The widely upheld impression about Apple is that chances are very low that we'll soon get to see a foldable iPhone since it would take a huge shift to the monotonous iPhone design. However, the tech world has let out a tip from a credible source, claiming that Samsung is about to begin mass production of foldable OLED panels for an US-based client, supposed to be the iPhone maker.
The development was surfaced by Samsung Display President Lee Cheong, suggesting that the tech giant is inching closer to launching its first foldable iPhone, most likely dubbed the "iPhone Fold."
Foldable iPhone rumoured specs
Citing industry insiders, PhoneWorld noted that Apple's leaked foldable iPhone might sport a 5.5-inch cover display and a larger, 7.8-inch internal folding screen.
A notable feature of the device is its rumoured side-mounted Touch ID sensor for authentication, meaning it is expected to ditch the company's existing Face ID system.
Foldable iPhone launch timeline
While the foldable iPhone is expected to debut in September 2026, perhaps along with the iPhone 18 series, prolific tipsters have cautioned that Apple's timeline is tentative and subject to change.
Foldable iPhone price
The foldable iPhone is anticipated to be listed at an expensive price tag, speculated to exceed £2,000. This shows that it could be one of the most expensive foldable smartphones currently available on the market.
As the industry is abuzz with Apple's foray into the foldable smartphone landscape, the launch of the iPhone Fold seems to be the hottest topic of 2026 tech happenings.
