As 2025 draws to a close, Apple is reportedly preparing components for its rumoured foldable iPhone, which is expected to launch next year.<\/p>\n
According to Fixed Focus Digital, Apple has been building up an inventory of key parts<\/b> for the device. These likely include foldable OLED displays, a titanium frame, and an advanced hinge mechanism.<\/p>\n
The component stockpiling is believed to be laying the groundwork for mass production<\/b> ahead of an anticipated 2026 release.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone is said to feature a book-style design<\/b>, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. However, to set it apart from the competition, Apple is reportedly focusing on two features: a \u201cnearly invisible crease<\/b>\u201d and a \u201cmuch higher-quality hinge<\/b>\u201d.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Rumoured specs include a 5-6-inch cover display<\/b>, an 8-inch foldable main display<\/b>, four cameras<\/b>, Touch ID, the C2 modem, and eSIM support. Additionally, Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone is expected to cost over S$3,000. <\/p>\n
