"While it seems like a foregone conclusion that there will be a foldable iPhone, possibly late next year, there hasn't been much info about what it would look like. In the latest installment of his Power On newsletter Mark Gurman says he's being told it will look more or less like two iPhone Airs stuck together. That means it should be pretty thin, though potentially thicker than a Pixel 10 Pro Fold (10.8mm) and Galaxy Z Fold7 (8.9mm) since an iPhone Air comes in at 5.6mm thick."
"One benefit of basing the foldable on the iPhone Air's design is durability. While foldables have improved a lot over the years, there are still concerns about how they can stand up to abuse. But Gurman says the iPhone fold will be made of titanium, just like the Air, which both JerryRigsEverything and iFixIt have found to be pretty tough."
The foldable iPhone is expected to resemble two iPhone Air units joined, producing a thin device that may still be thicker than some competitors. Folded thickness could exceed current foldables, while unfolded thickness might be as little as 4.5mm. Pricing is anticipated to start at least $2,000. The frame will use titanium, which should boost durability compared with many existing foldables. The iPhone Air earned a repairability score of seven from iFixIt, and a similarly repairable foldable would be a notable improvement over the Pixel Fold and Z Fold7, which scored three.
