Apple is gearing up to launch its first-ever foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026, marking the company’s official entry into the foldable smartphone market. Sources indicate that the device will feature a book-style design, equipped with a large internal crease-free OLED display and a secondary external screen for easy access when folded.
The foldable iPhone is expected to be Apple’s most premium smartphone yet, with analysts predicting a price range between $2,000 and $2,500. The device may include a titanium frame, a refined hinge mechanism, and possibly the return of Touch ID, especially if Face ID integration proves difficult within the foldable format.
Industry insiders report that Apple has already started the early stages of development and prototype testing. The company is expected to produce 10–15 million units in the first year, with major display suppliers, including Samsung, involved in panel manufacturing.
The move is seen as Apple’s answer to growing competition in the foldable market, which is currently led by brands like Samsung and Huawei. With this launch, Apple aims to redefine user experience by combining iPad-like productivity with the portability of an iPhone.
