Apple's 1st foldable iPhone coming in 2026
Apple is gearing up to launch its first foldable iPhone in September 2026, likely alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Expect a book-style design with a rumored 7.7-inch inner screen and a 5.3-inch outer display—so it'll feel more like an iPad when unfolded.
What's special about it?
The inner display aims to minimize creasing, using specialty glass and materials from Corning and SCHOTT.
There's also a punch-hole selfie camera in the top-left corner, just like the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro.
Apple is focusing on making the hinge and screen as smooth as possible.
Price tag alert
This foldable won't come cheap—it's expected to cost around $1,999 (roughly ₹2.15 lakh), which is pricier than most Android foldables out there.
How does it stack up?
The main screen is slightly bigger than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold6 and offers a wider aspect ratio for more tablet-like use—great for watching videos or multitasking without feeling cramped.
If you've been waiting for an Apple foldable that feels premium (and don't mind the price), this might be worth keeping an eye on.
