The first folding iPhone is not expected before the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, but Apple is already working hard on the device, which means that information about it is already gravitating the Internet. Technology analyst Ming Chi Quo sharedthat it expects the smartphone to be the type of book, not a flip, as it was supposed until recently. In addition to the form, he also shared details about the supposed price, which could exceed $ 2500.
Let's start with one of the most important components of any folding smartphone – screens. According to Kuo, we can expect a 7.8 '' internal display in the unfolded position and a 5.5 '' external display, as we mentioned earlier, it is likely that the fold is completely eliminated. The cameras will be 3 – 2 on the back panel and 1 on the front, which can be used in both folded and unfolded.
Another important detail is the thickness – here the analyzer mentions the subtlety within 9mm to 9.5mm in the folded position and between 4.5mm and 4.8mm in unfolded, which will not make it the thinnest folding smartphone in the world, but the difference will not be as tangible, especially for the first time.
The Faceid System is expected not to be present in the folding offer of the apple, Here you will rely on the Touch ID, which will be implemented in one of the side panels so that it can not affect the subtlety. The frame of the apparatus is expected to be made of aluminum alloy and the hinge of a mixture of stainless steel and aluminum alloy.
And here we come to one of the most defining factors for many consumers – the price. According to Kuo, she will surely exceed $ 2000, and he also argued that he would not be surprised if she exceeded $ 2500.
The specifications of the folding iPhone should be finalized by the second or third quarter of 2025, and the mass production will begin at the end of 2026. The launch date will be expected to be at the latest in the first quarter of 2027.
