Now, signs suggest that the company is finally preparing to enter the foldable segment with the iPhone Fold. While Apple has not revealed anything yet, leaks and rumours have painted a clearer picture of what to expect from the upcoming foldable device. Here’s everything we know so far about the design, specs, launch timeline, pricing, and more of the Apple iPhone Fold.
Apple iPhone Fold: Design
Leaks suggest that Apple may use premium materials like titanium for the body of its upcoming foldable phone. However, it’s not yet clear whether the device will be made fully of titanium or if Apple will also use stainless steel or aluminium. Addressing current design flaws, the Cupertino giant is expected to make the device strong and durable, capable of handling everyday use without getting damaged easily. Furthermore, the upcoming device is also expected to be more resistant to dust and scratches.
Apple iPhone Fold: Specs
The Apple iPhone Fold is anticipated to launch with a dual ProMotion display setup. The external screen is rumoured to measure 5.5 inches, while leaks suggest the inner display could be around 7.8 inches when unfolded. The device may be approximately 9-9.5 mm thick when closed, reducing to around 4.5-4.8 mm when unfolded.
Under the hood, the Fold is expected to pack 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and run on Apple’s new C2 modem. Additionally, the device is said to house a 5,400 mAh battery. In terms of optics, the device is expected to launch with a dual 48MP lens at the rear end and 18MP selfie cameras on both screens. Rumours also indicate that Apple might bring back Touch ID with the iPhone Fold, rather than relying on Face ID alone.
Apple iPhone Fold: Launch timeline
Although the company is yet to announce the launch of its first foldable smartphone, rumours and initial reports suggest that if all goes well, the iPhone Fold might hit the Indian and global markets in the fall of 2026.
Apple iPhone Fold: Price
The iPhone Fold is expected to be the costliest smartphone from Apple yet. Initial reports indicate that the smartphone might hit the stores with a price tag of around $2,000 to $2,500. In the Indian market, this would translate to approximately Rs 1,83,000 to Rs 2,40,000, along with taxes. Furthermore, it’s important to note that these prices are based on leaks and could change at the time of launch.
