Foldable phones are not a new concept. Brands like Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, and Vivo have already launched their foldable devices. Some companies are even working on triple-foldable phones, with Huawei showcasing innovative designs. Meanwhile, Oppo has made this segment even more competitive with its ultra-thin foldable devices, addressing concerns about foldable phones being bulky.
However, Apple has been lagging in this space. But now, some details about the foldable iPhone have started to surface. Apple is known for taking its time before launching new products, but when it does, it often sets new trends. If you are an iPhone fan, there is good news! Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared insights about the possible launch timeline, leaked features, design, and expected price of Apple’s first foldable iPhone.
Expected Launch Timeline
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to launch either at the end of 2026 or in early 2027. However, the exact month and date are still uncertain.

Expected Price
The foldable iPhone will not be cheap. Apple is known for its premium pricing, and its foldable device is expected to start at around $2,000 (approx. ₹1,74,000). However, Indian users might find it even more expensive. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is priced at ₹1,64,999, which many consider costly. Apple’s first foldable iPhone could be even more expensive.
Expected Features
According to Kuo, the foldable iPhone will feature a book-style design with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display. The device will have a crease-free design, with a thickness of 9 to 9.5 mm when folded and just 4.5 mm when unfolded.
Apple fans eagerly waiting for a foldable iPhone will have to wait a little longer, but when it arrives, it is expected to set new benchmarks in the industry.
