Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone may soon become a reality, according to multiple reports, with the tech giant planning to release its first foldable device next year. The smartphone is expected to have a book-style design, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series, hinting at Apple’s entry into the foldable market. While official details are under wraps, leaks point to key specifications, a premium design, and cutting-edge technology that could set it apart from competitors. Here’s everything we know so far.
According to the reports, Apple’s foldable iPhone may get a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover display. The company is also expected to offer a liquid metal hinge to enhance durability and reduce creasing on the display. As for the design, the iPhone foldable is said to feature an ultra-thin design with 9.2mm in thickness when folded and just 4.6mm when unfolded.

The device may feature an aluminum alloy middle frame for enhanced durability. Additionally, the device is said to house a dual camera setup and a side-mounted Touch ID sensor for security.
In terms of pricing, Apple’s foldable iPhone is expected to be priced at around $2,300 (roughly Rs. 1,99,000) in the US. The India prices could be more expensive, the reports added. It is worth noting that Apple has not confirmed the development of a foldable iPhone at the time of writing this article.
However, this move could potentially drive growth in the saturated foldable smartphone market, as Apple’s entry would directly compete with premium foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series and Google Pixel Fold. Despite multiple leaks, it remains to be seen when Apple will introduce its first-ever foldable iPhone and how it will position its foldable iPhone in the global market.
