Apple said to be preparing components for the foldable iPhone launch in 2026

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is said to feature a book-style design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. However, to set it apart from the competition, Apple is reportedly focusing on two features: a “nearly invisible crease” and a “much higher-quality hinge”.

Earlier this year, an industry official told ETNews that Apple had successfully developed a crease-free foldable screen through a collaboration between Samsung Display and hinge supplier Amphenol. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also reported that Apple plans to use liquid metal for the hinge.

Rumoured specs include a 5-6-inch cover display, an 8-inch foldable main display, four cameras, Touch ID, the C2 modem, and eSIM support. Additionally, Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to cost over S$3,000.
