the price, Prosser believes it will be in the range of $2000–$2500.

'We will never talk about anything in the future.'

Reminder, Apple is preparing significant changes in the production of its smartphones that could substantially affect mobile photography quality. With the introduction of the foldable iPhone, the company aims to solidify its position in the market and respond to modern trends in mobile device technologies.
