"According to a new investor note by Jeff Pu, a rather prolific source of Apple-related information, the iPhone Fold will use a combination of titanium and aluminum in its frame. That's interesting because the Pro iPhones had recently gone from stainless steel to titanium a while ago, and then switched back to aluminum, the original iPhone frame material, this year in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max."
"A previous rumor by Ming-Chi Kuo, another analyst very connected with Apple's supply chain in Asia, claimed that the iPhone Fold's frame would be exclusively made from titanium, while the hinge would use both titanium and aluminum. Either one of these people misunderstood, or Apple has changed its mind in the meantime. The iPhone Fold is expected to sport a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch main folding screen."
Next-year iPhone Fold reportedly uses a hybrid titanium and aluminum frame. Earlier claims said the frame would be exclusively titanium with the hinge combining titanium and aluminum, creating a materials discrepancy. The device is expected to feature a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch main folding screen. The iPhone Fold will allegedly omit Face ID and instead rely on Touch ID. iOS 27 is expected to include substantial new features optimized for the foldable form factor. The Pro iPhone lineup previously moved between stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum, reflecting ongoing experimentation with premium materials.
