Apple, the leading smartphone manufacturer, is set to enter the foldable market with an iPhone targeted for late 2026 launch. The progress was delayed due to challenges in display technology; specifically, the size of the crease that appears on foldable screens. With Samsung Display reportedly resolving these issues, Apple plans to equip the device with a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch main display. Priced above $2,000, the foldable iPhone aims for production of 9 to 15 million units annually.
Apple is finally moving forward with a foldable iPhone after addressing the size of the crease issue, expecting to launch in late 2026.
The foldable iPhone is expected to have a 5.5" cover display and a 7.8" main display, set to challenge Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8.
Despite using a mix of display suppliers, the foldable iPhone's development will heavily hinge on Samsung Display overcoming the technical challenges.
Early estimates put the foldable iPhone's price at over $2,000, potentially increasing due to tariffs, with annual production targets between 9 to 15 million units.
