Apple is getting ready for one of its biggest new products: a foldable iPhone. The company hasn’t officially announced it yet, but many reports and leaks say that Apple is testing the device and may launch it around 2026.
Design and Display
The foldable iPhone is expected to open like a book, similar to other tablet-style foldable phones.
- When opened, the screen might be 7.6 to 7.8 inches.
- When folded, the outer screen may be around 5.5 inches.
Apple aims to make the display smooth without any creases, which is a common problem for many foldable phones. This could be achieved using a new hinge design and special display technology.
Features
Early reports say Apple might remove Face ID in the foldable model because there isn’t enough internal space in a folding body. Instead, it could use Touch ID on the side button.
The phone is expected to use Apple’s next powerful chipset and an improved battery system designed for foldable devices.
Production and Release
Small-scale testing of the phone is reportedly happening in Taiwan, and mass production could start in late 2026. Some reports also suggest Apple may shift production to India in the future.
However, display challenges, especially keeping the screen crease-free, could delay the final launch.
Price
The foldable iPhone may become the most expensive iPhone ever, with a price between $2,000 and $2,500. The high cost is because of the advanced hinge, foldable OLED display, and premium build materials.
Impact on the Market
If Apple launches this device, it could create huge excitement in the foldable phone market.
In countries like Pakistan, the phone will attract tech lovers and early adopters, but high pricing and import duties may make it difficult for most users to afford.
