Apple fans, the wait might finally be over! After years of speculation, reports now suggest that Apple is preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market with its very first iPhone Fold. And if leaks are to be believed, this could be one of the most advanced foldable devices ever made.
Massive 7.8-inch Inner Display
According to industry insiders, the iPhone Fold will come with a 7.8-inch flexible OLED inner display, making it almost as large as an iPad mini when unfolded. The outer screen is expected to measure around 6.3 inches, giving users the best of both worlds — a compact phone that transforms into a mini tablet in seconds.
The display is said to be built using a next-gen ultra-thin glass (UTG) panel developed by Samsung Display, ensuring durability and smooth folding over time.
Dual 48MP Cameras
Apple isn’t compromising on camera performance either. The iPhone Fold is rumored to feature a dual 48MP rear camera setup, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro series, with enhanced low-light performance and 4K cinematic recording support. The inner camera may be hidden under the display — a first for Apple.
New Hinge Design and Build
One of the biggest challenges in foldable phones is the hinge mechanism. Apple has reportedly filed multiple patents for a “waterdrop-style” hinge that minimizes the crease while improving flexibility and durability. The device will also likely feature a titanium frame for added strength without increasing weight.
Expected Launch and Price
While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the iPhone Fold, several sources indicate that the company could unveil it in late 2026 or early 2027. The expected price could start at around $1,799 (approx. ₹1.5 lakh in India) — positioning it against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup.
Apple’s entry into the foldable phone segment could redefine the market. With a 7.8-inch display, cutting-edge hinge design, and powerful dual 48MP cameras, the iPhone Fold may set a new standard for premium smartphones.
If these leaks are true, Apple’s first foldable iPhone could be the biggest innovation since the original iPhone itself.
