Apple will launch its first foldable iPhone in 2026 as a book-style foldable similar to Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. The device is expected to be slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 when folded and unfolded, with reported dimensions of about 9–9.5mm folded and 4.5–4.8mm unfolded. In-cell touchscreen technology may reduce crease visibility, and a liquid metal hinge is rumored. The foldable market will be more mature and competitive, and Apple may include Touch ID and a display smaller than the iPhone 16.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported multiple times that the first Apple foldable will be similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series. It will also come close to the book-style foldable's design in terms of thickness and crease visibility. According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo , the iPhone Fold could measure between 9- and 9.5mm when folded, and around 4.5- to 4.8mm when unfolded.
Also: How to clear your iPhone cache (and why you should do it before the iOS 26 update) For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded. While a few millimeters might not seem like a big deal, they affect the in-hand feel immensely. That's why I like the Samsung foldable more than its competitors.
