iPhone Fold

Next year’s flagship iPhone is widely expected to be a folding phone branded as the iPhone Fold. With a great deal of consistency across leaks and other reports, we do now have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

The latest post by a Chinese leaker with a pretty decent track record differs from previous ones in a few small respects, but the fundamental elements remain the same …

Apple will launch a lot of new products next year, including updated iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more. But there are two brand new 2026 products coming that have the chance to prove Apple’s “not first, but best” mantra once again.

Apple is likely done launching new products this year, but the company has plenty in the works for 2026, including four new iPhone models—one of which is expected to arrive very soon.

IDC has published a new report highlighting expectations for the foldable smartphone market next year, projecting huge 30% year-over-year gains driven by the “game-changer” of the iPhone Fold.

The iPhone Air was arguably the biggest innovation in iPhone design since the iPhone X. The iPhone Fold we’re expecting to see launch next year will be an even bigger shift.

All the signs point to the iPhone Fold being the best foldable smartphone launched to date, but there is one big problem with it – and it’s almost the obvious one …

The iPhone Fold has entered the next stage of production after what is said to be a “breakthrough” in eliminating the crease normally seen in folding phones when they are laid flat.

Although the display is being made by Samsung, several elements are said to have been designed by Apple and will be unique to the device …

After years in development, Apple’s first foldable iPhone is coming next year as a high-end new model. Today an analyst has shared a very high expected price for the new foldable that might, in my opinion, push Apple to call it ‘iPhone Ultra.’

Rumors indicate Apple will launch its first ever foldable iPhone next year, and a new leak has revealed what to expect from the new model’s battery capacity.

The latest rumors indicate we’re less than a year away from Apple’s first foldable iPhone debuting. And based on recent foldable market trends, it sounds like the iPhone Fold’s launch timing couldn’t be better.

It’s turning into a busy week for leaks around Apple’s new A20 chip line for next year’s iPhones. Yesterday brought word of much higher costs associated with the new 2nm process, and today a leaker has revealed what chip to expect for Apple’s first foldable iPhone.

I’d really like the concept of an iPhone Fold. I love the idea of carrying something that’s an iPhone in my pocket but an iPad mini in use.

We’re of course expecting the device to be very expensive, but I could see it being worth the cost. There are, however, two (or three, depending on how you count them) reasons why it might not be the right phone for me after all …

Next year’s iPhone lineup is expected to add the first ever foldable model, which may be called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. Today a new report from The Elec offers fresh updates on the screen sizes to expect from the iPhone Fold and the possibility of a delay.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is rumored to launch next year, with expectations that it will be Apple’s most expensive iPhone ever. A new report from Ming-Chi Kuo doesn’t dispute that, but it does say that the unit price for the hinge is “significantly lower than expected.”

A new report today from analyst Jeff Pu has details on what to expect from next year’s highly-anticipated iPhone 18 Fold. According to Pu, Apple will use a combination of titanium and aluminum for the device.

Bloomberg previously described the device as resembling “two titanium iPhone Airs side-by-side.”

Expectations that Apple will launch an iPhone Fold next year got further traction from a claimed Samsung announcement.

Update: Samsung has denied making the comments, calling it a “misunderstanding.” See the update at the end …

Once upon a time, there was just a single iPhone. Today, things are rather more complicated, with a choice of four new models plus two older ones remaining on sale directly from Apple.

Next year may see the most fragmented iPhone lineup we have ever seen in the company’s history – and that could be bad news for some of us …

Apple’s new iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever. But rumors indicate it won’t hold that title for long. Here’s what’s expected with next year’s even thinner iPhone Fold.

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air have just arrived. But next year, Apple has a very exciting new model coming: its first ever foldable iPhone. Here are five new features rumored for Apple’s ‘iPhone Fold.’

While Apple first started supporting eSIMs back in 2018, it’s only this year that it has taken full advantage of the technology.

For the first time, Apple is using the space previously occupied by an insertable SIM card slot for additional battery capacity …

Apple is apparently preparing its supply chain for an uptick in new iPhone sales next year, according to a new report by Nikkei. The company has apparently targeted sales of about 95 million iPhone 18 models in 2026, noting that the new lineup won’t arrive until the fall.

While the new foldable model will draw interest, Apple is expecting sales to be up across all iPhone 18 models. The company seems to be indicating that it expects a halo effect, where people are enticed into upgrading based on the flashiness of the shiny new folding iPhone, but some will ultimately opt to upgrade to a traditional slab iPhone 18 regardless.

Sure, the iPhone 17 lineup hasn’t even shipped yet, but that doesn’t stop the news cycle rolling on. A new report details the chipset we can expect to find inside the iPhone Fold and the iPhone 18 Pro models.

This will of course include the A20 chip, the first to be made using a 2-nanometer process, but the report suggests we can expect mobile data speeds to be faster thanks to a new Apple modem chip …
