"If someone told you in 2019 that we'd see seven generations of Samsung Galaxy Folds before Apple released a single foldable iPhone, you'd probably have believed them because that's exactly how Apple operates. Wait, watch, then swoop in like they just invented the whole concept. Well, 2026 might finally be the year, assuming these leaks are legit and not just wishful thinking from analysts who've been predicting the iPhone Fold since the Obama era."
"The rumor mill is churning out some pretty specific claims right now. We're talking actual dimensions, chip specs, and price points that'll make your wallet weep. But more interesting than the what is the how and why. Apple's supposedly been tackling the exact problems that have kept foldables from going mainstream, which either means they've cracked the code or they're about to learn the same expensive lessons Samsung already learned. Let's unpack what we actually know versus what's tech journalism fan fiction."
Jeff Pu's investor briefings describe a foldable iPhone positioned alongside the iPhone 18 Pro with a September 2026 launch. The inner display measures 7.8 inches when unfolded and the outer screen measures 5.3 inches. The device reportedly measures 4.5mm when unfolded and about 9mm when folded, emphasizing extreme thinness and pocketability. Apple aims to address the key technical and usability problems that have limited foldables' mainstream adoption, with implied premium pricing and flagship-level components as part of the product strategy.
