Apple Foldable iPhone: Apple and foldable phones – two names that have been awaited in the tech world for a long time. Samsung has already made a splash in the foldable phone world with its Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series, but now Apple is also finally going to join this race.
There were rumors for a long time that Apple is working on its foldable iPhone. Now a new report has come which brings important information related to the production timeline and launch of this device. And if you are also one of those who are eagerly waiting to see Apple’s foldable device, then do not miss this news now.
Apple Foldable iPhone production date revealed
Well-known tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared a big information. According to him, Apple has now taken the preparation of its foldable iPhone to the final stage. The company’s assembly partner Foxconn will start production of this device by the end of 2025 i.e. between September and October.
And talking about its launch, this device will most likely be introduced in September 2026 along with the iPhone 18 series. That is, the day is not far when Apple users will also get the experience of a foldable device – and that too in Apple’s style.
Big information about the screen and design of the device
According to the information that has come out so far, when this foldable iPhone of Apple is folded, it will have a 5.5-inch screen, and as soon as you open it, it will turn into a large 7.8-inch display. This design can be quite similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, but Apple will present it with its unique style and finishing.
There is also talk of providing an under-display camera in this device and it is also being told that this time Apple can focus on Touch ID instead of Face ID. When the device is unfolded, its thickness can be around 4.5mm, and when folded it will be around 9 to 9.5mm thick. Meaning, this device will feel premium in the hand and will not be too heavy in weight.
Samsung Display is preparing special OLED panels
This time also Samsung Display i.e. SDC has been given the responsibility of making Apple’s display. According to reports, SDC will prepare 7 to 8 million foldable panels every year, so that when this device comes in the market in 2026, its demand can be met.
Not only this, Apple has also given orders of 15 to 20 million units to its suppliers. But this order has not been given for just one year, but keeping in mind the entire 2-3 year lifecycle. This means that Apple is confident that this foldable iPhone will remain in demand even in the long term.
The price tag will also be premium
Every Apple product is premium, and this will also apply to the foldable iPhone. Talking about the price of this device, it can be between $2,000 to $2,500, that is, about ₹ 1,73,000 to ₹ 2,16,000 in Indian rupees. Obviously, this phone will not be for the common budget user, but for those who want to experience every technology of Apple first.
Is the foldable iPhone worth the wait?
Apple’s foldable iPhone has been in the news for years, but now for the first time concrete things have come out about its timeline, production details and design. And the most important thing is that Apple is not in a hurry this time, but wants to enter the field with full preparation.
While other companies are releasing one or two foldable devices every year, Apple is thinking of launching it as a long-term and durable product. Perhaps this is the reason why every element in it is being carefully tested – be it design, camera, display or security.
When this device is launched in 2026, it will not be just a new iPhone – it will be a new chapter for Apple. And if it lives up to all expectations, then Apple is sure to dominate the foldable device space in the coming years.
