This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, which provided new insight into the device's specifications and expected release date. According to sources, the gadget may appear as early as 2026, which is earlier than the dates mentioned in previous leaks.
The foldable iPhone will be equipped with a screen larger than the iPhone 16 Pro Max display with a diagonal of 6.98 inches. The device will be made in a "fold" form factor, where the screen folds inward. The thickness of the gadget when folded will be less than 8 mm. However, the device's cameras are expected to be simpler than in the Pro line to make the new product more accessible.
Some Apple representatives, according to the publication, are in favor of postponing the release to 2026. This is due to the need to refine the hinge mechanism and the protective coating of the flexible display.
Insiders also confirmed rumors about the development of another new Apple product - the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, which may appear as early as 2025.
