Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to arrive in 2026, with Ming-Chi Kuo sharing some predictions for the device. According to Kuo, the phone will have a book-style design, a 5.5-inch outer display and 7.8-inch inner display, Touch ID in the side button, and a retail price above $2,000.
Kuo believes that only around 3-5 million units of the foldable iPhone will ship in 2026 due to production complexities. The phone’s thickness when folded is expected to be around 9-9.5mm, while the casing will use stainless steel and titanium.
In related news, Mark Gurman reported on iOS 19’s development, stating that the ‘LLM’ version of Siri is still on track to launch as part of the update. However, some conversational features are reportedly delayed for select users.
Gurman also mentioned that Apple’s approach to updating Siri will be gradual, offering new improvements over time rather than making drastic changes at once. This approach may help Apple stay competitive in the AI assistant market while leveraging its ecosystem and hardware advantages.
As always, there is much uncertainty surrounding these rumors, and actual details may differ from Kuo’s predictions or Gurman’s reports. Nonetheless, this latest news adds to the growing excitement around Apple’s foray into foldable technology.
