Apple is expected to announce its first foldable iPhone in September 2026, potentially alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. This new device may retail for at least $1,999 in the United States, according to analysts. The foldable model will feature a 7.7-inch inner screen and a 5.3-inch outer display, resembling Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman emphasized that this launch represents a transformative redesign, surpassing significant past models like the iPhone 4, iPhone 6, and iPhone X. The device is designed to open like a book, offering enhanced capabilities for multitasking and media consumption.
iOS 27 is set to support this device with features allowing apps to be displayed side-by-side, enhancing user experience. Ming-Chi Kuo predicts it will include two rear cameras, one front camera, and a Touch ID power button, diverging from the Face ID technology.
Initial expectations indicated that the inner display would be nearly crease-free, but recent reports suggest that while Apple is using advanced technology to minimize creasing, it may not completely eliminate it.
