Apple Foldable iPhone Coming in 2026 with Samsung OLED

Apple plans to launch its first foldable iPhone, possibly called the iPhone Fold, in late 2026, featuring OLED panels exclusively from Samsung Display. The device will offer a 7.76- or 7.8-inch crease-free internal display with under-display camera technology and a 5.49- or 5.5-inch external screen with a punch-hole camera. Authentication will use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor, foregoing Face ID to optimize internal space and achieve a slim profile. The chassis is expected to use titanium and possibly liquid metal, measuring about 4.5mm when unfolded and 9mm when folded. Pricing is projected between $2,000 and $2,300, with initial annual production estimated between 9 and 15 million units. This development highlights Apple's focus on premium quality and could significantly impact the foldable smartphone market.
