Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected to be unveiled during the fall 2026 launch event, positioning it as the highest-end iPhone without a separate niche design series like Google and Samsung.
To set it apart from competitors, Apple is focusing on two main aspects: the nearly invisible crease on its folding screen and a higher-quality hinge, possibly utilizing liquid metal.
There is a slight concern that the complexity of the project might delay the launch to 2027, according to some insiders.
Apple aims to innovate with the foldable iPhone, emphasizing advanced features such as the seamless display and hinge quality.
