Briefly

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.

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.
