The biggest discussion in the tech world right now is about Apple’s first foldable iPhone. It is being said that the company can launch it next year, in 2026. There have been numerous discussions about this phone for a long time, but new reports have recently revealed several important details about its features and design.
Design and Display
This new iPhone will feature a book-style design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. According to reports, its thickness will be around 9 mm when closed, while it will be only 4.5 mm when opened. The phone will have two screens – about 5.5 inches on the outside and a large 7.8-inch display on the inside. Apple is trying this time so that there is no crease or bend mark on the screen.
Camera and Security Features
Four cameras can be given in the foldable iPhone. One of these will be on the outside screen, one on the inside screen, and two on the rear side. This can make the photography and video calling experience even better. The notable feature is that Touch ID will be featured again in it. Due to the thin design, installing the Face ID system is challenging, so Apple is bringing back the old but reliable Touch ID.
Connectivity and Technology
This phone will be completely eSIM-based; that is, it will not have a traditional SIM card slot. It will use Apple’s new C2 modem chip, which will provide fast and secure connectivity. Apart from this, it will have in-cell touchscreen technology, which will make the touch response even better.
Color and Price
According to reports, this iPhone will be available in black and white colors for now. Talking about the price, it could be Apple’s most expensive iPhone ever. It is estimated that its price can be from 1800 to 2500 dollars (about 1.5 to 2 lakh rupees).
Launch Expected
Apple’s supply chain is preparing to start its production by the end of 2025. It is believed that mass production will commence by mid-2026, with an official launch scheduled for Fall 2026 (September-October).
Conclusion
Apple’s first foldable iPhone will not just be a new model, but a showcase of the company’s technical capabilities. Four cameras, the return of Touch ID and an extremely premium design have made it a topic of discussion in the market. Now it remains to be seen how successful it is after the launch.
