The iPhone Fold is expected to arrive in late 2026 as Apple's first foldable-display iPhone. Ming-Chi Kuo states the device will not use an in-display fingerprint scanner and will instead employ a side-mounted capacitive Touch ID. Luxshare ICT is named as the chosen supplier for the side-button Touch ID module. The device would require two under-display scanners for internal and cover displays, which reinforces the side-sensor choice. Reported specs include a 7.8-inch folding screen and a 5.5-inch cover screen, with a rumored price around $2,000–$2,500 and uncertain sales volume.
Apple's first foldable-display iPhone, which we're calling iPhone Fold for the sake of simplicity, is widely rumored to be coming in late 2026, after many, many years of rumors and speculation about it. When it does arrive, it won't have an in-display fingerprint scanner, according to renowned purveyor of Apple-related supply chain information Ming-Chi Kuo. Six months ago, I predicted the foldable iPhone would use side-button Touch ID.
Instead, he once again reiterates the fact that the iPhone Fold will have a side-mounted capacitive sensor. Apple has even chosen a specific supplier for this part already, according to Kuo, and that is Luxshare ICT. Considering the fact that the iPhone Fold would need not one, but two under-display scanners since it will have an internal folding screen as well as a cover display, this makes sense.
