Apple is close to making the iPhone foldable. While rumors about a foldable device from Apple have been broadcast for some time, details around development are rare. However, in recent months, there has been a traction around the foldable iPhone. This discussion has been fuel by the newly given patents and industry analysts by Apple. According to reports, Apple is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone in 2026.

Analysts like Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggest that for its first foldable device, Apple is aiming to achieve a crease-free display, better durability and a polish software experience. Although the company has not officially confirmed its plans, Gurman has suggested that Apple has been quietly testing its foldable technology for years. Other reports of digital chat stations such as Ming-Chi Kuo and Tipsters also indicate an estimated at the end of the 2026 release window.

Not only the date, but also the rumors are portraying a picture of what to expect from the foldable iPhone for the first time. As an expectation makes, let us take a look at everything we know about Apple’s long -awaited foldable iPhone.

Foldable iPhone is likely to receive conjiles display

The reason for the completion of the company is the reason behind the relatively slow growth of Apple’s foldable device. In the case of the foldable device, the Apple is dealing with the issue of the crease, which we already see in the foldable Android phone. While Android devices are improving, Apple is said to be working on making the performance as far as possible, it is happening in an attempt long ago-it remains smooth and creed-free even after widespread use. The company is believed to be collaborating with the performance manufacturers to develop a new type of flexible OLED panels that eliminate the visible crease.

Book-style folding system

Apple has allegedly tested various designs for its first foldable device, including a clamshell-style fold similar to the Galaxy Z Flip. However, the company has settled on the folding system of a book-style. This means that the device will offer a large screen for multitasking, reading and media consumption, like an iPad.

In terms of size, the foldable iPhone is expected to have a 5.5 -inch outer display and a 7.8 -inch internal screen facility when it is closed. If true, it will now make the foldable iPhone the same in size, which had a 7.9-inch display) now-constructed iPad (which had a 7.9-inch display). When appearing, the device may be similar to two 6.1 inch iPhones.

Apple is also allegedly using its iPhone 17 air technology-a rumor iPhone is expected to debut as the thinnest iPhone in the upcoming iPhone 17 series-which is to make foldable iPhone Ultra-Thin. When completely opened, the device can be just 4.8 mm thick, making it one of the thinnest foldables on the market. However, when folded, it can be between 9 mm and 9.5 mm thick, which is still relatively compact compared to other book-style foldables.

Touch ID can return

Following a report by Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the more unexpected rumors, suggests that Apple may replace face ID with integrated touch ID in the power button. This decision is allegedly inspired by the need to keep the front camera module as thin as possible. If the touch ID makes its way in the foldable iPhone, this will be the first time iPhone SE that Apple has included a touch ID sensor in the iPhone.

Titanium frame

Apple’s foldable iPhone is rumored to facilitate titanium chassis similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series. The titanium provides better durability by keeping the device lighter. Additionally, leaks suggest that apple may use liquid metal for hinge, material known for its strength and resistance to deformation.

High density battery and customized power efficiency

Battery life is another challenge on the way to Apple. Apple is allegedly working on a high density battery to ensure optimal performance. While the details of specific battery capacity are unknown, apple is giving priority to energy efficiency through software and hardware integration.

Tag of expensive price

Apple never closes by giving an excessive value tag to its new technology. According to rumors, its first foldable iPhone is expected to carry a premium price tag range between 2,000 and 2,000and2,500 (about Rs 1,97,000).
