Apple's Foldable iPhone Targeted for 2026-2027 Launch

Apple is actively developing its first foldable iPhone, expected to launch between 2026 and 2027, featuring a liquid metal hinge for enhanced durability and minimized screen creasing. Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple's use of liquid metal, previously used in minor Apple components, could revolutionize foldable phone durability and usability. The foldable iPhone is anticipated to have a 7.8-inch main display and a 5.5-inch cover display, adopting a book-style design akin to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold. Reports suggest the device could be priced upwards of $2,300, potentially making it the most expensive iPhone to date. Meanwhile, Apple is exploring other innovations, including adding camera capabilities to its smartwatches and considering foldable designs for future Apple Watch models. These moves signify Apple's strategic push into advanced AI wearables and foldable technology markets.
